striae, and with three rows of oblong spaces impressed on each 

 side but not at their apices or bases: epipleur^e rather finely and 

 obsoletely punctate. Under surface (except sides of head) 

 sparsely and obsoletely punctate. Four anterior tihm curved, 

 thickening to apex. Length 12, width 5 mm.

Allied to ocellata, Pascoe, and Mastersi, Macleay; from the 

 former it appears to differ in some colour details. Mr. Pascoe 

 describes the prothorax with margins paler than disc ; in my 

 specimen the reverse is the case; nor does he mention any 

 larger punctures on that segment ; he also says " elytra with 

 oblong impressed rings.'' The latter species is described as having 

 large punctures on the elytra. 



C. DEPLANATA, Boisd. Hob. — -Tasmania. 



EcTYCHE scuLPTURATA, Bates. — I doubtfully refer numerous 

 specimens from Swan River to this species; they are variable as 

 regards size and width, but none of them are of the size ascribed 

 by Pascoe to erebea, with which in other respects they agree very 

 well.

E. CCERULEA, Champ.; (co-type). 



MiCRECTYCHE FERRUGi^TEA, Bates. — -An abundant species about 

 the Swan River. I have also taken it at Newcastle, and at 

 Rottnest and Garden Islands. It is common under logs and 

 bark, and I have often seen it about the roots of dead grass, ifec. 

 The colour is somewhat variable ; some specimens are almost 

 wholly piceous. 



MiCRECTYCHE INTERMEDIA, Bates. —I refer specimens from 

 Pelsart Island to this species; they are smaller and much darker 

 than the generality of specimens of the preceding species.
