ME. F. P. PASCOE ON THE LONGICOENIA OF AITSTEALIA. 97 



" Geramhycitce" into two subtribes — tbose with the anterior ace- 

 tabula rounded, and tbose with them angulated externally ; but, in 

 fact, it is little more than a question of degree ; and his " groupe" 

 (not "cohorte" or "sous-tribu") " GerambycitcB vercB^'' belonging 

 to his second subtribe, has them only slightly (paulo) angulated 

 externally, in which case it is not to be distinguished, so far as 

 this character is concerned, from those in his first subtribe " Gal- 

 lichromitcd" in which it varies from a closed slit or cicatrix slightly 

 open at its commencement and therefore forming a little angle, 

 to the whole side of the acetabulum prolonged into a large angle, 

 as in Tragocerus and other genera. In fact, M. Leon Fairmaire, 

 notwithstanding the numerous divisions which he has formed for 

 the European Longicorns, only places Callichroma and Ceramhyx 

 in the same "groupe," while in M.Thomson's ' Systema' they re- 

 present respectively the two great subtribes mentioned above, 



Xtstceita yittata, 



X. fusco-testacea; elytris albesceatibus, sutura et linea longitudinali 

 exceptis. 



Hob. Queensland. 



Brownish-testaceous, sparsely clothed with pale, delicate, erect hau's; 

 head finely and closely punctured, a deeply impressed line in front ; 

 prothorax also finely punctured, longer than broad, its disk with two 

 oblong, slightly nitid gibbosities ; scutellum subquadrate ; elytra very 

 pale yellowish white, shining as if varnished, minutely and irregularly 

 punctured, the suture and stripe on each elytron (neither quite ex- 

 tending to the apex) brownish testaceous; body beneath and legs 

 glossy luteous brown. Length 4 lines. 



Bethelittm. 



Caput antice brevissimum, tuberibus antenniferis fere obsoletis. Oculi 



lunulati, mediocres, grosse granulati. Antennee corpori sequales vel 



longiores, lineares, basi distantes, scapo obconico, articulo tertio 



sequali, quarto abbreviate, sequentibus quam prsecedentes lobgioribus. 



Prothorax oblongus, basi angustior, ad latera rotundatus, disco sequali. 



Elytra parallela. Cox<b anticse globosse. Acetabula antica breviter 



angulata. Pedes mediocres; femora clavata. Pro- et mesosterna 



elevata. Corpus depressum. 



The type of this genus was originally described by Mr. Newman 



without any generic name, and with the specific one of " signife- 



rum ;" at the same time he indicated it as being a " Gr. n. Callidio 



affine." In the same genus he also placed " piceum,''' which, 



however, was an old Eabrician species, and is now known as the 

 Callidiopsis scutellaris. Betlelium is distinguished from the
