flavous, but with a wide median vitta extending from the 

 base to the labrum (with the membranous space before the 

 labrum pale), on its under-surface there are three longitudinal 

 infuscate vittae; on the pronotum there is an obscurely 

 diluted median line, and on two specimens some obscure marks 

 about the base, on each elytron the suture about the base is 

 narrowly pale, and then from about the basal third close beside 

 (but not on) the suture there is a narrow vitta, which at about 

 the apical fourth is suddenly dilated and continued till it 

 vanishes near the apex, there is another narrow pale vitta, 

 commencing at the middle of the base, and terminated slightly 

 after the commencement of the subsutural vitta ; the coxae 

 and femora (except the knees) are also pale. The specimen 

 from Birchip is not so dark as the others. 



TSCHNOMERA SUBLINEATA, Waterh. 



An abundant species on flowers in summer in many parts 

 of Tasmania, and also to be taken in New South Wales and 

 Victoria. 



Var. monticola, n. var. Several specimens from Mount 

 Kosciusko (taken by Mr. Helms between 5,700-6,000 feet) 

 have the elytra with a more or less conspicuous purplish 

 gloss, the prothoracic foveae deeper than usual, and the head 

 with a conspicuously depressed space in front semicircularly 

 terminated posteriorly between the eyes. 



CERAMBYCIDAE. 



Oricopis intercoxalis, n. sp. 



Blackish-brown ; parts of legs paler, tubercles glossy- 

 black. Closely covered with extremely short grey or greenish- 

 grey pubescence; head, antennae, tibiae, tarsi, and tip of 

 abdomen with straggling whitish hairs. 



Head with median line very feeble in front, but distinct 

 towards base; with conspicuous but not dense punctures in 

 front. Antennae passing elytra, fourth joint almost twice 

 the length of third or fifth. Prothorax with a strong conical 

 tubercle on each side, with two strong conjoined tubercles 

 on each side of middle, and with a small one in middle towards 

 base; with scattered punctures, similar to those between eyes. 

 Elytra much wider than prothorax, tips obliquely truncated, 

 with short basal rows of glossy tubercles ; with irregularly- 

 distributed punctures, fairly large and numerous on basal 

 half. Prosternum with a conspicuous glossy-tipped tubercle 

 between the coxae ; a smaller one (projecting obliquely for- 

 wards) between the middle coxae. Length, 13-14 mm.
