 (Belinse.) 



Caput subconicum ; rostrum subvalidiim, paulo arcuatum, capite 

 baud longius ; scrobes brevissimae, obliqua?. Oculi rotundati. 

 Antennce graciles, extus paulo crassiores. Protlwrax angu- 

 status, couicus, basi parum bisinuatua. Elytra angustata, ob- 

 longa, subparallela, basi baud producta, apice rotundata. Pedes 

 mediocres ; femora infra unidentata ; tihice rectae. Csetera ut 

 in Pacliyura. 



In habit more resembling the Chilian Dicordylus heilipoides, 

 Lac., than any Australian species. The genus, however, ia closely 

 a\\\edi io PacTiyura, differing principally in its narrow convex form 

 and toothed femora. The species described below is prettily but 

 confusedly spotted, the spots depending partly on the tomentum 

 and partly on the naked portions of the derm, including the small 

 shining granules which are dotted over it ; in my specimen there 

 is a sort of crowding of some of these spots, forming just before 

 the middle two indefinite oblique patches.

 prothoracis fere duplo latioribus, pone humeros paulo incurvatis, 



have been expected, are confined to the males. The same also for Macrohamon,
