92 ME. I", p. PASCOE ON THE LONGICORNIA OF AUSTRALIA. 



mula, the base punctured, as well as the disk ; scutellum small, black ; 

 elytra black, the apices more pointed than in E. mimula, space round 

 the scutellum, band before the middle, but interrupted at the suture, 

 and another band between the middle and apex, yellow ; body beneath, 

 except the sterna, dull yellowish, the abdomen darker ; legs black ; 

 antennae entirely black. Length 5 lines. 

 I have great pleasure in dedicating this beautiful little Longi- 



corn to Mrs. Kruesler, of Crawler, to whom I have been indebted 



for so many interesting novelties. 



Aposites pubicollis. 

 A. rufo-brunneus ; prothorace pone apicem constricto, lateribus et basi 



griseo pubescentibus ; elytris confertim punctatis. 

 Hob. Western Australia. 



Head and prothorax pitchy brown, covered, except on the disk of the 

 latter, with a coarse whitish or greyish pubescence ; elytra nearly gla- 

 brous, reddish brown, each with four raised longitudinal lines, the 

 intervals closely and rather finely punctured ; the apex spinose at the 

 suture ; body beneath with a close grey pubescence ; legs dark red- 

 dish brown ; the tarsi paler ; antennae pale reddish brown, about a 

 third longer than the body, the third and fourth joints not dilated; 

 prothorax broadly constricted behind the apex, the middle part swel- 

 ling out into an obtuse prominence ; anterior coxae strongly exserted, 

 their acetabula broadly angulated externally. Length 13 lines. 

 In this species the anterior coxse are quite conical, and the 

 angles of their acetabula considerably larger than in A. madlentus • 

 the prothorax is also constricted anteriorly, and the abdomen does 

 not extend beyond the elytra. In these respects, and in the cy- 

 lindrical third and fourth antennary joints, this species rather 

 recedes from the type ; the latter character, however, may be only 

 sexual. The habit of the two species is almost identical. In the 

 British Museum. 



Ubacanthus stmulans. 

 U. griseo pubescens, plaga triangulari fusca nitida pone humeros, apice 

 elytrorum singulorum extus rotundato, dein tenuiter sinuato, sutura 

 in spinam exeunte. 

 Hab. South Australia. • 



Entirely covered with a uniform greyish pubescence, except a triangular 

 glossy brown patch behind the shoulder, but the patch smaller and 

 not bordered with a densely pubescent line as in U. triangularis'. 

 elytra shorter than in that species, and with their apices pubescent ; 

 prothorax slightly angulated on each side in the middle ; body be- 

 neath and legs closely pubescent ; antennae with a finer pubescence. 

 Length 10-11 lines.
