The three known species of Eulehia are before me; they may-

Elytra bicolorous on disc. Testaceous with four inner

Elytra unieolorous— brownish E. jjicijieniiis Ma:Gl.

Genus COPTODERA. 



Eucalyptocola Macleay. 

 The three Austialian species of Coptodera may be tabulated as

Prothorax with lateral margins wide. 



Elytra piceous-black, with a narrow zigzag, or 

 V-shaped ferruginous fascia on posterior half, 

 sometimes with also a faint discal macula on 



each elytron injront of the fascia C. aiistralis Chaud. 



Elytra piceous-black, with an intricate pattern in the 

 form of two broken zigzag transverse testaceous 



fasciae C. mastersi Macl. 



Prothorax with lateral margins narrow... C. marcida Blackb.

I have determined Phihphloeus duhius Macl., by examination 

 of the type in the Australian Museum, and, after comparing
