 antice linea leviter elevata instructo, his in quartam partem basalem

Hab. New Guinea. 



Allied to P. Sundevcdli, Boh., but with a longer and more slender 

 rostrum, the antennae inserted in the basal quarter of the rostrum, 

 the funicle longer, and the prothorax more coarsely punctured, &c. 

 The spots are rather feebly marked, small and round on the pro- 

 thorax, larger and more irregular on the elytra, in both formed by 

 white transversely disposed setae. 



Phjinomebus exilis. P. elongatus, nigrescens, setulis cinereis sub-

 illo capite sesquilongiore, dimidio basali antice lineis tribus elevatis 

 notato ; funiculo brevi ; oculis magnis ; prothorace crebre punctato, in 

 medio cannula lsevi notato ; elytris striato-punctatis, interstitiis con-

Hab. Queensland (Gayndah). 



A Phcenomerus has lately been described by Dr. Gerstaecker, frcm 

 Zanzibar (I have long had it in my collection from Natal) . Pre- 

 viously a single species only was known (from Ceylon, and perhaps 

 India); but Mr. "Wallace's collection contained six others besides 

 the one described above. The species before us, whose discovery 

 we owe to Mr. Masters, in his recent expedition after that strange 

 ganoid fish, the Ceratodus Forsteri, is a narrower form than P. 

 Sundevalli, the prothorax less coarsely punctured, the interstices 

 between the elytral striae much less convex, the setae more scat- 

 tered, but forming a slightly marked band on the middle of the 

 elytra.
