median fascia on the elytra, narrow at sides, widening towards the middle including 
most of the discoidal area, and a spot on each side near apex of elytra, fuscous : 
sutural area fulvous, darker basally ; antennal segments I and IV, and the head 
spines, testaceous-brown : segments II and III, and the legs, testaceous ; head, 
mesosternum, and the abdomen beneath, dark ferruginous. Length 2*625 mm. ;

Holotype. — Mount Glorious. Queensland, March (H. Hacker). He. 3374, 
Paratypes. — Upper Brookfield. March ; Mount Tambourine, January (H. 
Hacker). 
The above species agrees fairly well with the generic characters ; the forked 
teeth on vesicle are here represented by minute spine-like tubercles, and the minute 
teeth on elytra, mentioned by Horvath, are absent. These may prove later to have 
only specific value. F. tricolor also differs from F. aspendus Horv., in possessing 
more prominent pronotal angles, and pale- brown apical antennal segment. 
Sinalda tinclalei (Hacker).

In the description of this species, I noted its resemblance to P. oethiops Hist, 
and P. testacea Dist. In a paper by Distant* which I have recently obtained, he has 
placed these species in a new genus Sinalda. I here transfer my species also, as it agrees
