CERAMBYCID^E. 323 



Closely allied to the last species, and probably may prove a 

 variety of a different sex ; the spots on the elytra are not band- like 

 as in the other, and the terminal joints of the antennae are short. 

 Hab. Australia (Swan River).

lineis tribus latiusculis elevatis glabratis antice coeuntibus ;

 Long. lin. 3f . 



Of a pale browu, depressed, with short hairs, the face behind 

 the upper lip transversely and rather deeply impressed ; third 

 joint of antennas much shorter than the fourth. Thorax gra- 

 dually attenuated behind, punctured, with three widish smooth 

 elevated lines on the back somewhat connected in front, a smooth 

 elevated space on fore margin. Elytra punctured, each with 

 three pale yellow spots, one at the tip, one behind the base, and 

 one about the middle : these two latter are sometimes connected, 

 when they form a longitudinal vitta, widest behind. Legs and 

 under side palish yellow. 

 Hab. S. Australia. 



38. Callidium catoxanthum, n. s. B.M. 

 C. supra depressum, punctatum, unicolor, fuscum, subtus flavum; 



pedibus flavis ; thorace lineis tribus elevatis glabratis. 

 Long. lin. 4. 



This is so closely allied to the Cucujus, that at first sight it 

 may be taken for a variety ; it is larger, of a uniform brown 

 above, with three raised smooth lines on the back somewhat 

 connected in front ; the legs and under side are yellow. 

 Hab. Australia. 



39. Callidium ? erosum. 



C nigrum; capite punctato, ore testaceo; antennis apice fuscis; 

 thorace tomentoso, punctato, vel potius punctis confluentibus 

 eroso, disco rufo, medio subtuberculato ; elytris acuminatis, 

 apice deflexis, lineis duabus elevatis, interstitiis punctis confer- 

 tissimis pulcherrime erosis, sutura margineque runs, corpore 

 subtus pedibusque tomentosis. 



Var. /3. Majus; capite rufo, antennis fuscis, elytris rafislitura inter 

 lineas duas elevatas solum nigricante, pedibus nigro-piceis.
