 elytron. The legs are metallic-green, the anterior tibiae bidentate, 

 the teeth reddish — very minute in the male, rather strong in the 

 female.

I have named this species after George Barnard, Esq., of 

 Coomooboolaroo, Upper Dawson, from whom I have received this 

 this and many other rare and beautiful insects. The mucrouate 

 elytra of the females are the most distinguishing feature of this 

 species.

Entirely metallic-green, moderately nitid, thinly pilose above, 

 rather densely beneath. Head densely and finely punctate, clypeus 

 broad, square, lightly emarginate in the male, the angles rounded 

 on their internal face, and very slightly reflexed. Thorax thinly 

 and minutely punctate, the dorsal channel rather lightly marked 

 and broadest on the basal half, and the lateral fovea? deep, but not 

 nearly reaching the middle. Scutellum smooth. Elytra rugosely 

 punctate, the punctures somewhat smaller and more obliterate 

 than in many of the species. The fore tibiae are normally bidentate, 

 the teeth and all the tarsi subcyaneous.

25. DlPHUCEPHALA CUPREA, n. sp. 



Like D. rugosa but of less robust form, finer puncturation, and 

 denser pubescence. It is of a semiopaque golden-green lustre, with 

 the elytra coppery-red, the upper surface is thinly pilose, the 

 under densely. The head is broad and finely punctate, flat, and 

 sharply and shortly reflexed at the apex of the clypeus, the 

 emargination slight. The thorax is punctate but less coarsely 

 than in D. rugosa, the dorsal channel is distinct and widest behind, 

 the lateral fovese large but not very deep and the lateral angles 

 well marked. Scutellum smooth, depressed in the middle, the
