very much finer and closer puncturation and the absence of linear disposition in 
the punctures of its elytra. The black colour of its prothorax and head has a 
slightly brassy tone. 
Paisley Bluff, Reedy Creek. 
P. Homi, sp. nov. (2). Nitidus; nigro-fuscus; capite ad latera ante oculos 
palpis antennis pedibusque testaceis, prothorace elytris abdomineque testaceo- 
brunneis obscure fusco-adunibratis; capite prothoraceque vix nianifeste, elytris 
subtiliter lineatini, punctulatis; his (stria suturali antice abbreviata excepta) baud 
striatis. Long. 11 1. Lat. \ 1. 
Extremely close to P. Lindt, Blackb., but differing from it by the sparser and 
much finer puncturation of its elytra, which moreover has a more decidedly linear 
arrangement. In the examples observed the hinder part of the under surface is of 
a much darker colour in P. Lindi than in this species. 
Palm Creek. 
P. ereniita, sp. nov. (2). Nitidus ; niger, vix picescens, palpis antennis (clava 
excepta) capite ad latera ante oculos prothoracis elytrorumque lateribus tarsisque 
dilutioribus; capite prothoraceque subtilissime, elytris distincte sat subtiliter, 
punctulatis; in his puncturis regulariter lineatim dispositis, stria suturali bene 
determinata antice abbreviata. Long. If 1. Lat. 1. 
This species is notable for its dark colour. The puncturation of its elytra is 
not so fine as in the preceding species and runs in perfectly well-defined lines. 
Paisley Bluff. 
N.B.—The collection contains also an example of another species (apparently 
a Paracymus) from Paisley Bluff, which, being unique, I do not like to subject to 
the treatment necessary to be sure of its structural characters. 
PHILHYDRUS. 
P. Andersoni, sp. nov. 16). Ovalis ; nitidus ; piceo-niger, palpis (apice summo 
excepto) antennis (clava excepta) tibiis tarsisque rufis vel testaceis, capite pro¬ 
thorace elytrisque luridis vel testaceo-brunneis plus minusve fusco-adumbratis; 
supra crebi’e sat lequaliter sat subtiliter punctulatus ; elytris puncturis nonnullis 
(his seriatim dispositis) paullo majoribus vix manifeste impressis. Long. 2^ 1.
