Cossonus incisus, Pasc/ 2 ) 



Two specimens of this species were sent to me by. Dr. 

 Gestro, of the Genoa Museum. One from Celebes (the type 

 locality) and one from Somerset (Queensland) ; the latter 

 locality was not recorded by Pascoe in dealing with the in- 

 sects collected by D'Albertis. The species may be readily 

 distinguished by the shape of the prothoracic impression ; this 

 is in the form of an elongate triangle, with a carina across 

 the middle, so that it resembles the letter A.
