1258 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



testaceis, elytris flavo- 3-fasciatis (fascia 1 basali sat angusta, 

 2* latiori sola suturam aclmodum attingenti paullo ante medium, 

 3** sat angusta ab apice sat procul) et macula elongata sanguinea 

 subapicali ornatis, lateribus quoque maculatim sanguineis ; corpore 

 subtus latera versus argenteo-pubescenti ; capite (hoc sat convexo) 

 prothorace et corpore subtus (abdomine vix ruguloso excepto) 

 crebre rugulose punctulatis ; elytris fortiter striatis, striis subtilius 

 punctulatis, interstitiis sat convexis sparsim sat fortiter punctu- 

 latis ; antennis tarsisque viridibus vel cyaneis. 



[Long. 7-8, lat. 3-31 lines. 



The prothorax across the base is distinctly less than three times 

 as wide as the length from its apical margin to the front of the 

 projecting elytral lobes, and is not quite twice as wide across the 

 base as in front. Each elytron is spined at the apex scarcely 

 differently from those of the preceding species, but the elytra 

 begin to diverge further from their apex, so that the sutural 

 spines are more widely separated. The 6th stria meets the 

 sutural stria at its apex enclosing the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. 

 The sanguineous portions of the lateral margins are identical with 

 the lateral margins of the fasciae, with the addition of that portion 

 of the lateral margin which lies between the basal and ante- 

 median fasciae. All the femora and tibia? are testaceous (with a 

 coppery gloss) in one of the examples before me, in the other 

 example all the knees and the hind femora are suffused with an 

 feneous tone that obscures the testaceous appearance. The sides 

 of the elytra are somewhat concave behind the shoulders, bulging 

 out again slightly to about the middle, whence they are gradually 

 convergent to the apex.

 by Mr. J. G. 0. Tepper at Monarto on Eucalyptus flowers.
