, lection ; but the precise habitat of that and his other specimens^ 

 like the one in my own, is unknown. 



Abidjdus heros. 



A. rufo-flavus, nigro fasciatus; prothorace oblongo-ovato, antice angus- 

 tato ; elytris apice truncatis. angulo exteriore producto ; antennis mu- 

 ticis. 



Hab. Port Albany (north coast). 



Nearly glabrous, rufous yellow, banded, or otherwise varied with black ; 

 head with a deep semicircular impression above the clypeus, labrum 

 sinuato-emarginate ; prothorax oblong ovate, narrowed anteriorly, 

 closely punctured, the intervals sharply irregular, behind on each side 

 a broad slightly elevated protuberance, the sides black, clothed with 

 greyish hairs ; scutellum triangular, with a fulvous-grey pilosity ; elytra 

 covered with closely- set deeply-impressed punctures, posteriorly several 

 black tubercular points, from the scutellum on each side a black 

 curved stripe extends downwards and outwards as far as the middle, 

 a cm-ved band of rufous yellow follows, the remainder black, apices 

 truncate, the outer angle produced ; body beneath and legs black, a 

 fulvous patch on the abdomen, and the anterior femora, except at 

 the base, fulvous ; fore and intermediate taisi clothed with yellowish 

 hairs ; antennae black. Length 10 lines. 



Besides the difference of colour, which, however, is probably 

 variable, this species differs from A. thoracicus in the longer pro- 

 thorax, so narrowed anteriorly as to give it an ovate form, in the 

 very decided truncation of the elytra, and the antennse without 

 apical spines in the male. 



HOM^MOTA DUBOTJLATI. 



H. rufo-brunnea, parte apicali nigra, nitida; femoribus posticis pone 

 corpus exeuntibus. 



Hab. Western Australia {Mr. Du Boulay). 



Reddish brown, with long slender dispersed hairs ; head finely punctured, 

 a broad groove between the eyes terminating above the,mouth in a 

 semilunar impression ; prothorax with numerous shallow, almost ob- 

 solete punctures, much longer than broad, its base slightly elongated ; 

 scutellum parallel at the base, triangular towards the apex; elytra 

 divided in the middle by an oblique ivory line, reddish brown, and 

 thickly punctured anteriorly to this line, behind the line nearly im- 

 punctate, glossy, gradually acquiring a whitish pubescence towards 

 the apex ; body beneath black ; the breast reddish brown ; legs red- 

 dish brown ; the femora robust, the posterior extending beyond the 

 elytra ; antennse longer than the body, reddish brown. Length 4 lines. 



This species is closely allied to H. hasalis, but differs in colour, 

 in the less punctured prothorax, which is much more elongated
