464 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN AMARYGMIDES, 



This species is no doubt nearly allied to C. murrayensis ; Vjut, 

 apart from other differences, is easily distinguishable from it by 

 the quite different sculpture of the elytra. 



N.S. Wales; taken near Wellington by Mr. Froggatt. 



C. MACER, sp.nov. 



C. nnirrayensi affinis ; difFert forma magis elongata magis 

 parallela ; antennarum articulo 3*' qnara 4"^ 5"^que con- 

 juncti vix breviori ; prothorace magis sequaliter punctulato 

 (exempli typici ante scutellum distincte biimpresso), elytrorum 

 interstitiis subtilissime sparsim punctulatis. 



[Long. 7f, lat. 3^ lines. 

 Though very close to C. murrayensis, I feel no doubt this 

 insect is a good species, its much more elongate form and the 

 extremely minute puncturation of its elytral interstices being 

 characters that certainly seem to indicate more than a mere 

 variety. In the typical example the interstices of the elytra are 

 absolutely flat, and the colour is considerably difierent from that 

 of the type of murrayensis, the whole upper surface being of a 

 pure bright green tone, and requiring to be looked at from a 

 particular (oblique) point of view to bring out any purplish and 

 golden tints. 



S.A. ; Basin of Lake Eyre. 



C. OBLONGUS, sp.nov. 



Oblongus ; sat parallelus ; sat nitidus ; niger, supra versicolor, 

 prothorace cyaneo-purpureoque tincto, elytris coloribus laetis 

 (sc. viridi, aureo, purpureoque) vittatim ornatis ; C. murray- 

 ensi affinis; differt prothorace minus transverso, magis fortiter 

 et multo magis crebre punctulato, basi hand distincte lobata, 

 angulis posticis (superne visis) subacutis ; elytrorum punc- 

 turis seriatis minoribus interstitialibus multo majoribus (his 

 cum illis subconfusis), interstitiis nullo modo convexis ; 

 corpore subtus magis distincte punctulato.
