644 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



EuLiNA CuRTisi, Baly. — This species was described from an 

 unique and possibly very old specimen. I have very little doubt 

 but that I have it, supposing the type specimen to have been dis- 

 coloured with age. Mr. Baly describes the antennae as " black"; 

 in the majority of my specimens they are dull testaceous, the 

 apex of each sometimes fuscous; the vertex is sometimes fuscous, 

 but usually concolorous with the rest of the head. The protho- 

 racic blotch is variable in size and shape, and if I recollect aright 

 is more pronounced after than before death. Baly says: "Beneath 

 fulvous, sides of the pleurae narrowly marked with black. Legs 

 yellow, knees and tarsi black." M}^ specimens agree with this, 

 except that the under surface could scarcely be called fulvous, 

 though in some it is darker than in others. 



Hab. — Sydney, Clarence River, N.S.W. (on Clematis sp.). 



EULINA VITTATA, n.sp. 



Elongate, subparallel, convex, glabrous, with a metallic lustre. 

 Head obscure testaceous, with or without a dull brown blotch on 

 vertex; antennae testaceous, base of 1st joint, apex of 3rd, and 

 following joints dark brown. Prothorax obscurely dark testaceous, 

 disc darker, margins metallic-blue. Elytra blackish-brown, with 

 numerous longitudinal pale yellowish vittte, forming three 

 irregular fascias — one at base, one just behind middle, and one 

 near apex; the vittse are far more numerous at sides than near 

 suture, and each appears distinct on account of the punctures 

 separating them being brown; they are of various lengths and 

 dijffer among individuals. Under surface brownish, slightly 

 metallic Legs pale yellow; a spot in middle of femora and basal 

 half of tibial brown, tarsi pale yellowish-red. 



Head feebly punctate on vertexi densely and rather coarsely 

 between eyes ; a deep longitudinal impression between eyes ; 

 clypeus marked by a semicircular impression less regular than in 

 Curtisi; antennae passing posterior femora. Prothorax widely 

 transverse, coarsely and irregularly punctate, except in middle, 

 which is smooth; a somewhat semicircular impression on each
