402 TWO NEW SPECIES OF CIC1NDELA, 



cupreous area, is narrower anteriorly, and more inflated pos- 

 teriorly; the elytra are singly rounded at apex, with a small 

 spinule at suture in female, which is obsolete in male. From C. 

 ignicollis Bates, it evidently differs by the pattern of the elytra, 

 and by the want of a "dense patch of white laid hairs" on "fore- 

 head and base of labrum." 



ClCINDELA LINEIFERA, n Sp. 



Q. Elongate-oval. Glabrous, legs (including four anterior coxae) 

 beset with white hairs. Head, prothorax, and undersurface 

 viridiaeneous; abdomen with apical segment testaceous; labrum 

 and base of mandibles lacteous, apex of mandibles and apical 

 joint of maxillae atro-viridescent; elytra lacteous, suture and two 

 longitudinal stripes on each elytron aeneous, the inner stripe 

 uniting with the sutural stripe near scutellum, and with the 

 outer stripe at apex. 



Head 2*9 mm. across eyes, shagreened. Labrum bearing four 

 widely placed submarginal setae; anterior margin lightly arcuate, 

 lightly emarginate in middle, a very small subdentate prominence 

 on each side of median emargination. Prothorax transverse 

 (1*75 x 2*5 mm), roundly ampliate on sides at anterior third: 

 pronotum roughly shagreened; apex arcuate; base lightly emar- 

 ginate truncate; disc depressed, transversely impressed before 

 and behind; posterior transverse impression limited on each side 

 by the antebasal nodules; these nodules rounded externally, not 

 raised or prominent, obliquely narrowed to base. Elytra oval 

 (6-5x3 8mm.); each elytron at apex separately, roundly pro- 

 duced beyond end of suture; a very short mucro at end of suture. 

 Length, 11; breadth, 3-8 mm. 



Hab. — Western Australia (found by Mr. DuBoulay, 100 miles 

 north of Kalgoorlie). Type in National Museum, Melbourne. 



This species belongs to the C. tetragramma-group, and is char- 

 acterised by the rounded sides of the prothorax, which has the 

 lateral basal nodules rounded externally and not prominent. It 

 is closely allied to C tetragramma Chaud., which it resembles in 

 the pattern of the elytra, but it differs from that species by colour 

 (head, prothorax, and femora not cupreous) ; larger size ; pro-
