side of basal curve, thicker and less reflexed on basal lobe; median 

 line strongly impressed; a wide shallow impression near each basal 

 sinuosity. Elytra of same width as prothorax (11 x 5-9 mm.), sub- 

 parallel, very gently and roundly narrowed to base, flattened on 

 disc near suture, strongly declivous to peduncle and to border at 

 humeral angles; border narrow; four or five punctures on base of 

 each elytron not placed in a depression; submarginal row of 

 punctures close together at humeral angles, more distant (but not 

 widely placed) on sides. Length 20, breadth 5-9 mm. 



Hah. — Q. : Winton District (Colls. French and Sloane; sent to 

 me by Mr. C. French) 



If the subgenus Coyiopterinn be recognised, C. jnirp^iratwm 

 would come into it; in facies it resembles C. bicorrtutum, Macl., 

 with the type of which I have compared it, and from which it 

 differs conspicuously by the quadripunctate elytra, and by the 

 form of the clypeus — in C. hicornutum the right intermediate 

 angle of the clypeus is developed into a strong erect horn. C 

 2)nrpnratum is allied to C. inodestuiii, SI., but differs by its 

 violaceous colour; narrower form; head more convex, postocular 

 part of orbits rising sharply and obliquel}^ from head; prothorax 

 more flattened on disc, less rounded on sides, with sinuosities of 

 basal curve stronger; elytra flatter on disc and narrower, humeral 

 curve less strongly rounded, apical declivity more abrupt and 

 without a deep longitudinal channel along suture, lateral punc- 

 tures more closely placed at humeral angles, &c. In C. inirpura- 

 ium and G. moflestutn. the antennal scrobes are deep and narrow, 

 with a strongly developed ridge on upper side; the space between 

 this ridge and the eye is strongly concave.

In 1887 Mr. Blackburn described a large Carenid as Eurygna- 

 thus forti s; subsequently finding Enrygaalhus already in use, he 

 altered it to Kpilectus^ but this name is too near Epilecta used
