420 CARABID.E FROM TROPICAL AUSTRALIA^ 



cannot he E. froggatti Macl., (unknown to me in nature), because 

 the elytra are not " minutely punctate on the interstices." 



EUDALIA BRUNNEIPENNIS, n.Sp. 



Elongate, convex, glabrous. Head convex, roundly obliquely 

 but not strongly narrowed behind eyes : prothorax narrow, 

 punctate: pro-episterna i-oundly swollen and visible from above: 

 elytra oval, punctate-striate: interstices nitid, depressed on disc, 

 third 3-punctate, Head and prothorax black: elytra and under- 

 surface of body brown: legs, antenna^, and palpi ferruginous, 

 mouth-parts reddish. 



Head elongate (1-3 mm. across eyes), obliquely narrowed 

 behind eyes, convex, impunctate, nitid; eves prominent, shortly 

 rounded in front, obliquely roiinded behind. Prothorax as long 

 as broad (1-3 x l-3mm.), convex, lightly lounded on sides, roundly 

 and decidedly angustate to apex, lightly narrowed to base: pro- 

 notum glabrous, convex, punctate— an impunctate space on each 

 side anteriorly: apex truncate: anterior angles touching liead: 

 base truncate: basal angles marked, obtuse: lateral channel nar- 

 row: lateral border hardly arcuate at widest part, lightly oblique 

 to base, strongly roundly curved to apex, terminating at anterior 

 angle. Eh^tra oval (4 x 2-7 mm.), convex, declivous to base: 

 striae well marked : interstices subconvex, third 3-punctate. 

 Undersurface of head and body impunctate, of prothorax punc- 

 tate. Length, 7 2: breadth, 2-7 mm. 



llah. — Queensland: Kuranda ( Dodd): two specimens: type in 

 Coll. 81oane. 



Dijffers from all others by the brown colour of the elytra. In 

 the form of its head and prothorax, it resembles E. obliquiceps 

 SI., but the absence of punctu ration on the upper and lower 

 surfaces of the head, on the mesosternum and metasternum, and 

 the basal part of the abdt)men decidedly differentiate it from 

 that species, from which it differs also in colour, «fcc. 



EUDALIA NITIDA, n.Sp. 



Oval. Head glabrous, impunctate, wide, shortly and strongly 

 constricted behind eyes : prothorax narrow, subcordate, lightly 

 ampliate on sides, impunctate except near margins: pro-episterna
