104 SUBFAMILIES CYPR ALE1N M AND CSODALON1N JE, 



abdomen strongly punctate, the punctures smaller and more distant 

 than on the elytra. Dimensions, 11-11*5 x 3*5 mm. 



Hab. — Ebor and Guyra (New England district), New South 

 Wales (R. J. Tillyard and the author). 



Three specimens under examination, without evident sexual dis- 

 tinction. A beautiful variegated species, nearest to T. varicolor 

 Haag-Rut., but differing in its narrower form, the colours different- 

 ly arranged, and having much coarser punctures on the prothorax 

 and elytra. C. varicolor is, moreover, glabrous or nearly so. Com- 

 pared with T. columbine, Erichs., the colour is much more brilliant 

 and various, the prothorax is less cylindric (more explanate on 

 hinder half), the punctures on prothorax are smaller and less 

 crowded, while those on the elytra are distinctly smaller, especially 

 towards the apex. Its distinctions from the other described species 

 are obvious. One specimen has the elytra greenish, with the suture 

 coppery-purple, otherwise identical with the other two. Type in 

 the author's Coll. 



TlT^NA MINOR, n.Sp. 



Upper surface dark peacock-blue, pilose, suture of elytra brassy ; 

 underside, legs, antennae and oral organs red. 



Head and prothorax densely and (compared with other species) 

 finely punctate, the latter thickly clad with long upright whitish 

 hairs; very gibbous anteriorly, the lateral margins only evident 

 near base from above, sides rather widely rounded, all angles ob- 

 tuse, the posterior very wide and subobsolete. Elytra evidently 

 wider than the prothorax at base, and shortly cylindric, striate- 

 punctate, the striee shallow, the punctures moderately large (though 

 smaller and closer than in any described species), the intervals with 

 smaller punctures sometimes irregular (near the suture), sometimes 

 in rows, pilose (with more sparse clothing than the prothorax), 

 segments of abdomen longitudinally striate and finely punctate, 

 mesosternum coarsely punctate. Dimensions, 6x2 mm.

Several specimens taken by Mr. A. M. Lea, and the author, at 

 night, on fences, in January, 1912, of which four are under ex-
