of head) to meet the cantluis, anterior angles subrectangular, 

 sides widely rounded, then strongly sinuate before the acute, 

 slightly deflexed posterior angles; widest at middle, base strongly 

 bisinuate, disc and foliation closely granulose, without raised 

 border, a transverse depression just behind the apex. Scutellum 

 small, curvilinear-triangular. Elytra ovate, wider than prothorax 

 at base, shoulders pronounced and obtuse, each elytron with 9 

 rows (including the sutural row) of small raised shining nodules, 

 the sutural, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th consisting of double rows, the 

 alternate costse consisting of single lines of similar nodules; inter- 

 spaces uneven (under a Zeiss binocular seen to be obscure rows 

 of shallow foveate depressions). Underside finely rugose, fore- 

 femora tumid, fore-tibise enlarged at apex and clothed with short 

 bristles, middle and hind tibiae not enlarged at apex. Dimen- 

 sions, 8 "5 X 4*5 mm.

A single ^, in the Melbourne Museum, is a close ally of G. 

 costipenne mihi in its elytral sculpture, but differs from it in 

 (1) larger size, (2) absence of vitreous spots, and hairy clothing, 

 (3) foliation of prothorax, horizontal throughout, with anterior 

 angles rather sharply rectangular. Type in National Museum, 

 Melbourne. 



Gonocephalum costatum Cart. — In describing this species 

 (Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Austr., 1914, p. 222), I overlooked the pre- 

 occupation of this name for a European species {G, costatutn 

 Brll.). I therefore propose the name costipenne for my species. 



G. Meyricki Blackb, = (3^. victorice Blackb. — I have examined 

 cotypes of these in the South Australian Museum, and can find 

 no valid distinction. 



IHtcena pulchra Bates. — In my tabulation of the genus (Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. N. 8. Wales, 1915, p. 102) I omitted this species. It 

 would come in this table after T tyrrhena mihi, from which it 

 can readily be distinguished by size alone, 7 mm. long.
