44G MR. f. r. PASCOE on the OURCULIONIUiE. 



; transversis ; clava distinct a. Oculi parvi, rotundati, grosse 

 ■ granulati. Prothorax ampliato-rotundatus. Scutellum obsole- 

 tuni. JElytra oblonga, vel ovata ( $ ), prothorace paulo latiora, 

 basi siimata. Pedes mediocres ; femora incrassata ; tihioB 

 rect83, intus sinuatse, apice dilatatsD, posticse corbellis apertis, 

 resupinatis ; tarsi modice elongati ; unguiculi liberi, approximati ; 

 coxce anticse sejunctse. Metasternum breve. Processus inter- 

 coxalis truucatus. Abdomen segmentis 3-4 brevibus, sutura 

 prima arcuata. 



This genus lies between TracTiyphlceus and Asceparnus, and is 

 differentiated by the form of its posterior tarsi. Individually the 

 two species here described vary considerably in their markings ; 

 and, although very nearly allied,, I have no difficulty in separating 

 them at first sight. 



TiMARETA FIGURATA. (PI. XII. fig. 8.) T. fuscH, sftt dcRsc sqtia- 

 mulosa, setulis interjectis ; antennis pedibusque subferrugineis, illis 

 vnge setulosiii ; cupitc inter oculos paulo inourvo ; froiito dcprcssa ; 

 prothorace latitudiue parum loiigiore, albido squarauloso, fusco niacii- 

 latitn vario ; elytris seriatim punctatis, interstitiis planatis, albido- 

 squamulosis, in medio et ad latera plerumque fusco nebulosis, inter- 

 stitio quarto siepissime niveo, postice fascia lata communi conjuncto 

 et plus minusve ad apicem currente ; corpore infra fusco vel castaneo 

 pilis squamulisque tecto. Long. 2 lin. 

 Hab. Swan River (Fremantle). 



. TiMARETA SATELLiNA. T. prseccdenti valde affinis, sed squanmlis 

 plerumque concoloribus, minoribus, minus approximatis, elytris lon- 

 gioribus, interstitiis paulo convexis^ apice niveis. Long. 2 lin. 

 Hab. Fremantle. 



Atmesia glaucina. a. ferruginea, supra squamulis griseis, viridulis 

 intermixtisj dense tecta, subtus minus squamosa; frontc rostroquc 

 Icviter longitudinaliter impressis ; funiculo articulis duobus basalibus 

 longitudine aequalibus ; clava elliptica ; prothorace transverse, utrinque 

 fortiter rotundato, angulis posticis obsoletis ; elytris ovalibus, subti- 

 liter sulcatis, humeris obsoletis ; pedibus fcrrugineis sat sparse squa- 

 mosis. Long. 2\ lin. 

 Hab. Western Australia. 



This species is doubtfully referred to Atmesia on account of 

 the form of the prothorax and elytra. The genus itself may pro- 

 bably be better placed in the Leptopinse ; but all my specimens 

 having been gummed to paper, the chai*acters of the mouth, owing 

 to the gum, cannot be clearly seen.
