130 MISCELLANEA ENTOMOLOGICA, NO. III. 



that of the last species but more broadly margined. The elyti'a are 

 as broad as the thorax at the base and narrowed to the apex, with a 

 strong impressed puncture near the base, and another near the 

 apex, both about equidistant from the sides and suture, two or 

 three punctures on the base and a distant row of them on the 

 sides. 



A longitudinal slit on the prosternum. 



Length, 1 2 lines. 



Hah. — Richmond River (Coll. Masters). 



EUTOMA PUNCTULATUM, n. sp. 



Black, nitid, the margins of the thorax and elytra violet. 

 Head as broad as the thorax, the frontal canals deep and 

 diverging behind, the clypeus with two small projecting teeth in 

 the middle, the space between emarginate, and a larger tooth on 

 each side bounding the labrum which is short, bi'oad, and deeply 

 punctured. Thorax much longer than wide, truncate at the apex, 

 and rounded at the posterior angles, with the median line rising a 

 little distance from the apex in a distinct puncture. Elytra 

 thrice the length of the width, narrower than the thorax at the 

 base, and gradually widening a little to the apex, with a large 

 puncture about 1/5 from the apex, a fovea with 3 or 4 punctures 

 on the base near the humeral angle and a single puncture near the 

 suture, and a distant row of punctures on the lateral margin ; 

 very obsolete largish punctures in rows are discernible on the disk. 



Length, 8 lines. 



Hah. — Dawson River. 



EuTOMA MAGNIFICUM, n. Sp. 



Entirely of a brilliant violet-blue above, black beneath. Head 

 as in E. punctulatum. Thorax scarcely longer than the width, 

 with the anterior angles slightly prominent, otherwise like 

 punctulatum. Elytra less elongate, flatter than in jjunctulatum,
