entirely with Mf. Pascoe's description and lie received his speci- 

 mens from Mr. Masters, might almost be regarded as co-types. 

 They measure 4 mm.; two specimens from Sydney and Tamworth 

 are much smaller (2^ mm.), but I cannot find any other difference 

 between them. Mr. Pascoe omitted to give the length in his 

 description. 



Euops viCTORiENSis, Blackb. — This species can be readily dis- 

 tinguished by its elytral puncturation. I have specimens from 

 Clifton, N.S.W. ; the male has the anterior tibife much as in 

 U. falcata. 



Euops suturalis, n.sp. 



5. Head greenish-black, apex of rostrum suffused with red ; 

 prothorax red, base and apex narrowly infuscate; elytra of a 

 rather paler red than prothorax; scutellum, a subquadrate patch 

 about it and the suture black, apex slightly infuscate; mesosternum 

 and pygidium violet-black; metasternum and aljdomen metallic- 

 green; legs green, base of femora, two basal Joints of tarsi and 

 the tibiae more or less red. 



Head densely and strongly punctate, at base finely transversely 

 corrugate. Rostrum short, broad, finely punctate. Eyes separated 

 by a thin shining carina. Prothorax transverse, sides rounded, 

 apex slightly narrower than base, a strong transverse impression 

 at base, a moderately strong one across disc, and a feeble one at 

 apex ; moderately strongly and not very densely punctate. 

 Scutellum small, subquadrate, impunctate, highly polished. Elytra 

 not much longer than wide, shoulders prominent, rather suddenly 

 narrowed behind them; striate-punctate, punctures rather strong 

 and subcontiguous, with a short distinct scutellar stria; interstices 

 wider than punctures, convex, scarcely visibly punctate. Sterna 

 and i:>ygidiuin densely and strongl}", ahdomen finely punctate. 

 Legs rather short; anterior tibia; sinuous, no longer than femora. 

 Length 2|, width li mm. 



^a6.— balmorton, N.S.W. 



Differs from the 9 of falcata in its subcontiguous eyes, short 

 robust form, more convex elytra, finer puncturation, itc; in build
