80 SUBFAMILIES CYPHALEINjE AND CNODALONlN^E, 



Hab. - Condamine River, Queensland; and New South Wales. 



A single specimen, £, in the Melbourne Museum( French Coll.). 

 I have seen also two specimens sent by Mr. Lea from the Ade- 

 laide Museum (one labelled Sydney), and one sent from the 

 British Museum. Its form is between /'. cyaneus Pasc, and P. 

 elongatulns MacL, (less gibbous than the former, and wider than 

 the latter). The head, thorax, and elytra are equally nitid and 

 brilliant. Type in the National Museum, Melbourne. 



Platyphanes quadrifoveatus, n.sp. 



Elongate, parallel; head and underside black, pronotum and 

 elytra olivaceous, nitid; legs and antennae brown, apical joints of 

 the latter and tarsi reddish. 



Head: labrum prominent, epistoma truncate, canthus raised, 

 rather square in front and parallel at the sides, limiting suture 

 scarcely evident; eyes large, scarcely free of the prothorax, 

 separated by a distance less than the transverse diameter of one 

 eye; closely and finely punctate; antennae not extending to base 

 of prothorax, joint 3 little longer than 4, 7-11 considerably and 

 successively widened, 8-10 wider than long, nearly round, 11 

 longer than wide. Prothorax 5 x 7| mm., length measured in 

 the middle, widest at middle, slightly convex, evenly arcuate at 

 apex, anterior angles acutely and dentately produced and reflexed, 

 sides sinuate behind angle, feebly rounded and narrowed behind, 

 posterior angle obtuse, with narrow raised border at sides and 

 apex, base bisinuate, disc with fine shallow punctures throughout, 

 and four large, almost circular foveate depressions at equal dis- 

 tances in a straight transverse line across the middle, one 

 (smaller) on each side near the margin, two (larger and deeper) 

 on middle of disc. Scutellum cordate, finely punctured. Elytra 

 elongate, parallel for the greater part, moderately convex, length 

 nearly twice the width, wider than prothorax at base, shoulders 

 round, not sinuate before the apex, narrowly and evenly margined 

 throughout ; striate-punctate, with ten rows of large, closely 

 placed punctures, intervals slightly convex and impunctate, the 

 last row (on sides) containing the largest punctures, those in the 

 sixth and ninth rows somewhat confused, the sixth row terminat-
