Stkthomela rufimana, n.sp. 



Reddish-castaneous, basal joints of anteniiJE paler, the others 

 infuscated, elytra dark metallic coppery-green; legs black, except 

 tarsi and coxae. 



Head with fairly dense but rather small punctures, much the 

 same on clypeus as elsewhere, clypeal suture well-defined but not 

 deep. Antennae moderately long and thin, none of the joints 

 transverse. Prothorax more than thrice as wide as long, sides 

 gently rounded, front angles rather strongly produced, a shallow 

 depression on each side; with dense and rather small but well- 

 defined punctures, and with a few larger ones on base near sides. 

 Elytra at base slightly wider than prothorax, but otherwise with 

 outlines subcontinuous with same; with regular rows of rather 

 small punctures, interstices with numerous minute but well- 

 defined ones, a shallow depression behind each shoulder, in which 

 the seriate punctures are larger than elsewhere. Intercoxal 

 process of prosternuiu flat, its front obtuse and conspicuously 

 elevated above the adjacent parts. Claws bifid. Length, 7mm, 



Hah. — Queensland : Mount Tambourine ( H. J. Carter). 



Readily distinguished from S. limbata, S. caudata, and S. 

 pu7yureipennis by the dense prothoracic punctures, not larger 

 (except for a few at the base) on the sides than elsewhere; the 

 elytra also have numerous small ones on the interstices. The 

 prothorax is less convex in the middle than in any other species 

 known to me. 



Stethomela grandis, n.sp. 



Bright metallic coppery-green, appendages and labrum reddish. 



Head with numerous small punctures, but becoming coarse 

 and irregular between eyes, median line sharply impressed in 

 front, but feeble towards base; clypeus with dense punctures, 

 suture well defined, each end blocked by a subtuberculate eleva- 

 tion. Antennae rather long, none of the joints transverse, second 

 about half the length of third. Frotltorax feebly shagreened, 

 about thrice as wide as long, sides gently increasing in width 

 from base to apical third and then evenly rounded, but lightly 

 constricted at apex; with coarse and deep irregularly distributed
