Hah. — Swan River. 



I have given Mr. Hope's description in full, not that I regard it 

 as by any means a satisfactory description, but because I may be 

 wrong in giving Mr. Hope's name to the insect described below, 

 but which I think must be identical with it. 



Very broadly ovate, black, sub-opaque. Head very minutely 

 punctate, eyes very transverse, approximate. Clypeus very broadly 

 and lightly emai'ginate. Thorax transverse, very broadly mar- 

 gined, the margins reddish, largely hollowed out and reflected, and 

 minutely rugose punctate, the anterior angles very broadly rounded 

 and crossing one another in front of the head, the right one upper- 

 most; the disk small, convex, uneven, with the median line rising 

 in a short carina near the apex and into a large conical headed 

 tubercle near the base. 



Elytra as broad or slightly broader than the thorax at the base, 

 the margins very broad, flattened out and much reflected on the 

 borders, reddish and diaphanous with some strong scattered punc- 

 tures, the disk convex, carinate on the suture, irregularly and some, 

 what obliterately rugosely punctate, with on each elytron six rows 

 of more or less distant small granules, the row next the suture 

 most closely continuous. Body beneath and legs opaque brown 

 and densely punctate.
