longed forwcard in the scutellary region. Sternum and epipleurse 

 deeply and coarsely punctulate. Abdomen coppery and more 

 finel}^ punctulate. All tibiae slightly bowed and attenuated. 

 Dimensions — 8 x 3*1 mm. 



H<ih. — Moruya, N.S.W. and Victorian Alps. 



Two specimens sent by Mr. G. Cheesman, after whom I name 

 this insect. In general appearance it is somewhat like a small 

 Addium reductum Pasc, but the elytral intervals are much flatter. 

 A third specimen has since been taken by the author in the 



Victorian Alps. 



Brycopia femorata, n.sp. 



Elongate-elliptic, rather narrow, bronze above, black beneath, 

 the whole very nitid; antennae, palpi, labrum, knees and tibiee 

 red, tarsi pale red, apical parts of femora, except knees, pale yellow. 



Head rather narrow, labrum emarginate and rounded at apex, 

 epistoma distinct and lound, limited by a furrow, concave (from 

 front view), forehead grooved between the eyes, and, together 

 with epistoma, finely punctulate, eyes large, not so prominent as 

 in B. tiihercidifera Champ., antennae extending to the base of 

 prothorax, slightly thickening outwardly, apical joint longest and 

 a little wider than tenth, ovoid. Protliorax subquadrate, convex, 

 a little broader than long, subtruncate at apex, bisinuate at base, 

 sides a little rounded anteriorly, gently and evenly converging 

 behind; greatest width near front angles, these obtusely rounded 

 and deflected; hind angles subrectangular; disc finely and closely 

 punctured, without any indication of central line, with a few 

 setiferous impressions, of which two can be seen on margin at 

 each side, two evenly placed a little in front of centre. Smitellum 

 small and semicircular. Elytra wider than, and about two and 

 one-quarter times as long as prothorax, narrowly elongate-oval, 

 punctate-striate, with about ten rows of small, closely approximate 

 punctures placed in fine strife, the intervals flat, closely dotted 

 with punctures distinctly smaller than those in strife, and with 

 about ten larger setiferous punctures promiscuously scattered 

 thereon. (In the type-specimen there are six more regular than 

 the rest, three each on the third interval.) Underside finely
