102 REVISION OP THE AUSTRALIAN AMARYGMIDES, 



subcarinuliforniibus) vix manifeste punctulatis; prosierno 



medio sulcato ; corpore subtus vix perspicue punctulato :

Extremely like A. striatus, Macl., but differing from it by its 



smaller size, the dark blue colour of its elytra, its narrower form, 



slightly narrower interval between the eyes, more distinct punctu- 



ration of the prothorax, greater convexity of the elytral interstices 



behind, and decidedly more nitid appearance, especially on the 



undersurface which is quite brightly polished.

A. PiNGUis, sp.nov. 

 A. queenslandico valde affinis ; sat breviter ovalis (corporis 

 dimidio quam antennae sat breviori) ; oculis quam antennarum 

 articuli basalis longitudine sat multo magis inter se remotis ; 

 elytrorum inter strias interstitiis postice fortiter sat anguste 

 convexis (sat fortiter carinatis) ; cetera ut A. queenslandici.

 This species is another close ally of A. striatus, Macl., and still 

 closer of ^. queenslandicus. It is, however, clearly distinct from 

 both, being much smaller, with outline nearer that of striatus but 

 with the sides decidedly more rounded. In A. striatus the elytral 

 interstices are of almost even convexity throughout (only narrow- 

 ing somewhat near the apex), but in A. pingnis their convexity 

 becomes greater hindward so that in front they are gently convex 

 and somewhat wide, and behind change into a keel-like and much 

 narrower form. 



N, Queensland ; Endeavour R. ; sent by Mr. Masters. 



A. PERPLEXUS, sp.nov. 

 A. queenslandico valde affinis ; sat breviter ovalis (corporis 

 dimidio antennis longitudine sat aequali) ; elytris nigris ; 

 sulcis ocularibus sat manifestis ; prothoracis lateribus magis 

 rotundatis ; elytrorum interstitiis minus convexis.
