Hah. Nortlitrn Oueensland ( lHackburn's collection). Cairns district ( F. 

 P. Dodd). Type, 1. 93 12. 



Rather narrower than 7". iiiocslttla. and elvtral markings and proportions of 

 antennal joints different, l)iU prothorax somewhat similarly striated. The two 

 halves of the fascia are somewhat obliquely placed, and are narrowed as they 

 approach the suture. From some directions each eye appears to be divided into 

 two, and the comiecting rows of facets are really very few in number. The 

 antemiae are sligiitlv flattened towards the apex, sn that while, from some direc- 

 tions, the joints slighth- decrease in length, they also slightly increase in width. 

 The ])rotlu(rax from the sides appears to be strongly arched : its under-surface 

 is transversely corrugated in front, anil coarsely rugose with strong punctures 

 elsewhere: the metasteruuni anil abilimien are shining and almost iniinnictate. 

 The elytra at first api)e;ir to be im])unctate. but on close exaniinatiim the hairs 

 are seen to be set in small punctures. 



TILLOMORPHA MIROGASTRA sp. nov. 



Black, shining; antennae itips infuscated) and legs (except greater portion 

 of femora) castaneous. Upper-surface in places with black and silvery pubes- 

 cence, and with a few suberect hairs scattered about. 



Head with crowded liut sharply defined innictures. becoming somewhat 

 sparser towards base. Eyes large and deeply notched. Antennae rather long 

 and thin, first joint slightly longer than second and third combined, fifth the 

 length of first, and much longer than fourth, the others gradually decreasing in 

 length, but eleventh slightly longer than tenth. Prothorax distinctly longer than 

 wide, strongly convex, sides rounded to beyontl the middle, and then strongly 

 narrowed to base; with rather sparse and small jjunctures. except at base, where 

 thev are dense. Scu'.clhiiii small and rugose. Illyira about twice the width of 

 base of prothorax, parallel-sided (except for a slight incurvature at basal third) 

 to near apex, depressed across basal third, within each shoulder and on suture 

 near base ; somewhat shagreened and with numerous distinct punctures on basal 

 fourth, a])ical half shining and with sparse, shallow punctures. I'cniora strongly 

 pedunculate, hind pair just passing elytra; tiliiae (csi)ecially the himl pair) rather 

 long. Length. -| ^S'S "ini.

Li size outlines and general apjjcarance \ery close to T. iiiorstiila. but 

 pr-othorax nonstrigose ; the elylral clothing is nuich as on that species, but the 

 Mlverv antemedian markings do not meet al the suture. The three ;ii)ical joints
