542 Mr, Francis P. Pascoe's Notes on 



being no other than the Callipyrga of Mr. Newman. The Zygo- 

 cera pallidicornis of the former author appears to be in fact the 

 Callipyrga turrita, Newm. M. Leon Fairmaire has described 

 another very distinct species from Chili. 



2. Zygocera cuneata. 



Z. fusca, pube cinerea tecta ; prothorace lateribus conico, disco 

 mutico, nigro-fasciato ; elytris subanguste trigonatis, bia- 

 piculatis, basi unituberosis, maculis fasciisque duabus nigris. 



New South Wales. 



Dark brown, with a yellowish ashy pile, varied with black bands 

 and spots ; head obscurely striped, a black impressed line on the 

 vertex ; antennae pitchy, with a thin greyish pubescence ; prothorax 

 conical at the sides, the disc not tuberous, an anterior impressed 

 line, and three interrupted nearly black bands ; scutellum sub- 

 triangular, but rounded at the apex, covered with greyish hairs ; 

 elytra narrowly trigonate, with an elevated tuber at the base and 

 a slightly raised line on each, the apex bispinous, the apical two- 

 thirds ashy, without the yellow tint ; two irregular bands not meet- 

 ing at the suture, one nearly in the middle, the other behind it, and 

 a few spots principally at the base, black ; body beneath glossy 

 black, the pectus irregular, pubescent, a greyish hairy patch on 

 each side of the four basal segments of the abdomen ; legs dark 

 brown, the base of the posterior femora and the tibiae obscurely 

 ashy, and the two basal joints of the tarsi ashy. 



Length 5 lines. 



The nearest ally of this species is Zygocera pumila, from which, 

 however, it differs very decidedly in coloration and in the broader 

 and more conical form of the sides of the elytra. 



3. Zygocera spiloptera. 



Z. lutea, pube grisea tecta ; prothorace lateribus dente minute 

 instructo, disco mutico ; elytris ovatis, basi simplicibus, apice 

 rotundatis, basi maculisque (una majori postica) luteis. 



Hunter's River. 



Yellowish-brown, approaching to ferruginous, with a scanty grey 

 pile ; head and antennae clothed with short grey hairs ; prothorax 

 with a small sharp tooth at the side, the disc not tuberculate, 

 marked with two or three obscure bands ; scutellum rather trans- 

 verse, rounded posteriorly ; elytra slightly incurved behind the 

 shoulder, then very gradually rounded towards the apex which is 

 entire, the base not tuberculate, grey spotted with luteous, except
