Sub-Family BRACHINIDES. 



23. Pheropsophus verticalis, Dej. 

 Mast. Cat. Col. Sp. 101. 



Two apparently distinct insects, and both unlike the specimens 

 from the East and South of Australia, are contained inMr. Froggatt's 

 collection, but I cannot detect any differences which would justify 

 the creation of a new species. 



Sub-Family LEBIIDES. 



24. Trigonothops fasciata, n.sp. 



Reddish-testaceous, nitid. Head smooth, a little prolonged 

 triangularly to the labrum, narrowed into a short neck immediately 

 behind the eyes. Thorax broader than long, rather broader than 

 the head at the eyes, rounded on the sides and ampliated above 

 the middle, narrowed again to the base which is of the width of 

 the apex, but truncate, the sides with a broad, slightly recurved 

 margin, having an erect seta on the anterior third at the widest 

 part, and another at the posterior angles which are rectangular 

 and sharp, the median line is distinctly canaliculate. The elytra are 

 wider than the thorax and about three times the length, slightly 

 ampliated behind, and finely striate with the interstices flat ; there 

 is a deep dark brown spot at the base on each side of the scutellura, 

 and a broad fascia of the same colour near the apex. The tarsi 

 are broad, the fourth deeply bilobed. 



Length, 3^ lines. 



25. Trigonothops pallidior, n.sp. 



This species closely resembles T. fasciata, but it is altogether 

 of a paler colour, excepting, perhaps, the head, which is also less 

 smooth and more deeply impressed in front. The elytra are of a 

 very pale yellow, and minutely striace-punctate, with a large 

 irregular faint brown fascia near the apex. 



Length, 3^ lines.
