Leptops iliacus Pasc. 

 A specimen marked ^-Leptops iliacus Pasc." and taken by 

 D ' A 1 b e r t.i s at Somerset is in the Society's collection. Although 

 not a co-type (tho species, however, was originally described from 

 Cape York) it is probably the same species that Pascoe recorded 

 from D'Albertis' taking. It differs from the description, however, 

 in having the eyes narrowly ovate and almost acutely pointed 

 below , so that the words "'oculis late ovatis , infra rotundatis" 

 would certainly be misleading if applied to this specimen. The 

 eyes . however , are certainly wider than in most species of the 

 genus. In general appearance it is remarkably close to cicatri- 

 cosus, and its prothorax is much narrower than that of squalidiis, 

 the species with which Pascoe compared it. 



Peripagis r ohu stus n. sp. 



Black. Antennae and tarsi obscurely diluted with red. 

 Densely and almost uniformly clothed with pale scales having a 

 more or less distinct golden gloss. Elytra in addition with 

 dense setae. 



Rostrum with an acute median carina and rather feeble lateral 

 ones, the interspaces longitudinally rugose. Prothorax moderately 

 transverse , sides rather strongly rounded , base distinctly wid(!r 

 than apex ; with vermiculate but partially concealed sculpture, 

 with a rather strongly impressed median line , in the middle of 

 which is a short and very narrow carina. Elytra wide , much 

 wider than prothorax ; Shoulders square , sides very feebly de- 

 creasing in width to beyond the middle ; punctures in striae large, 

 but appearing much smaller through clothing. Length (excluding 

 rostrum) 16 — 17^/^ mm. 



Hab. — Queensland (Entomological Society of Berlin), Cook- 

 town (J. A. Anderson). 



A large robust species entirely without elytral markings. 

 On one specimen the setae are almost white , on another they 

 are almost of a golden yellow , on both they are more con- 

 spicuous towards the suture than towards the sides. There are 

 numerous setae on the prothorax and elsewhere. 



Peripagis V- albus n. sp. 



Of a dull red or reddish- brown , sometimes black. Under 

 surface, both of body and legs, a line on each side of prothorax, 

 scutellum , a V and eight isolated spots on elytra , with white 

 scales ; elsewhere more or less sparsely clothed. 



Rostrum tricarinate , median carina fairly acute , the others 

 feeble ; with dense , partially concealed punctures. Prothorax
