Schizorhina Nortoni. 
Clypeus black, elongate, emarginate; thorax shining black, with 
black margins ; elytra shining black, sulcated, the stria broad and 
clothed with short white hair, apices of elytra coarsely pilose. 
Clypeus large, black, smooth, elongate, cylindric, emarginate 
in front, densely punctured, with black, opake, elevated lateral 
margins. Eyes lateral, pitchy. Antennse black. 
Thorax smooth, very finely punctured, densely near the mar- 
gins, shining black, with black edges ; anterior portion narrower 
than the posterior, and somewhat depressed at the sides so as to 
form an obtuse keel ; hinder portion a little narrower than the 
elytra, with trisinuate hind margin. 
Scutellum very large, smooth, nearly triangular, black. 
Elytra smooth and shining, nearly covering the abdomen, a 
little narrower at the apex than at the base, with four longitu- 
dinal smoothly hollowed strise on each elytron, not reaching the 
base, and filled with very short white setse, the two outer striae 
meeting at the apex, and filled at their apical terminations with 
very long golden-yellow hairs, which extend beyond the ab- 
domen. 
Body shining black beneath; head, thorax, and sides of abdo- 
men clothed with coarse golden-yellow hairs ; sternum produced, 
compressed, subtriangular. 
Legs black ; femora compressed, those of fore and middle legs 
densely punctured and sparsely clothed with short yellow setae ; 
femur of hind leg sparsely punctured, the sides not clothed with 
hair; tibia of foreleg short, compressed, strongly punctured, 
outer edge trispinose, inner edge with a marginal line of minute 
yellow hairs, and terminated by a long spine ; tibia of middle 
leg cylindrical, finely and sparsely punctured, a few yellow setae 
extending half along its inner side, apex quadrispinose ; posterior 
tibia elongate cylindrical, outer edge coarsely punctured and 
bluntly unispinose in the middle, the remainder smooth ; inner 
edge clothed with long, straight, yellow hairs; apex quadri- 
spinose : tarsi five-jointed. 
Length 16 lines. 
Habitat. Sydney. 
Closely allied to S.Philipsii, Schreib. (Trans. Linn. Soc. vol. vi. 
p. 193, t. 20. fig. 4, Gory, Monog. Ceton. p. 158, pi. 27. fig. 2), 
from which it differs in being altogether longer and much 
larger, and more quadrate ; the clypeus being longer, narrower,

and destitute of setae ; the thorax much more finely and sparsely 
punctured, more depressed at the sides in front, much more 
deeply trisinuate behind, shiny black, and destitute of setae; 
the scutellum almost imperceptibly punctured ; the elytra more 
roof-shaped, the striae more irregular, narrower above than be- 
low, filled with shorter and white hair, apical portion filled with 
long golden-yellow setae, protruding beyond the abdomen. 
The underside is not so densely clothed, and the femora are not 
so densely punctured and are much more destitute of hair; the 
tibiae much more finely punctured, the middle leg with no me- 
dian spine, and the hind leg with little beyond an excrescence. 
This interesting species was presented to the National Collec- 
tion by Mr. H. Norton, and is one of the most beautiful insects 
in the genus.

Coasts. By M. Hesse*. 
§ NOTOPTEROPHORUS. 
M. Hesse has obtained individuals of all ages of the curious 
Crustacean described by him (Ann. Sci. Nat. 5^ ser. tome i.) 
under the name of Notopterophorus papilio, and now gives an 
account of the life-history of the species. 
The male is one-third of the size of the female (2 mill, in 
length), and has the head large and the body short and stout ; 
and the thoracic region, which is of uniform width, does not 
present an enlargement for the reception of the ova at its base. 
The abdominal portion, which is cylindrical, is also shorter 
and more robust than in the female, and the dorsal membranous 
expansions are but small at the base, whilst the lobes which 
accompany them are very long, and gradually diminish to a 
point. In number and position these expansions are exactly 
similar to those of the female. The colour is a slightly yellowish 
white, through which the large intestinal tube, of a yellow 
colour, witli red and black points, may be perceived. The eye is 
black. The males occur in much smaller numbers than the 
females, in the interior of Phallusia canina. 
In their early states the Notopterophori resemble Cyclops, 
The body is cylindrical, and formed of four thoracic segments 
(including the cephalic shield), all of which present posteriorly 
two triangular acuminate processes ; of these the points, directed 
obliquely, project outwards and on the back, and they are evi- 
dently destined to become the membranous expansions of the
