pressed stride on basal fifth; interstices 5-7 strongly convex, 

 ninth wide (wider than eighth), seriate-punctate; space between 

 eighth stria and margin very wide near apex; border narrowly 

 reflexed on sides, feeble on base near scutellum; apical truncature 

 sloping lightly obliquely forward from suture to extremity of 

 eighth interstice, then curving very lightly backwards to the 

 sharply marked external angle. Length 10*5, breadth 4*5 mm. 



Hab.—Q.: Townsville (Dodd). 



I have placed this species in ^arothrocrepis, at least pro- 

 visionally, on account of its evident affinities to that genus, 

 though it differs from all the other species by the punctures of 

 the third elytral interstice; the apical truncature of each elytron 

 dentate at outer and inner angle; the elytra with deeply im- 

 pressed stride; interstices 4-6 strongly convex near base, ninth 

 as wide as eighth; the abdomen setigero-punctate. It is also 

 isolated by its dark colour (elytra not widely margined with 

 yellow). 



Genus E u l e b i a . 



EULEBIA BICOLOR, n.Sp. 



Testaceous; elytra Avith a very broad dark blue fascia (almost 

 two-thirds of elytra) across middle from side to side; antennae 

 after third joint infuscate. 



Head nitid, minutely punctulate; eyes black, very prominent, 

 globular. Prothorax transverse, a little wider than head 

 (1x1-5 mm.); sides roundly narrowed anteriorly, oblique pos- 

 teriorly; base much wider than apex, truncate on each side of 

 peduncle, median part produced backwards, rounded; anterior 

 angles widely rounded; basal angles subrectangular, obtuse at 

 summit; lateral margins explanate, very wide posteriorly; two 

 marginal setigerous punctures on each side, anterior at widest 

 part, posterior on border at basal angle. Elytra wide (4 x 2 •9mm.), 

 finely striate; interstices a little convex, shagreened, minutely 

 punctulate, first with a fine striole at base, third 3-punctate, 

 anterior puncture just outside anterior margin of blue part, 

 second at its posterior margin, third at apex of interstice; blue
