Bab.— Dorrigo, New South Wales(Mr. J. H. Maiden). 



A single female specimen, in the South Australian Museum, is 

 easily separated from its congeners by its yellow appendages, 

 inter alia. 



Chartopteryx planus, n.sp. 



Elongate-elliptic, glabrous, subnitid; chocolate-brown above 

 and below, the margins of elytra with a pale band; legs, oral 

 organs, antennae, and tarsi reddish, tibiae and tarsi with golden 

 tomentum. 



Head: labrum emarginate and ciliate, showing membranous 

 hinge: epistoma broadly truncate, canthus raised and shortly 

 rounded, suture arcuate and clearly defined; impunctate; eyes 

 very large, just free from the prothorax, separated by a distance 

 of one-half the width of one eye; antennas long, slender (extend- 

 ing to the middle of the elytra), joint 3 nearly as long as 4 and 

 5 combined, 3-6 cylindric, 7-10 very slightly enlarged and suc- 

 cessively shorter, 11 narrowly elongate-ovate. Prothorax de- 

 pressed, 3x6 mm., (length measured in the middle), apex semi- 

 circular, its angles strongly projecting and acute (with their tips 

 rounded), sides sinuate anteriorly, moderately widened behind 

 the middle, again sinuate near the acute and slightly produced 

 hind angles; narrowly produced throughout, the lateral and 

 latero-anterior border slightly raised, nitid, and thicker than the 

 rest, margins rather widely foliate and concave, and with the 

 disc entirely impunctate ; base strongly bisinuate, with wide 

 central lobe; a small foveate impression within each posterior 

 angle. Scutellum triangular with rounded sides, convex and 

 impunctate. Elytra moderately convex in both directions, 

 nowhere gibbous; elliptic, rather suddenly incurved towards apex, 

 humeral angle subobsolete and obtuse; widest behind middle, 

 each elytron separately rounded at apex; extreme border narrowly 

 raised (discontinued towards apex), just perceptibly canaliculate 

 within; disc with the suture and three obscurely raised lines 

 smooth from base to apex, the intervals very minutely and 

 irregularly punctate, a short scutellary row of small punctures 

 visible (with a lens); whole underside smooth and impunctate with
