_Sceleocantha glabricollis_ is one of the shortest thickset forms; about 1¼ inches in length; of the usual uniform reddish brown tint; the small shining thorax furnished with a fine spine on either side; and the broad rounded elytron finely granulated. It is found along the southern coast of N.S. Wales. The common large white grub which bores in the trunks of the honeysuckle (_Banksia serrata_) growing along the coast of the south-east of N.S. Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, is the larva of _Paroplites australis_ described in 1842 by Erichson; in most of our Museum collections it is known as _Macrotoma servilis_. It is variable in size, measuring to 2 inches in length, and is of a dull dark brown tint, with a flattened rugose thorax with serrate edges. _Eurynassa australis_ is a large somewhat slender species 2¼ inches in length; the broad flattened dull coloured thorax is marked in the centre with two shining triangular patches pointing toward the head; the reddish brown elytra are finely granulated. _E. odewahni_ is a smaller species, with the thorax more constricted, shining, rugose, and serrate on the margins; it is found in the interior, and has an extended range westward from N.S. Wales to W. Australia. _Agrianome spinicollis_ comes from the north-east of N.S. Wales; it is a broader more flattened form, about 2 inches in length; the thorax is rounded and serrate on the sides; and the general colour is light reddish brown. _Iotherium metallicum_ hardly measures over ½ an inch; is of a rich metallic purple tint; the thorax is produced into a broad spine on the sides; and the wing covers are broadly round at the apex. The male is a much smaller coppery tinted beetle, and was described under the name of _Phaolus macleayi_; it is usually taken on grass stalks in open forest country.

(“Agricultural Gazette,” N.S.W.)] The CERAMBYCINAE comprise a much larger division of the longicorn beetles, differing from the last group in having the first coxae not greatly extended transversely; the thorax not margined, and the last joint of the maxillary palpus usually broad. _Pachydissus sericus_ is a slender silvery dark brown beetle about 1¼ inches in length, with the tip of the wing covers spined and the basal joint of the antennae thickened. It is generally found clinging to the rough bark of tree trunks. They deposit their eggs in the bark of _Acacia longifolia_; the larvae bore all through the trunk and larger branches; they have a wide range over the southern half of Australia.
