MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE CUEOULIONIDiB. 211 



The genus Blepiarda was described from a male specimen from 

 Cape York. The female differs in the insertion of the antennae 

 being in the middle of the rostrum and in the shorter scape. The 

 above two species depart from the type in having the two basal 

 joints of the funicle of equal length ; they are also not nearly so 

 broad ; another species is described from the Eiji Islands. The 

 following species is not so strikingly homogeneous as its conge- 

 ners, owing to its colour, its narrower outline, the prothorax not 

 being depressed above, and the elytra being less convex pos- 

 teriorly.

The male of the handsome species described below is unknown, 

 but probably will be found to differ only in the more terminal 

 scrobes and the longer scape. The genus is allied to Blepiarda,
