1004 ON A COLLECTION FROM NORFOLK ISLAND — INSECTA, 



This species appears to be more nearly allied to the Ceramese 

 Lasiodactylus stelidotoides^' than any other species, but its more 

 finely punctured and feebly emargiuate prothorax, pale-coloured legs, 

 and the different sculpture of its elytra will readily distinguish it. 



TROGOSITID^. 



* Leperina turbata. 



Leperina turbata, Pascoe, Journ. Entom. II. p. 29 (1863) ; 

 Olliff, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., X., p. 705 (1885). 



There is a single example of this species from Norfolk Island 

 in the Macleay Museum. 



LUCANID^. 



Lamprima aenea. 



Lethrus aenea, Fabr. ; Schreibers, Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., VI., 

 p. 185, pi. 20, fig. 1 (1802) ; Macleay, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., X., 

 p. 130 (1885). 



Of this species, which according to Mr. Macleay is peculiar to 

 the island, only female specimens were obtained. 



DYNASTID^. 



Chiroplatys lissus, n.sp. 



Elongate, castaneous, shining, very convex ; pi-othorax smooth, 

 finely margined at the sides ; elytra obscurely punctate-striate, 

 strongly punctured at the apex ; pygidium finely aciculate. 



Head finely rugulose in front, smooth behind ; clypeus with a 

 strongly reflexed margin. Antennae castaneous. Prothorax nearly 

 a third broader than long, slightly narrowed behind ; the anterior 

 margin and the sides reflexed ; the posterior angles rounded. 



*011iff. Entom., XVI., p. 99 (1SS.3). The wood-cut which accompanies the 

 description gives a very inadequate idea of the shape of the prothorax ; it 

 is too much narrowed in front, and the depth of the frontal emargination, 

 and the width of the margins are not sufficiently indicated. The left side 

 of the figure is tolerably accurate in outline,
