300 ME. F. P. PASCOE ON ATTSTHALIAIT LONGICOENIA. 



upper tubular parts receding from one another at a curve. This 

 seems to be a constant and important character. I hope these 

 details, taken in connexion with the statements made in my 

 former paper, will be thought to justify the strong conviction I 

 now entertain, that G. Passmori must be received as a species. 

 The close resemblance in general external appearance, with the 

 difference in size, weight, and a few points of structure, may 

 remind us of Bernicla Hutchinsii as compared with S. Cana- 

 densis. These birds are still often confounded even by sports- 

 men, the former being passed as the young of the latter ; yet no 

 doubt can be entertained by the scientific zoologist of their being 

 specifically different. 



I am indebted to Mr. Passmore for his attention in procuring 

 my additional materials, and for his valuable aid in some of the 

 investigations required. 



Supplement to the List of Australian Longicornia. 

 By Feanois p. Pascoe, F.L.S. &c. 



[Eead June 20, 1867.] 



The most interesting of the following additions to the Longi- 

 cornia of Australia are from Cape Tork, the extreme northern 

 point of the continent. They were a part of a small collection of 

 Coleoptera made by a German naturalist, which had doubtless 

 previously yielded some of its choicest specimens to the Sydney 

 entomologists. Judging from what remained, the collection had a 

 completely Australian character, a few of the commoner forms of 

 the middle and southern portions being, however, very feebly or 

 not at all represented — i. e. the Buprestidae, Hesthesis, the Steno- 

 derinse, Phoracantha, the smaller Lamellicornia, &c. ; of one of 

 the Colydiidse, Dastarcus porosus, Walk., hitherto only found in 

 Ceylon and Borneo, there were several specimens. Of the La- 

 miidae, the genera Sodus, Atyporis, and Menyllus * have now to 

 be added to the Australian fauna. Batocera Icena, Thoms., and 

 Felargoderus Arouensis, both hitherto restricted to New Guinea, 

 appear to be common. Olaucytes, a genus found ia the New He- 

 brides, some of the Malayan islands, and even in Madagascar, has 

 now a representative in Australia. 



* Menyllus maculicornis, from Aru, described by me from a single specimen, 

 not in the best condition, in the Wallacean collection, was imfortunately for- 

 gotten when I described Sysspilotus Macleayi, with which it is identical. The 

 latter name must therefore be cancelled.
