 An extremely elongate species resembling C. ^:)e7'/o^i^ws in 

 general form, but with a small strongly convex prothorax more 

 like that of C. Icevicollis, Blessig. The prothorax is very nitid 

 and distinctly (though quite faintly) iaipressed with very sparse 

 punctures. The seriate puncturation of the elytra is very like 

 that in C. ciipripennis, Blackb., the puncturation of the interstices 

 being a little finer and less close than in that species, but still 

 quite distinct. The eyes so nearly meeting that they are sepa- 

 rated by an interval narrower than the length of the 2nd joint of 

 the antennse is a character that distinguishes this insect from 

 nearly all its congeners.

This species (the type of which I have had the advantage of 

 inspecting, through the courtesy of Mr. Masters) is identical 

 with an example from N. Queensland referred to by me under 

 the heading of G. obsciorus as possibly a local form of that insect, 

 but more probably a distinct species. I am now satisfied that it 

 is really distinct. It difters by its larger size (long. 7f, lat. 4 

 lines), its prothorax markedly more transverse (fully once and 

 three-quarters as wide as long), with sides less narrowed forward 

 in their basal half and surface distinctly punctulate, and by the 

 finer and closer punctures of its elytral series, which are not at all 

 loss fine and close than those of C. cu]:>ri2)ennis, Blackb.
