Xystrocera Australasia, Hope ; affinis Xys. Indicse, Hope. Ru- 

 fescens, thorace globoso, lined media longitudinali vix notato ; 

 elytris rufo-castaneis viridi-ceneis, vittd fortiter punctatd, femo- 

 ribus atro-piceis. Long. lin. 11, lat. lin. 2^. 

 It is with hesitation that I give this insect as distinct from one 

 received from Singapore ; in sculpture, and in several minor points, 

 it certainly differs from Indica, and the genus is now recorded for 

 the first time as occurring in New Holland : it is singular that I have 

 also lately received from Sierra Leone another species intimately 

 allied to both of them. 



Callidium Essingtoni (Affine Callid. obscuro, Fab.). Brunneum, 

 thorace lined longitudinali parum elevatd, tuberculisque binis fere 

 mediis insignito ; elytris vittd albidd, tuberculis variis per discum 

 aspersis ; corpore infra griseo, pedibus pallidis. Long. lin. 4^, 

 lat. lin. 1£. 



There is a third Callidium closely allied to the above, from the vi- 

 cinity of Swan River. 



Rhytiphora (Serville) piperitia. Squamosa, nigro flavoque colore 

 variegata ; antennis plumosis articulis apicibus rufo-piceis ; tho- 

 race punctato ; elytris ad apicem abrupfe truncatis, ad basin tu- 

 berculis majoribus nigris, aliis per totum discum aspersis ; corpore 

 infra concolori. Long. lin. 8, lat. lin. 2J. 



This genus seems peculiar to New Holland ; more than twenty 

 species have fallen under my notice. 



Rhytiphora tuberculata. Grisea, antennis plumosis, thorace acutis 

 spinis insignito, elytris bispinosis, ad humeros crebris tuberculis 

 obsitis, disco in medio albo fuscoque colore notato ; corpore infrd. 

 albido piloso. Long. lin. 7j, lat. lin. 2j. 



Rhytiphora detrita, Hope. Picea, capite flavo-piloso, antennis plu- 

 mosis, thorace 2-tuberculato, elytris humeris prominentibus, dente 

 elevato in singulo fere ad basin posito ; per totum discum suprH 

 color piceus, lanugoque flava prcevalet ; corpore infra concolori 

 flavisque capillis obsito. Long. lin. 6, lat. lin. lj. 



Here three new species of Lamia ought to be introduced ; unfor- 

 tunately they are so changed in appearance by grease, that it is well 

 to pass them over. 



Rhagiomorpha (Newm. ?) unicolor, Hope. Fusco-brunnea, antennis 

 flavescentibus ; toto corpore supra et infra fusco-brunneo et pi- 

 loso, pedibus subflavis. Long. lin. 9, lat. lin. 2. 



Rhagiomorpha plagiata, Hope. Grisea, antennis flavis articulis 

 ultimis crassioribus ; thorace griseo-piloso ; elytris concoloribus, 

 punctulatis, macula magnd flavd inter humeros positd, secundd mi- 

 nore rotundatd haud ad apicem positd ; corpore infra griseis ca- 

 pillis obsito. Long. lin. 7, lat. lin. 1 J. 



Hathlia lacteola, Hope. Alba, antennis rufescentibus et pilosis ; 

 thorace lined longitudinali piced notato punctato ; elytris creta- 

 ceis ad basin punctatis apicibus subacutis, suturd sensim elevatd ; 

 corpore infra griseo-testaceo, pedibus concoloribus. Long. lin. 6, 

 lat. lin. If. 



Hathlia 4-lineata, Hope. Rubro-picca, antennis concoloribus ; tho-
