scales ; the liead with considerably smaller punctures ; the inter- 

 ocular fovea smaller ; rostrum shorter , non - carinate and with 

 much smaller punctures ; prothorax less coarsely granulate-punctate ; 

 elytra with much smaller and all isolated punctures , and the 

 interstices with smaller and less regularly distributed granules, 

 w^hich on the suture are noticeably smaller but rather more 

 numerous. The intercoxal process in particular is different ; in 

 the present species it is acute and its upper edge is in a line 

 with the metasternum ; whilst in the preceding species it is ob- 

 tuse, and slopes downwards at an angle of 45 degrees.

In describing this species I compared it with australis i), 

 probably in error for fasciata. 



There are five other specimens before me which I refer to 

 the species. Two (without exact locality) are in the coUection 

 of the Germ. Entomological National Museum of Berlin, one was 

 sent to me from Victoria , and the others are from Glen Innes 

 in New South Wales. The Victorian specimen is slightly smaller 

 than the type , and is similarly coloured , but the others are all 

 slightly larger and darker (some have the derm almost uniformly 

 black), with the postmedian fascia rather more distinct. To the 

 naked eye all of these specimens appear to be without a pro- 

 thoracic carina , but there really is a very fine irregulär carina 

 ]3resent, but it is more or less concealed by the clothing. 



In general appearance the species is close to armata , but 

 the Shoulders are strongly rounded instead of acutely produced, 

 and the mesosternum is of quite normal form for an O.vyops. 



Syarhis Goudiei n. sp. 



Reddish-castaneous, head prothorax and under surface some- 

 what darker. With scales or setae varying (apparently with age) 

 from snowy white to somewhat ochreous , and dense on head 

 (especially close to eyes) , scutellum and parts of under surface 

 and legs , forming five lines on prothorax (of which , however, 

 two are sometimes scarcely traceable) and irregulär on elytra. 



Head wäth punctures each containing , but concealed by a 

 Scale ; inter-ocular fovea partially concealed, but opening into a 

 median impressed line on rostrum. Rostrum about once and 

 two - thirds as long as greatest width ; basal half with coarse, 

 but more or less concealed punctures , apical half with much 

 smaller and usually exposed ones. First Joint of funicle con-
