This species I obtained at the sale of the late Mr. Donovan's in- 

 sects ; it was labelled as received from Van Diemen's Land. The 

 colour of this species in Donovan's plate is not dark enough ; the 

 variety with the basal and medial spots united on tlie elytra, is by 

 no means uncommon ; the species is also liable to vary considerably 

 in size ; a small specimen measured only 8^ lines long and 2 in 

 width.

The localities of ' Brasilia' and ' Nova Hollandia' are mentioned by 

 the latter author ; there cannot exist a doubt that the former locality 

 is erroneous. The species is subject to great variation. I mention 

 some of the most particular. 

 Var. a. Elytris {long. lin. 8 ; lat. lin. If) mediis trimaculatis, maculis 



binis antice parvis, postica triplo tnajcri. 

 Var. /3. Elytris (long. lin. 7 ; lat. lin. 11) late flavo-fasciatis maculis 



nigris aspersis. 

 Var. y. Elytris (long. lin. 11 ; lat. lin. 3) late flavo-fasciatis nigris 

 binis maculis notatis, apice late flavo, spinisque concoloribus, an- 

 tennis pedibusque pallidis. 

 This is probably an immature specimen. It is by no means un- 

 common. 



Sp. 9. Stenochorus anGustatus, DeJean. Sten. valde elongatus, 

 parallelus, pubescens, fusco-cinereus, thorace subplicato, conico, 

 lineis duabtis albidis. Elytris macula laterali antica, elongata, 

 fusca. 

 Long. lin. 10; tot. 15.

This species inhabits New Holland, and was sent me by Captain 

 Roe from the New English Settlement at the Swan River in Au- 

 stralia. I must remark that in this species the spines at the apex
