252 Rev. H. S. Gorliam's descriptions of 



Lemidia dia, n. sp. 



Rufo-testacea, subnitida, parce pubescens pectore ely- 

 trisque nigris, his basi anguste, fascia mediana, apiceque 

 Irete aurantiacis, femoribus posticis in medio, tibiarum 

 apice et tarsis infuscatis. 



Long. 21 lin. 



Head and thorax red, with a few setse ; of the same 

 width, and equal to that of the elytra at their base; the 

 latter widened to near the apex, with series of large, irre- 

 gularly-shaped punctures not very closely packed and 

 ceasing before the apex. Their base is entirely red, this 

 colour extending to the humerus and a little way down 

 the margin ; the central fascia is entire, and wider at the 

 suture, the marginal plica being nevertheless black. Apex 

 rather widely red. A beautiful and very distinct little 

 species. 



Hab. — W. Australia (De Boulay). 



A single specimen ; coll. Fry. 



Lemidia interrupta, n: sp. 



Nigra, subnitida, parce siibpubescens, capitis fronte, 

 antennis, palpis, thorace, elytrorum basi, limbo usque ad 

 medium tenuiter, macula in medio marginis triangulari, 

 apiceque sanguineis ; pedibus anticis ruhs, intermediis et 

 posticis nigris, illis genubus rufo-piceis. 



Long. 2 — 2^ lin. 



A very distinct species, rather shorter and wider than 

 the preceding, the elytra are closely punctured in series 

 terminating before the apex, the extent of the red markings 

 varies a little in the two examples I have seen ; the 

 marginal plica is red below the shoulder and near the 

 apex ; the middle fuscia being represented by a triangular 

 spot on the margin with the apex towards the suture.
