532 Mr. Francis P. Pascoe's Notes on 



scutellum, and a few spots posteriorly; body beneath and legs 

 covered with a close, ochraceous pile. 



Length 8 lines. 



A very distinct species, especially in the absence of tubercles 

 on the elytra, and in the colour. 



3. Symphyletes decipiens. 



S. griseo-viridis ; prothorace cylindrico, leviter corrugato ; 

 elytris extus albo-marginatis, apice anguste rotundatis. 



Adelaide. 



Greyish green, covered with a very delicate grey pubescence ; 

 head greyish white, with a small dark triangular spot behind 

 each eye ; antennae luteous, with a thin grey pile ; prothorax 

 equal in length and breadth, sparingly punctured and very slightly 

 corrugated in the middle, greyish green, varied with pale ochre ; 

 scutellum slightly transverse, rounded behind ; elytra somewhat 

 sinuate at the base, a little incurved behind the shoulder, then 

 gradually tapering posteriorly, each ending in a very narrow and 

 rounded apex, a pale ochreous patch on each side the scutellum, 

 with a few small spots of the same colour on the disc, a few al- 

 most obsolete tubercles at the base, and a broad pure white stripe 

 along the exterior margin ; body beneath greyish, obscurely 

 speckled with dark brown ; legs with a tolerably copious greyish 

 pubescence. 



Length 7 lines. 



Nearly allied to Symphyletes mgro-rirews, Don., which, however, 

 has a smoother and more transverse prothorax, contracted poste- 

 riorly, thicker and more pilose antennae, and the elytra broader 

 towards the apex, which is slightly truncate, presenting an angle 

 externally. There are also striking differences in colour, which, 

 as it is subject to vary to a certain extent, it is not necessary to 

 specify. 



4. Symphyletes derasus. 



S. flavo-castaneus, nitidus ; elytris subtrigonatis, granuliferis, 

 apice truncatis, linea lateral! dense albo-pubescente. 



New South Wales. 



Yellowish-chesnut, shining, the upper surface almost without 

 pubescence ; head rather broad, with a shaggy greyish pile in 

 front, the eyes small, black ; antennae ciliated beneath, otherwise 

 nearly naked ; prothorax nearly cylindrical, the lateral tooth ob- 

 solete, the disc somewhat corrugated, with fine punctures and 

 about six almost obsolete concolorous tubercles ; scutellum trans-
