462 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN AMARYGMIDES, 



interstitiis subtiliter minus crebre punctulatis ; prosterno 

 medio antice carinato ; metasterno fere impunctato ; abdo- 

 mine sparsim subtilissime punctulato et sparsim subtiliter 

 rugato ; femoribus anticis antice sparsim subtiliter punctu- 

 latis ; tarsis subtus nigro-piceo-setosis, posticorum articulo 

 basali ceteris conjunctis longitudine aequali. 



[Long. 5J-6^, lat. 3-3^ lines. 

 A general resemblance in colour, size, and elytral striation 

 seems to associate this species superficially with C. mercurius, 

 with which it might be supposed identical until carefully examined ; 

 it is, however, very widely different from it in reality, being 

 distinguished by the puncturation of its head, the presence of 

 ocular sulci, the much less convexity and much stronger 

 puncturation of its prothorax, the puncturation of its elytral 

 interstices, the obscure vestiture of its tarsi, the much longer 

 basal joint of its hind tarsi, &c., &c. The typical example has 

 the elytra very decidedly striate, with the interstices rather 

 strongly convex ; I refer to the same species another example 

 of the habitat of which I am uncertain, which seems to differ 

 from the type only by the less marked striation and less convex 

 interstices of its elytra.
