388 MISCELLANEA ENTOMOLOGICA, 



7. DlPHUCEPHALA IGNOTA, n. Sp. 



Coppery-red on the upper surface, dark metallic-green beneath. 

 Legs red. Sparingly pilose all over. Head punctate, the 

 clypeus slightly emarginate, the angles slightly reflexed and some- 

 what truncate, the suture of the proclypeus forms a semi-circular 

 transverse ridge ; a deep groove extends along the vertex from 

 one eye to the other. The thorax is rugosely punctate, the dorsal 

 channel is deep but narrow, the transverse depressions large and 

 deep, but not quite joined in the middle. A depression and a few 

 small punctures on the scutellum. The elytra are coarsely but 

 rather regularly punctate, with a tolerably distinct callus at the 

 apical declivity. The under surface is very nitid and very 

 sparingly pilose. 



Length, 3 lines. 



Hab. — New South Wales. 



One very defective specimen of this species is all I have seen, 

 and I have no idea what part of the country it came from. 



8. DlPHUCEPHALA MINIMA, n. Sp. 



This at first sight might possibly be mistaken for a very small 

 specimen of D. rufipes ; it is, however, very distinct. Colour 

 entirely metallic-green with reddish legs. The head is small and 

 punctate, the clypeus is triangularly emarginate with the angles 

 rather acute and much reflexed. Thorax nearly as long as wide, 

 the anterior angles acute, the middle of each side distinctly 

 angular, the lateral fovese deep but scarcely meeting in the middle, 

 and the dorsal channel formed of a very faint ridge with a broad 

 depression on each side. The scutellum is depressed in the middle 

 and of a slight coppery hue. The elytra are coarsely punctate in 

 tolerably regular rows, and are without vestige of longitudinal 

 costse. The under surface is more densely pilose than the upper. 

 Tibiae not bidentate. 



Length, 2 lines. 



Hab. — Currajong. One specimen, Macl. Mus.
