9 - Differs in having two small foveae between eyes and 

 antennae, rostrum long, thin, cylindrical, and with minute 

 mandibles, prothorax slightly narrower, elytra and abdomen 

 slightly wider and legs slightly shorter. 



Hab. — Queensland: Claudie River, several specimens cut 

 out of an old log (J. A. Kershaw). Types in National 

 Museum. 



The male differs from the male of promissus in being 

 larger, in having the head considerably wider between eyes 

 and insertion of antennae, and the space there largely exca- 

 vated, without a process projecting obliquely backwards on 

 (each side between an antenna and eye, the joints of the 

 ;antennae more cylindrical, and the elytra with rows of large 

 punctures in regular striae. The female differs from the 

 female of that species also in being without the lateral pro- 

 cesses on the head, and by the elytral punctures and striae 

 being as in its own male. The markings are also different ; 

 on some specimens they are more conspicuous than on others, 

 but they appear to be always in the same positions on each 

 •elytron as follows : — A long one on the third interstice start- 

 ing from the base, one on the fourth starting from near the 

 apex of the one on the third, one on the eighth from the 

 case to near the middle, a small one on the fifth at the base, 

 one on the sixth at the basal fourth, one on the third near 

 apex, and a transverse cluster on the third to sixth (looking 

 like an irregular interrupted fascia) ; the ninth interstice also 

 is sometimes pale throughout. The pale parts of the inter- 

 stices are usually wider than the adjacent parts. 



Eupsalis promissus, Pasc. 



Recorded by Pascoe originally from Batchian. I have 

 previously recorded the species from the Northern Territory, 

 but without quoting the original reference, which is: — Ann. 

 and Mag. Nat. Hist,, vol. x. (Ser. 4), 1872, p. 323, pi. xv., 

 fig. 8. The species also occurs in Queensland (Endeavour 

 River). The length and mandibles of the Australian speci- 

 mens vary as described in the original ones. 



CERAMBYCIDAE. 



Uracanthus and allied Genera. 

 The Uracanthides formed Group xxiii. of Lacordaire 

 (VIII. — 388), and were by him divided into two sections; the 

 first containing Scolecobrotus, Uracanthus, and Aethiora, and 

 the second Ehinophthalmus ; with the latter I am not now 

 concerned. To the first group Pascoe added Em mica, so that 

 at the present time it contains four genera, and these may
