A very distinct species on account of its black colour and the 

 elongate elevations on the alternate elytral interstices being con- 

 fined to the apical portion. It has much the appearance of a large 

 Chalcolampra. Compared with S. parallela, Germ., the prothorax 

 is considerably narrower in proportion to the elytra. Owing to 

 the fineness of the general puncturation of the prothorax the 

 larger punctures scattered over it are extremely conspicuous.

Seirotrana monticola, sp.nov. 

 Minus angusta; minus parallela; modice convexa ; minus nitida; 

 cupreo-aenea ; capite prothoraceque crebre sat fortiter sat 

 rugulose punctulatis puncturis majoribus nonnullis inter- 

 mixtis ; hoc quam longiori fere dimidio (postice quam antice 

 quinta parte) latiori, antice leviter (postice late triangulariter) 

 emarginato, lateribus modice rotundatis ante basin sinuatis 

 leviter crenulatis nullo modo explanatis, angulis posticis sat 

 acute rectis ; elytris punctulato-striatis, puncturis in striis 

 quadratis, interstitiis alternis convexis hie illic subinterruptis. 

 $ abdominis segmentis basalibus in medio planatis, longitudina-

 tudinaliter valde carinato. [Long. 5f, lat. 2± lines. 



A very distinct species with extremely strong sexual characters, 

 Much wider and less parallel than the preceding, and at once dis- 

 tinguished by the alternate elytral interstices being moderately 

 convex throughout and scarcely interrupted, the quasi-interrup- 

 tions being little more than feeble depressions in the costse. 

 Victoria ; a single example near the summit of Baldi.
