212 A LIST OF THE CUCUJID.E OP AUSTRALIA, 



The LmmojMoeus characterized above is very distinct from all 

 the species known to me and may be distinguished by its short 

 antenna?, broad prothorax (with the deeply impressed lateral line) 

 and prettily marked elytra. 



14. L^MOPiiLOEUs Ramsayi. sp. n. (A.M.) 



Elongate, depressed, dark metallic brassy green ; prothorax 

 considerably narrowed behind, with a distinct lateral stria ; 

 scutellum testaceous ; elytra metallic green, sparingly covered with 

 long yellow pubescence, with a moderately broad testaceous fascia 

 considerably before the middle and a similar but narrower fascia 

 just before the apex. 



Head transverse, narrowed and slightly emarginate in front, 

 very finely and sparingly punctured, with a rather deefjly impressed 

 line running parallel to the posterior mai'gin ; clypeus rather large, 

 slightly emarginate in front ; mandibles very large and prominent, 

 pale i-eddish testaceous, with the tips pitchy. Antennae considerably 

 longer than the head and prothorax together, pitchy red, the apex 

 of the terminal joint pale testaceous. Prothorax finely and 

 sparingly punctured ; the anterior angles deflexed and rather 

 strongly produced ; the sides rounded and feebly sinuate just 

 before the base ; the posterior angles very slightly produced. 

 8cutellum transverse, impunctate. Elytra scarcely one and a half 

 times as long as the head and prothorax together, broader than the 

 prothorax in front, gradually widening out until just Ijehind the 

 middle, then rounded to the apex, indistinctly and not very closely 

 punctate-striate, the interstices wide and very sparingly punctured, 

 the sutural stria obsolete near the scutellum, the fourth stria rather 

 deeply impressed, the pubescence emitted from the strife ; each 

 elytron with a moderately broad oblique fascia considerably before 

 the middle, extending from behind the humeral angles to just before 

 the suture, and a similar but much narrower fascia extending from 

 near the suture to the lateral margin near the apex. Legs reddish 

 testaceous. Length If — 2\ mm. 



Wide Bay, Queensland.
