Strigoptera australis, sp.nov. 



Valde elongata ; minus convexa ; elytris pone medium leviter 



dilatatis ; sat nit id a ; tota \vete violacea plus minusve cupreo- 



micans; capite sat requaliter convexo, inter oculos vix planato 



crebre rugulose punctulato; prothorace longitudinaliter cana- 



liculato (canali postice profundo antrorsum gradatim magis 



obsoleto, marginem anticum haud attingenti), sat fortiter 



minus crebre haud rugulose (latera versus magis crebre 



magis rugulose) punctulato, quam longiori fere duabus partibus 



latiori, postice quam antice circiter quarta parte latiori, 



antice posticeque leviter bisinuato, lateribus modice arcuatis, 



latitudine majori circiter in medio posita, angulis posticis 



obtusis, scutello longitudinaliter impresso ; elytris singulis 



costis 6 (sutura margineque laterali inclusis) bene determinatis 



insignibus, costa suturali antice extrorsum oblique directa, 



costa submarginali antice obsoleta, interstitiis fortiter sub 



reticulatim rugulosis, lateribus pone humeros sinuatis postice 



haud (vel vix perspicue) crenulatis, apice sat rotundatis ; 



corpore subtus fere ut prsecedentis punctulato et segmentis 



ventralibus vix diversis nisi foveis lateralibus haud vel vix 



perspicuis. [Long. 7J-8J, lat. 2|-3 lines. 



Also a very distinct species. I possess an example which 



seems to differ from the above only in being much larger (Long. 



10£ lines) and having the ventral segments coriaceous and more 



finely and deeply punctured ; it is probably a female.
