588 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



apex, 3rd stria with about six punctures above the average size; 

 interstices rather wide, flat, becoming sHghtly convex outwardly, 

 impunctate; epipleurse moderately strongly punctate at base, very 

 feebly so elsewhere. Under surface sparsely and minutely 

 punctate Four anterior tibue very feebly curved. Length 7, 

 width 2i mm. 



Hah. — Clarence River, N.S.W. 



Differs from the description of nitida, Pascoe, in being smaller, 

 differently coloured, prothorax more transverse, elytral interstices 

 not at all punctate, and apical joint of antennae shorter than two 

 preceding; from elata it appears to be still more distinct. In a 

 number of respects it appears to approach pallipes, Blackburn, but 

 that species is described as having the elytral interstices distinctly 

 punctate, and the colour and prothoracic punctures appear to 

 be different. I have two specimens, both males; the smaller 

 measures 5| mm. 



L. SYLVICOLA, Blkb.; (co-type). 



CORIPERA GEMINATA, n.sp. 



Dark bronze, shining, elytra with the discal margins diluted 

 with red, abdomen and antennaj dark brown, legs black, tibise 

 with a .slight brassy-green reflection, tarsi reddish. 



Head densely and finely punctate in front, coarser, sparser, and 

 more irregularly in middle; frontal impression sinuous. Antennae 

 extending to elytra, 3rd joint slightly shorter than 4th-5th com- 

 bined, 11th about once and one-half longer than 10th. Prothorax 

 about once and one-fourth wider than long; sides finely margined, 

 decreasing rather regularly towards base; apex strongly emarginate, 

 base truncate, but (owing to a depression on each side) appearing 

 sinuate; disc flattened, finely, not very densely and rather irregu- 

 larly punctate, and with rather numerous larger and shallow 

 punctures; from the centre of each of which a fine hair arises. 

 Scuiellum transversely triangular. Elijtra flattened, not much 

 wider than prothorax; finely and almost obsoletely punctate; each 

 with a sutural and three (one of which is marginal) geminate
