434 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN AMARYGMIDES, 



versus sat incrassatis, articulo 3" quam 1"^ 2"^que conjuncti 



sat longiori quam 4^^^ 5"^que conjuncti parum breviori, 



articulis 8-10 quam prsecedentes (3° excepto) nullo modo 



brevioribus ; prothorace quam longiori (et postice quam 



antice) duabus partibus latiori, obsolete (latera versus vix 



manifeste) sat crebre punctulato, antice fere truncato, cetei'a 



ut G. clypealis ; elytris seriatim sat sequaliter sat fortiter 



(postice magis subtiliter) punctulatis, interstitiis planis 



sparsim vix manifeste punctulatis ; prosterno baud sulcato ; 



corpore subtus toto Icevigato, abdomine baud strigoso ; 



femoribus sublsevigatis, tibiis sparsim punctulatis ; tarsis 



subtus nigro-setosis. [Long. 6, lat. 3 lines. 



The prothorax is comparatively small (its width is to the elytra 



as 5 to 8) ; its width only exceeding the length by about | of the 



latter furnishes a good distinction from many species. The 



punctures of the elytral series are much larger than those of 



ctcpripennis, and scarcely so large as those in the juxta-sutural 



series in jjunctipennis, Macl. ; they ai'e rather closely placed in 



the seizes. The interstices (as in the preceding 3 species) are 



absolutely flat throughout. This species bears considerable 



resemblance to the insect which I take to be C. ccelestis, Pasc, 



but differs by its bluish-green and by no means impunctate 



prothorax, its much stouter antennae, eyes much less approximate, 



and not bordered within by sulci, &c. An example from 



Thursday Island has elytra more purplish in colour. 



N. Queensland ; also Thursday Island.

 aureo-micanti, elytris leete versicoloribus (coloribus aureis 

 purpureis viridibusque ornatis) ; capite crebre sat sequaliter
