There is a considerable variation in the distinctness of the ferru- 

 ginous tone of the lateral margins of the prothorax and elytr^ 

 and in the color of the legs, which are almost black in some speci- 

 mens. This insect scarcely differs specifically from the European 

 Paracymus nigro-ceneus, Sahl., except in re.spect of its punctura- 

 tion, which is considerably finer and scarcely so close. 



Appears to be common in South Australia ; I have it, or have 

 seen it, from Port Lincoln, York's Peninsula and various localities 

 near Adelaide ; I have taken it in Western Victoria also. 



P. (PARANACiENA) LiNDI, Sp.nOV. 



Breviter oblongus ; sat convexus ; nitidus ; supra nigro-fuscus ; 

 capite ad latera ante oculos, palpis, antennis, marginibus later- 

 alibus, et pedibus plus minus dilutioribus ; capite subtilius 

 crebre, prothorace sparsius etiam subtilius, elytris fortius vix 

 sublineatim nee crebre, punctulatis ; his (stria suturali antice 

 abbreviata excepta) haud striatis ; subtus niger, subtiliter coii- 

 aceus, brevissime pubescens. Long. 1§ lines, lat. ^ line. 



The color varies from that above described to an almost uniform 

 pale brown with the paler parts nearly testaceous. Extremely 

 like the European Anaccena variabilis, Shp., in general appearance 

 but differing from it, inter alia, in the evidently stronger and more 

 sparing puncturation of the elytra and in the tendency (evident 

 though slight) of the same to run in rows.
