94 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN AMARYGMIDES, 



front tibiae are somewhat arched and decidedly thickened near the 

 apex ; its hind tibiae are rather strongly flexuous.

 capite prothorace elytrisque (minus laete) versicoloribus, 

 seneis certo adspectu viridi- et purpureo-tinctis (exemplorum 

 plurimornm sutura obscure purpurea); capite crebre aequaliter 

 sat subtiliter punctulato ; clypeo minus elongato, a f lonte

[Long. 4J-6, lat. 14-2^ lines. 

 A narrow elongate species with elytral puncturation much 

 resembling that of Clialcopterus variabilis, Blessig, the interval 

 between the eyes very little less wide than in C. cuprijjenuis, the 

 front tibiae of the male arched and having their apical portion 

 moderately dilated. It is I think the commonest and most widely 

 distributed spt-cies of the genus. The striation of the elytra is 

 very indistinct, in some examples scarcely traceable. 

 South Australia, Victoria, and N. S. Wales.
