558 Mr. Francis P. Pascoe's Notes on 



to be CeramhyXy from which it is essentially distinguished by the 

 form of the pro- and meso-sterna, which are very narrow and de- 

 pressed, the coxae therefore nearly contiguous, and projecting far 

 beyond the edges of their cotyloid cavities. In all true Ceram- 

 hyces the contrary is the case, and the mesosternum is bilobed 

 posteriorly. Nothing that ought to be referred to Cerambyx pro- 

 per, in my opinion, has the prothorax so regular and free from 

 rugosities as in, this genus.

New South Wales. 



Brown, elytra, except at the shoulders, legs, and antennae, paler, 

 all covered with a thin, greyish pubescence ; head very short in 

 front, simply concave between the eyes, thickly punctured ; an- 

 tennae much longer than the body, the third joint a trifle longer 

 than tlie fourth, otherwise all, except the first two, are more or 

 less equal in length, and dilated on one side, so as to give the 

 antennae a serrated appearance ; eyes emarginate, the lower por- 

 tion by far the largest and inost prominent, not approximate 

 above ; palpi rather long, obtuse ; prothorax transverse, thickly 

 punctured, a strong tooth on each side; scutellura triangular; 

 elytra broadest at the shoulder, the side slightly incurved, the 

 apex rounded, with faintly-raised longitudinal lines on each, of 

 these two are more marked than the rest ; body beneath with a 

 coarser, greyish pile ; legs rather slender, femora not clavate, 

 intermediate and posterior tarsi with the basal joint somewhat 

 elongated. 



Length 9 lines.

Brownish-black, with a very thin, silky greyish pubescence ; 

 antennae with the basal joint comparatively slender, curved, the 

 third elongate, nearly as long as the fourth and fifth together, and 

 only slightly nodose at the apex ; tibiae at the distal extremity 

 and tarsi, and the upper part of the posterior femora at the base
