The legs are as usual in Eutoma; the frontal sulci are shallower 

 posteriorly and do not extend as far backwards as in E. tinc- 

 tillatum, Newm. In the specimen before me, just behind the 

 extremity of each sulcus there is a small punctiform impression, 

 which may represent the usual end of the sulcus in the species, 

 and the presence of which in the type specimen may be caused 

 by a slight interruption of the oi'dinary course of the sulcus. 

 . Allied to E. tinctillcUum but more depressed; the head wider 

 across the eyes and more strongly narrowed posteriorly, eyes more 

 prominent and convex ; prothorax proportionately wider, less 

 convex and less declivous to the sides (the sides are decidedly 

 narrowed to the apex from the anterior marginal puncture); 

 elytra shorter, the marginal punctures fewer in number and 

 placed at wider intervals on middle of sides; posterior tro- 

 chanters shorter and more oval (more widely rounded at apex). 

 The geme rise abruptly from the guise at the base, instead of by 

 a gentle slope as in E. tinctillalum, and are not divided from the 

 submentum by a sulciform impression. Its exact habitat is 

 doubtful, but I believe it is either from Cape York or the North- 

 west Coast. 



E. PUNCTIPENNE, Mad. 



Three specimens of this species have been given to me by Mr. 

 C. French as from Cape York, Queensland. The colour is 

 metallic-purple (including under surface), each elytron has four 

 large punctures — wide apart — placed longitudinally along the 

 middle (one specimen has five punctures on the right elytron). 

 The measurements of the largest specimen are — head 2-8 x 32mm., 

 prothorax 3-5 x 3-3 mm., elytra 7 x 33 mm. Length ll*5-13-5, 

 breadth 28-3 - 3 mm. 



E. frenchi, SI., is very closely allied to C. punctipenne, Macl., 

 but seems to me specifically distinct; it differs by its green colour, 

 the elytra with only three punctures on each, the anterior angles 

 of the prothorax a little more prominent, &c. It should be 

 noted that by some oversight I described E. frenchi as having the
