 and narrower elytra. 



Hah. — Gosford, Sydney, Galston. 



Yery similar in colour to the preceding, differing in having 

 narrower ventral segments, and in the colour of the two apical 

 ones; it is besides much smaller in size. 



Carphurus latipennis, n.sp. 



(J. Rather broad, slightly convex, shining. Head black; muzzle 

 testaceous, antennae black, four basal joints and undersurface of 

 fifth testaceous; prothorax reddish-testaceous; scutellum black; 

 elytra dark coppery green; abdominal segments black, narrowly 

 margined — except apical — with testaceous; legs testaceous, four 

 posterior cox^e and trochantins blackish, femora with more or less 

 black, the intermediate almost encircled near apex. Covered all 

 over — densest on abdomen — with long blackish hair, elytra and 

 sterna in addition with rather short whitish pubescence. Head, 

 prothorax and scutellum sparsely and minutely, elytra densely,

 distinctly but minutely, abdomen very minutely punctate. 



Head large, strongly transverse (excluding the mandibles); 

 eyes large, not at all prominent, the sides behind them almost 

 parallel; a semicircular impression between the eyes, the horns of 

 which terminate close to the clypeus and bases of antennse; near 

 the base a very shallow impression (invisible from some direc- 

 tions); antenna3 slender, reaching intermediate cox?e, joints sub- 

 cylindric, gradually narrowing, 1st as long as 2nd-3rd combined, 

 2nd not as long as 3rd, 3rd-7th subequal, 8th-llth perceptibly 

 increasing in length; undersurface of head faintly corrugated; two 

 small elongate fove^e in the middle, the space between them dis- 

 tinctly corrugated. Prothorax slightly longer than wide, sub- 

 quadrate, angles feebly rounded, wider than head across eyes; 

 a shallow irregular impression at base, traces of another at apex; 

 apex distinctly emarginate, base feebly margined and very feebly
