angle, the posterior on apical third just at beginning of apical 

 declivity about midway between sutui-e and margin ; two punc- 

 tures on base of each elytron near shoulder ; a row of widely- 

 placed punctures along margin. Prosternum strongly impressed 

 between coxae. Legs light ; anterior tibiae bidentate ; apical 

 plate shortly but decidedly produced at apex below tarsus. 



Length 14-5, breadth 5 mm. 



Hab. — Lower Murray. (Sent to me by Mr. C. French, as 

 coming from the Lower Murray — Mildura or Wentworth 

 District). 



This beautiful little species is allied to C. anthracinum, Macl.; 

 its affinity being to C. cyanijyenne, Macl., from which its wider 

 form, and the elytra entirely of a beautiful metallic purple, with 

 liluish reflections, readily distinguish it. 



EuTOMA vmiDicoLOK, n.sp. 



Robust, elongate, cylindrical ; head large, the suborbital channel 

 short, divided into two equal parts by a wide convex ridge ; pro- 

 thorax hardly broader than long, anterior angles projecting ; 

 elytra convex, emarginate between humeral angles, 4-punctate, 

 l)oi'der thick, inflexed margin narrow behind first ventral segment. 



Head black in front, greenish behind for about as far forward 

 as the eyes ; prothorax green, a narrow space along anterior margin 

 black ; elytra green, shining, the thick border black, inflexed part 

 blackish-green ; under parts of prothorax black with the anterior 

 part green towards the sides ; underparts of body and legs black ; 

 third, fourth, and fifth ventral segments with green reflections. 

 Head large (4-2 x 5-6 mm.), convex ; frontal sulci deep, strongly 

 divergent backwards, turning sharply out in front in a faintl}- 

 marked course not attaining anterior margin ; a strong fo^eiform 

 puncture on each side near their out-turned anterior course ; 

 clypeus very feebly trisinuate Ijetween lateral teeth ; pre-ocular 

 sulcus narrow, well-marked, continued backwards above eye ; pre- 

 ocular process large, rounded externally ; eyes deeply sunk in 

 orbits, not prominent. Mandibles short. Antennae moniliform,
