( 165 ) XI Notes on the Longicornia of Australia and Tasmania_. Part I., ivith a list of the species collected by Mr. J. J. Walker, R.N., F.L.S., and descriptions of new forms. By Charles J. Gahan, M.A., F.E.S., ot the British Maseum (Nat. Hist.). [Read March 8tli, 1893.] This paper was commenced with the intention that it should be little more than a Ust of species and descrip-tions of new forms. In the course of its preparation, however, I experienced difficulties, arising partly trom errors of synonymy and of other kinds which I found in the Catalogue of Gemminger and Harold, but more especially due to the inadequacy of the descriptions of many' of the older authors, the result of which has been to make my task much longer than I expected, and to give to the paper a character somewhat ditlerent to that at first intended. The frequency of the errors I met with compelled me to take little on trust, and must be my excuse for burdening the text with so many refer-ences to the descriptions of species. A few notes that i have added with regard to genera and species will, i trust, be found useful by other workers on this dillicalt ^^TheLongicorns collected by Mr. Walker in Australia and Tasmania reach a total of sixty-two species, and are those which are numbered in the text. Of these twelve are described as new, and one has been taken as the type of a new genus. A few other species, not included m Mr. Walker's collection, are also described for the hrst time. PRIONIDiE.
