the Australian Longicornia. 537 



anterioily very indefinite, posteriorly bordered by a dark zig-zag 

 line, the whole surface of the elytra marked with small black im- 

 pressed spots (the derm) ; body beneath greyish, tinged with 

 ochre ; legs spotted with grey and ochre ; coxae of the males with 

 a recurved spine. 



Length 10 lines. 



Owing to the loose sparseness of the pubescence, the glossy derm 

 gives a slight appearance of varnish to the surface of this species, 

 a peculiarity which is also possessed by Symphyletes sodalis, Pasc, 

 but from this it is distinguished by its longer prothorax, more con- 

 stricted anteriorly, and by the arrangement of its three rows of 

 tubercles, the innermost of which is nearly equidistant between 

 the suture and shoulder, while in *S'. sodalis it is almost close to 

 the suture.

S. griseo-pubescens, maculis ochraceis notatus ; prothorace 

 leviter insequali, subtuberculato, lateribus irregulaiiter ro- 

 tundato, antice constricto ; elytris apice rotundatis, ad basin 

 pauci-tuberculatis, pone medium fascia cinerea distincta.

 small almost obsolete tubercles on the disc, the side unequally 

 rounded, confusedly spotted with ochre, ashy, and dark brown ; 

 scutellum glossy black, the centre only pubescent ; elytra gradu- 

 ally receding from the shoulder, the apex rounded and densely 

 fringed with short hairs, the base of each with about half-a-dozen 

 tubercles, which are nearly confined to the region of the shoulder, 

 one of them being situated on it, behind the middle a tolerably 

 well defined whitish band, a whitish patch at the side between this 

 and the shoulder, and a few smaller patches on the suture and 

 near the apex ; body beneath sprinkled with grey and ochre, the 

 abdominal segments bordered with ochre ; legs dark brown, with 

 patches of ochre and grey ; anterior coxae of the males with a long
