()()() REVISION OF THE GENUS PAIJOPSIK, 



iiitcrno a sutui"i (iiiaiii at) elytroi-uin iiiargiiio lateral! paruiu 

 magis distanti; segmento ventrali basali spaisiiis minus 

 subtiliter punctiilato. Long. 3i, lat. 2^ lines. 

 The widely explanate and evenly rounded sides of the prothorax 

 arc the conspicuous charactcfof this sp(>cies, which is also notable 

 for the strong })0stbasal impressions of the elytra. Two examples 

 from Mt. Kosciusko in N. 8. Wales are smaller with the pro- 

 thorax a trifle morc^ closely punctulate, but I do not think them 

 distinct .speciiically. The intermediate* verrucie of the prothorax 

 are fairly wciU defined.

(J. Ovalis, mi)ius convexa, altitudiiu; inajoi'i (a latere visa) vix 

 ante elytrorum marginem mediuin posita; nitida; subtus 

 nigra, ferrugineo-variegata; capite prothoraceque rufis, hoc 

 transversim nigro 4-maculato; scutello obscuro; elytris rufis 

 seriatim verrucis magnis rotundatis (sed parum elevatis)

 punctulato, lateribus sat arcuatis sat anguste deplanatis, 

 angulis posticis valde obtusis; scutello fere lajvi; elytris
