lateral border without interruption; strite strongly impressed;

The description given is founded on a specimen given to me by 

 Mr. C. French which I compared with a specimen in the Howitt 

 Collection ticketed Feronia gippsiensis, Casteln., and found iden- 

 tical. Specimens (9) taken by me at Marysville, Victoria, have 

 a very faint metallic tinge on the prothorax, and seem conspecific 

 with A^. s.atrapa of Chaudoir's Supplement, but are evidentl}^ not 

 the iV. satrapa of Castelnau.
