FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
joint less developed. The apical jjart of the elytra (as in 
T. hamata) is punctured not at all faintly, though very much less 
coarsely than the front part. 
The following species appear to l^e new : — 
T. PRINCEPS, sp.nov. 
Robusta ; minus parallela ; fu-sca, antennis palpLs pedibus 
elytrisque testaceis, his fasciis ternis (basali, antemediana, et 
postmediana) fuscis instructis ; supra sparsim sat longe albido- 
pubescens ; subtus meso- et meta-stemisetsegmentorum venti-alium 
parte postica sat dense aureo-pubescentibus ; elytris antice fortiter 
nigulose, postice gradatim subtilius obsoletius, punctulatis, apice 
singulatim oblique truncatis et bispinosis ; prothorace leviter 
transverse, valde ruguloso, tuberculis 4 et spatio mediano 
lanceolate lse\'ibus instructo, lateribus spina forti instnictis ; 
femoribus linearibus. [Long. 19, lat. 5 lines. 
In the specimen before me (which is a female) the antennse are 
decidedly shorter than the whole body, and have their joints 3-9 
spined on either side (each less strongly than that preceding it , 
the 2 spines on each joint equal to each other, and much stronger 
than those of P. hamata and Odetcahni, joints 3-11 carinate above, 
and the apical part of joint 11 simulating a twelfth joint. The 
spine on either side of the prothorax Ls strong, not bent, and very 
sharp. On the elytra none of the fascite quite touch the lateral 
margins, and only the basal one touches the suture ; this (i.e. the 
ba.sal fascia) extends from shoulder to shoulder, and reaches back 
alx)ut an eighth pai-t of the distance to the apex of the elytra (there 
is a little infu.scation not connected with the fa.scia along tbe 
front part of the lateral margin) ; the antemedian fascia is quite 
narrow — almost linear — and somewhat of the form N ; the post- 
median fa.scia Ls of a lighter V>rown than the other two, and 
resembles the antemedian one somewhat in shape, but with a 
blurred and less defined outline. The elytra are about 2^ 
times as long as together wide, and about four times as long as 
the prothorax ; they are slightly at their widest Vjehind the middle, 
and their sides are scarcely perceptibly incurved behind the base.
