502 NOTES OK AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



elevatis magis nitidis sat sparsim — sat transverso, antice sat 

 fortiter angustato, lateribus modice arcuatis, angulis posticis 

 rectis ; scutello in medio impresso ; elytris singulis costis 6 

 (sutura margineque laterali inclusis) et altera abbreviata 

 scutellari nitidis subnexuosis instructis, interstitiis in partibus 

 nigris reticulatim sat fortiter (in partibus flavis vix perspicue) 

 rugulosis, lateribus pone huineros parum sinuatis, apice 

 truncato et breviter niultidentato ; corpore subtus fortiter 

 punctulato ; segmento ventrali basali autice longitudinaliter 

 concavo, segmento apicali fere ut S.frenchi sed minus fortiter 

 producto et utrinque in margine laterali dente parvo acuto 

 armato. [Long. 10, lat. 3 -J lines. 



A very remarkable Buprestid and quite unlike any other known 

 to me. The structure of its under surface, — especially the relation 

 of the sterna inter se and the form of the apical segment, — together 

 with the general form, however, is so much in agreement with S. 

 australis that I think the two species ought not to be far separated. 

 The yellow blotches on the elytra are arranged in five fascia? which 

 occupy altogether a larger space than the black portions ; of these 

 fascia? the anterior two are not very distinct inter se ; the two 

 costse preceding the margin are abbreviated in front and are con- 

 nected with each other a little behind the shoulder ; they are also 

 connected (as is the 2nd with the 1st) a little before the apex. 



S. Australia ; I do not know the exact habitat.
