94 SUBFAMILIES CYPHALEINJR AND CNODALONIN.V, 



Scutellum triangular, sides rounded, finely punctate. Elytra 

 ovate, very convex or humped in front of middle, thence evenly 

 and rather flatly declivous to apex, the latter rather sharp, but 

 unarmed: a small depression at extreme shoulders and on each 

 side of scutellum, border narrowly canaliculate within, abruptly 

 ending before apex, densely not coarsely punctate, with three 

 obscure, sometimes raised lines on each elytron, less punctate 

 than the rest, more evident on apical than basal half. Abdomen 

 faintly striolate, the last segment punctate, sternum finely punc- 

 tate at sides only and on epimera; epipleurse slightly rugose and 

 very finely punctate, submentum evidently punctate, legs slender, 

 tibiae straight. Dimensions, 14-15 x 9-10 mm. 



#a&._Dorrigo, New South Wales(R. J. Tillyard). 



Three specimens of this beautiful insect were amongst Mr. 

 Tillyard's captures, two males and one female. The anterior tarsi 

 show more than the usual sexual enlargement. The colours are 

 much more brilliant on the underside than above, but their 

 definition is difficult to describe. Its form and combined char- 

 acters do not fit it into any of the existing genera, though it is 

 nearest Oremasis; while approaching Hemicyclus in its broadly 

 ovate form, from which it is readily distinguished by its more 

 explanate surface, longer (and yellow) legs, and antennas. Types 

 in the author's Coll. 



Cyclophanes gloriosus, n.sp. 



Widely oblong-ovate; upper surface brilliant iridescent blue 

 and green with purple reflections, the head rather densely clothed 

 with golden pubescence, pronotum at the sides and epipleurse of 

 elytra purple; underside black; antennae, palpi, legs, and tarsi 

 bright yellow. 



Head : labrum very prominent and rectangular, epistoma 

 rounded in front, angular at its junction with canthus, the 

 latter quite straight at the sides, angular in front, closely and 

 not coarsely punctate, these sometimes concealed by dense short 

 recumbent hairs; eyes large, reniform, separated by a distance 

 equal to the transverse diameter of one eye (as seen from above); 

 antennae extending slightly beyond the base of prothorax, joints
