MB. F. P. PASCOE' ON AUSTRALIAN LONGICOENIA. 303 



more or less with those behind it, those towards the base also con- 

 nected transversely, and forming slightly undulating bands; body 

 beneath yellowish spotted with black ; femora and tibiae yellowish, the 

 tarsi ashy ; antennae black, the basal half of each joint from the third 

 to the ninth inclusive snowy white. Length 10 lines. 

 A very distinct species, whicli for tlie present may be placed 

 after i2. semivestita. 



Penthea maculabia. 



P. dense pubescens et nigro setulosa, albida, confertim nigro maculata 5 

 prothorace linea longitudinali glabrata ; elytris disperse punctatis, baud 

 costatis. 



Hab. North Australia. 



Densely pubescent, with scattered black setulose bail's, whitish or greyish 

 white, with small black crowded spots ; head sparingly punctured, 

 impressed median line nearly obsolete ; prothorax with few punctures, 

 a smooth longitudinal line on the disk ; scutellum semicircular ; elytra 

 not ribbed, the punctures scattered, very irregular, free from pubes- 

 cence, and confined to the black spots ; body beneath whitish, spotted 

 with black and ochraceous yellow ', legs whitish ; antennae dark 

 brown, the scape and apex of the third joint whitish. Length S-S^ 

 lines. 



Allied to P. intricata and P. miliaris ; but the absence of costse 

 on the elytra, the glabrous line on the prothorax, and the uniform 

 spotting will readily distinguish it. 



Stmphtletes anagltptus. 



S. robustus, fusco tomentosus, supra lineis minutis brevibus irregularibus 

 fulvis vestitus ; prothorace in medio bituberculato ; elytris subtrigo- 

 natis, apicibus subtruncatis. 



Hab. Rockhampton. 



Stout, covered above with a brownish tomentum and speckled with very 

 small numerous short irregular fulvous lines composed of a longer 

 tomentum, the brovra spaces between them not larger than the lines 

 themselves ; head more fulvous in front, with black lines ; prothorax 

 constricted anteriorly, irregularly tumid, the middle with two small 

 tubercles placed transversely ; scutellum somewhat rounded ; elytra 

 subtrigonate, with six glossy black granules on each side at the base 

 arranged in two rows, the apices subtruncate, nearly hidden by longish 

 hairs ; body beneath with a coarse irregular buff pubescence ; legs 

 spotted with a brown and buff pubescence ; antennae considerably 

 longer than the body, densely fringed beneath. Length 12 hnes. 



A very distinct species which may rank &itev S. fumatus ; the 

 anterior coxae are spined in my specimen.
