(J. Head small, smooth; front and vertex lightly convex; clypeus 

 not divided from front, lightly emarginate, wings not divided 

 from median part; supra-antennal plates narrow, not divided 

 from wings of clypeus by a lateral sinuosity; frontal fovese small, 

 shallow ; facial sulci lightly impressed, diverging lightly back- 

 wards; facial carinas wide, depressed; eyes not prominent. Pro- 

 thorax a little longer than broad (2 x 1-9 mm.), evenly convex, 

 narrowed anteriorly (ant. width IGmm.); anterior angles lightly 

 rounded, lateral basal impressions shallow, elongate, minutely 

 punctate; median and anterior lines distinctly impressed. Elytra 

 convex (4 x 2-2 mm.); sides lightl}^ rounded, a little narrowed to 

 base; shoulders rounded; base truncate; lateral channel narrow 

 at humeral angles; strise lightly impressed, finely punctate, first 

 entire, others (excepting seventh) becoming obsolete on apical 

 declivity; interstices lightly convex near base, flat on apical half, 

 seventh carinate at base, eighth narrowly carinate near apex. 

 Prosternum with pectoral part flat, margined by strong carina^, 

 these oblique, but becoming parallel at anterior extremit}'; 

 episterna finely rugulose and transversely striolate. Anterior 

 tibife narrow; the apical projection short and but little outturned;

Hab. : Victoria — Lillydale (Sloane). 



It ajDpears tome that this must be 0. vagann, Putz.; it certainly 

 should be the species he mentions as from Melbourne, at the end 

 of his description; if so, the type specimen was a very small one, 

 though one equally small has been sent to me by Mr. Blackburn. 

 It is very closely allied to C. lepirJa, Putz., of which it seems the 

 Victorian representative; the more convex and less parallel elytra 

 seem the most decided character distinguishing it from C. lepida. 

 The black legs seem characteristic of the typical form of C. vagans,
