706 A LIST OP THE TROGOSITIDiE OF AUSTRALIA, 



Nearly allied to Leperina turhata, which it resembles in form and 

 colour ; head more closely and less strongly punctvired ; prothorax 

 moderately strongly and not very closely punctured, the sides dis- 

 tinctly constricted just before the posterior angles, the median line 

 only slightly elevated ; the elytral fascicles much less raised, and 

 the abdominal segments not as strongly punctured as in the allied 

 species. 



12. Leperina cirrosa. (A.M.) 



Leperina cirrosa, Pascoe, Journal of Entom. I., p. 100 (1860). 



Percy Island, Endeavour River, Port Denison, Rockhampton. 

 Maryborough, Wide Bay, Moreton Bay, Queensland. 



This species is remarkable for the great length of the white 

 scales on the sides of the prothorax and the large size of the 

 elytral fascicles. 



13. Leperina burnettensis. (A.M.) 



Leperina burnettensis, Macleay, Trans. Ent. Soc, N. S. Wales, 

 II., p. 164(1871;. 



Rockhampton, Gayndah, Queensland. 



Closely allied to Leperina cirrosa — indeed I think it very 

 possible that when more specimens are available for comparison 

 they will prove to be extreme varieties of a single very plastic 

 species. The two specimens before me, one of which is the type, 

 diflfer from Leperina cirrosa in their smaller size, in having the 

 fascicles on the prothorax and elytra comparatively smaller and 

 the appressed white scales on the sides of the former shorter and 

 less numerous ; the abdominal segments are rather more closely 

 and regularly punctured. 



14. Leperina lacera. (A.M.) 



Leperina lacera, Pascoe, Journal of Entom, p. 101 (1860). 

 Gayndah, Queensland ; Jerrawa, Jugiong, Clyde River, Monaro, 



New South Wales ; Melbourne, Victoria ; Adelaide, South 



Australia. 



This species varies considerably in size (8-13 mm.) and in the 



punctuation of the prothorax. In some specimens the disc on
