102 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



Smaller and more parallel than H. Bakewelli, Pasc, and 

 differently coloured ; its prothorax is much less rounded laterally, 

 with the sides not at all sinuate behind, the front angles more 

 prominent and the hind angles less acute ; its elytral strise are much 

 more closely and less coarsely punctulate and their interstices are 

 almost flat.

Hyocis variegata, sp.nov. 



Opaca ; piceo-ferruginea, prothoracis lateribus elytrorum plagis 

 et pedibus dilutioiibus ; prothorace fortiter transverse, leviter 

 canaliculato, lateribus minus arcuatis postice haud sinuatis, 

 angulis anticis prominulis posticis rectis, basi sat late lobata ; 

 elytris punctalato-striatis, puncturis in striis magnis quad- 

 ratis (subclathratis), interstitiis angustis subelevatis.

The markings on the elytra consist of a bright testaceous spot 

 on either side of the suture ; behind the middle a less conspicuous 

 mark a little nearer the apex (the part of the elytra bearing 

 these pale marks being darker than the rest of the surface), and 

 an irregular inconspicuous patch commencing about the shoulder 

 somewhat paler than the general colour. The prothorax scarcely 

 differs from that of H. nigra, but the elytral sculpture is almost 

 as in H. Bakewelli, Pasc.

 ante basin rectis inter se parallelis), angulis anticis vix 

 productis posticis rectis, basi late lobata ; elytiis punctulato-
