From C. pj'osternalis, it differs in its less uniform colours, and 

 absence of shagreening from the upper surface, the colours being 

 very different from those of C. imperialism and it is distinctly 

 narrower than that species. In general appearance, it is close 

 to Chrysoniela australica, but all the claws are conspicuously 

 armed. The punctures generally have a conspicuous greenish 

 gloss, so that, in some lights, the elytra appear to be alternately 

 irregularly striped with green (the series of punctures), and 

 brassy or brassy-blue (the interstices). 



Calomela subtuberculata, n.sp. 



Dark metallic greei), in places with a purplish or bronzy gloss, 

 undersurface blackish, with a bluish gloss, antennae (apical half 

 infuscated), palpi, and labrum of a dingy red, legs darker, with 

 a metallic gloss. 



Head with crowded and fairly large punctures; clypeus de- 

 pressed, with smaller and denser punctures than elsewhere. 

 Antennae comparatively long and thin. Prothorax almost thrice 

 as wide as median length, sides rather strongly rounded, with 

 large (larger on sides than elsewhere) and irregularly distributed 

 punctures, and with minute scattered ones. Elytra elongate; 

 with rather dense punctures, smaller about suture, and larger 

 towards sides than elsewhere. Prosteruum with coarse punctures 

 in front, towards each side with conspicuous, transverse, and 

 oblique impressions, and with a deep curved one; intercoxal pro- 

 cess grooved and punctate along middle, base notched. Claws 

 strongly and acutely dentate. Length, 9| mm.

At a glance like a rather dull specimen of C. imperialis, but 

 with much coarser punctures, and ""the elytral ones not in almost 

 perfectly regular series as on that species; on most species in 

 which the elytral punctures are in series, these are usually eleven 

 in number and well-detined, but, on the present species, the series 

 (except near the suture) are but little in evidence, and certainly 

 many more than eleven in number; the apical parts, in some
