Macl. ; croesus, Blackb.; and mastersi, Macl., and is easily 

 distinguished from the preceding genus by the terminal joint 

 of the antennae, which has an almost quadratic form, and 

 drawn out into four points with a bay in between each two 

 of them. 



Phlogistomorpha croesus, Blackb. 



Specimens of this beautiful insect have been taken by 

 Mr. J. C. Clark in Western Australia. It was originally 

 described from South Australia. 



Phlogistomorpha blackburni, Schenk. 



The habitat of this insect was given by its author as 

 "Australia." I have now to record it from Victoria and 

 South Australia. 



Trogodendron monstrosum, Gorham. 



There are two specimens, a male and female, of this 

 remarkable insect in the South Australian Museum, taken at 

 Bowen, Queensland. The male, which has the bifid termin- 

 ation of the apical joint of the antennae, differs from the 

 author's description in having the prothorax strongly, the 

 head slightly diluted with red, the palpi and labrum reddish- 

 yellow; the lunate-shaped fasciae behind the middle of elytra 

 have, particularly on the posterior part, narrow reddish- 

 brown margins, which extend nearly to the suture, the oblique 

 guttae near the apex have likewise reddish-brown fringes 

 which are wider than the raised ivory portion. The female 

 differs from the male in being much smaller, not having the 

 apical joint of antennae bifid, and the reddish-brown margins 

 on the fasciae and guttae less conspicuous or entirely absent. 



Trogodendron rufipes, n. sp. 



Upper-surface black, diluted here and there with blue, 

 palpi, antennae, and legs red; slightly raised median fasciae 

 on elytra ivory, with wider fasciae in front of, and touching, 

 red; somewhat scantily clothed with long dark, interspersed 

 with pale, hairs, apical fourth of elytra densely clothed with 

 fine, depressed, golden hairs. Under-surface black, very 

 scantily clothed with pale hairs. 



Head densely punctured, the punctures small and some- 

 what rugose. Antennae extending nearly to base of pro- 

 thorax, second joint about as long as wide and slightly wider 

 at apex than at base, three to eight longer than wide, nine 

 and ten much wider and obconical in shape, the apical about 

 half as big again as the tenth, the outside apical angle 

 rounded and the inside one obtusely pointed. Prothorax
