j)unetures and striae eontinuous to, but becoming finer at, the apex; under a 

 lens the slightly convex intervals seen to be closely, verj' finely, punctate. 

 Dimensions : 10 x 4 miu. 



7/0.6.— North Queensland. (Mr. H. Dodd). 



A single example is in size and form not unlike the former (C. scutellaris) , 

 but clearly distinct in its striate elytra, larger seriate punctures and red legs. It 

 is quite unlike any of the other red-legged species. Type in Coll. Carter. 



Amabygmus metalliceps, n. sp. 



Elongate elliptic, convex, whole upper surface (including head) brilliantly 

 metallic, the prevailing tints being head green, pronotum purplish, elytra green 

 with iridescent purple gleams, golden at suture; underside and legs black, tarsal 

 clothing dark. 



Head clearly, uniformly jiuuctate, eyes widely separated by a space of the 

 diameter of one eye; antennae with joint 3 scarcely longer than 4; joints 4-7 

 subeijual in length, slightly widening outwards, other joints wanting. 



Prothorax short, transverse, sides straight, narrowing from base to apex, 

 posterior angles acute (from above) ; disc finely and closely punctate. 



S'cutellum punctate. 



Elytra a little wider than prothorax at base; seriate-punctate, seriate punc- 

 tures close, round and regiilar (somewhat as in C. purpureufi Germ, but smaller) ; 

 intervals flat, finely and closely punctate. Dimensions : 7-9 x 3J-4 mm. 



Hah. — W. Australia: Cue (H. W. Brown); South Australia: Tareoola and 

 Cleve. 



Three examples, one from each of the above localities, are, I think, con- 

 specific, though the Cue example (the type) has rather finer seriate punctures, 

 and the Cleve example has its lateral elytral intei-vals sub-convex. Type in Coll. 

 Carter. 



N.B. — Amarygmus tarsali.i Pasc. has been lately identified (by comparison 

 with type) from Wauchope and Munanbang, N.S. Wales. 



CISTELIDAE. 



Chromomoea mastersi Mael. This is a good species, quite distinct from C. 

 deplanchei Fauv., though given as a variety of tliat species in my Revision (Proc. 

 Roy. Soc. Vict., 1915, p. (in). 



Tiie following differences may be noted : — 



C. deplanchei. C. mastersi. 



Antennae . Black, joints 4-9 pear-shaped, Basal joints (at least) yellow or red; joints 

 successively increasing, 10 4-10 linear, 7-10 gradually thinner but of 

 similar but smaller; 11 finely equal length, 11 about J length of 10. 

 pointed. 

 Prothorax . As wide as long. Longer than wide. 



Elytra. Intervals flatter. Intervals more convex and punctulose. 



Legs. Black. Red. 



C. mastersi is not uncommon near Sydney. I have beaten it from Casuarina 

 foliage, and besides the types from Gayudah, there are in the Australian Museum 

 examples from Bombala, N.S.W., and N. Queensland. 



Chromomoea tibialis, n. sp. 



Elongate, glabrous; head, elytra, underside and appendages pale red; pro- 

 thorax reddish, with medial area slightly iufuscate.
