42 ON THE LIFE-HISTORIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA. 



The larva lives under damp logs, moving about very quickly 

 when disturbed, and casting its skin very frequently ; after 

 moulting it is quite white, but soon regains its natural colour. 



The beetle is found on the foliage of young Eucalypts ; it is the 

 common Lagria about Sydney ; it is light reddish-brown, very 

 closely covered with fine confluent punctures and a scattered 

 growth of short brown hairs.
