Hah. — Tambourine Mountain, South Queensland (H. Hacker). 



Two specimens, kindly sent by Mr. Hacker, evidently differ from 

 0. tenuitarsis Pasc, in the smaller size, coloured thorax and head, 

 with much sharper and more produced front angles, more convex 

 elytra. Type in the Author's Coll. 



Prophanes Browni, n.sp. 



Elongate-ovate, navicular; coppery-bronze above and beneatli, 

 pronotum and scutellum more nitid copper, legs nitid-black, an-

 red hairs.

 sides, subobsolete in the middle, canthus short and raised, eyes very 

 large, prominent, and approximate, the separating lamina not 

 wider than in Anausis metallescens Westw., but rapidly widening 

 each way; antennae extending beyond the base of prothorax, slen- 

 der at base, moderately enlarged apically, joint 3 cylindric, not 

 as long as 4-5 combined, 4-7 subequal in length, successively wider,
