104 ME. r. P. PASCOE ON THE LONGICOENIA OE AUSTEALIA. 



at the basal constricted portion, differently shaped scuteUum, 

 longer legs, and considerably stouter femora. 



ECTOSTICTA. 

 Antennce corpore breviores, scapo articulo tertio fere sequali, sequenti- 

 bus brevioribus et subsequalibus. Oculi subtenuiter granulati. Pro- 

 thorax basi baud attenuatus. Acetabula antica fere Integra. Cseteris 

 ut in Ipomoria. 



The type of this genus is the Callidium cleroides, White. It is 

 a stouter form than IIom.(smota, with which it agrees in its nearly 

 entire anterior acetabvila ; but differs in the shorter antennae, the 

 altered proportions of their basal joints, and the rounded protho- 

 rax not attenuated at the base. The following is a new species. 



ECTOSTICTA EUIDA. 



E. fusca, nitida j capita prothoraceque rufis, boc grosse punctate ; scapo 

 nitido, disperse punctate ; elytris emnino confertim punctatis, flavo 

 bifasciatis. 



Hab. Champion Bay (West Australia). 



Slightly pilose, dark brown, shining ; head reddish, closely punctured : 

 antennae reddish, apices of most of the joints dark brown, the scape 

 shining, sparingly punctured ; prothorax reddish, with much lai'ger 

 pimctures than in E. cleroides; scutellum subquadrate; el3tra en- 

 tirely punctured, but the punctures larger and less crowded posteriorly, 

 the base reddish, between the base and middle a transverse yellowish 

 line, interrupted at the suture, directly behind the middle a somewhat 

 V -shaped lioe ; body beneath shining, the last four abdominal seg- 

 ments and legs dark brown, the bases of the femora and sterna red- 

 dish. Length 4 Unes. 



IpOMOEIA. 

 Caput insertum, triangulare, antice paule preductum, tuberibus anten- 

 niferis obsoletis. Oculi mediocres, reniformes, tenuiter granulati. An- 

 tenna corpore breviores, basi distantes, scapo obconico ; articulo tertio 

 breviore, apice mutico; cseteris longioribus, apicibus incrassatis. Man- 

 dibulcE parvae. Prothorax ad latera rotundatus, basi attenuatus. 

 Elytra brevia, parallela. Coxa anticse globosse, subcontiguse. Aceta- 

 bula antica subanguste angulata. Femora abrupte clavata ; tarsi bre- 

 viusculi. Pro- et mesosterna declivia. Corpus depressum. 

 Mr. Newman's genus Monoplia appears to be very nearly allied 

 to this, and to be distinguished principally by the third joint of 

 the antennae being spined, as in Apilocera, Gyrtophorus, &c. 

 Ipomoria is also allied to Homcsmota and Ectosticta, but is diffe- 

 rentiated from both by the shortness of the third joint of the an- 

 tennae, which is shorter than the scape.
