308 NOTES ox AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



abclomine maculatim viridi-nigro, hie illic (prsesertim antice) 

 aureo-pubescenti ; antennis obscuris ; pedibus Ifete viridibus, 

 tarsis supra cseruleis subtus testaceis ; spatiis omnibus 

 depressis (his laete viridibus) crebre subtilins granuloso-punc- 

 tulatis, spatiis ceteris (his viridi-nigris) plus minus fortiter 

 minus crebi'e punctulatis ; capite inter oculos valde concavo ; 

 prothorace canaliculato, qnam longiori dimidia parte latiori, 

 mox ante basin quam ad basin paullo latiori, illinc ad mar- 

 ginem anticum leviter angustato, lateribus fere rectis, margine 

 antico bisinuato, basi media leviter lobata, angulis posticis 

 sat acutis ; scutello parvo transverso longitudinaliter sulcato ; 

 elytris sat convexis (latitudine majori paullo pone medium 

 posita), obscure 5-costatis (sutura costata inclusa), costis 

 externis 3 interruptis, lateribus apicem versus fortiter 

 denticulatis. [Long. 10, lat. 3| lines. 



The anterior depressed space on the elytra is feebly defined and 

 may perhaps be best regarded as a single depression occupying 

 somewhat narrowly the external | of the base, running narrowly 

 round the shoulder and a little down the lateral margin and then 

 dilating somewhat behind the shoulder; it is however interrupted 

 in several places by the elytral costas and might be regarded as 

 several distinct spaces. The discal depressed space is well defined 

 and somewhat near circular ; its area is not much less than that 

 of the eye. The crook-shaped depression is placed immediately 

 within the 5th costa, — its head curving inwai'ds, cutting widely 

 through the 4th costa close to its apex, and reaching to the 3rd 

 costa ; its length is rather more than ^ the length of the whole 

 elytron and it does not very nearly attain the apex of the elytra. 

 The 3rd costa (counting from, and including, the suture) is 

 interrupted in front of its middle by the discal depressed space, 

 the 4th costa close to its apex by the crook-shaped depressed space 

 and the 5th close to its base by the post-humeral dilatation of the 

 basal depressed space. The underside is almost entirely occupied 

 by colouring and sculpture similar to those of the depressed 

 portions of the upper surface but there are some portions on the
