12 endemic ones; and 34 species, all endemic with the excep- 

 tion of one species which is also distributed över New 

 Guinea. 



My material contains only two species belonging to differ- 

 ent genera. 



Of tbe genus Sagra hitherto only two species seem to 

 be recorded from Australia, S. paj^uana Jag. and S. abdomi- 

 nalis Jag. My species does not belong to any of tbese, is 

 more allied to S. jemorata Drury, but forms, however, a di- 

 stinct species of its own. 



Sagra ciiieeuslaiidica n. sp. (Fig. 8). — Of the same size 

 and shape as 8. jemorata Drury, but differing in the shape 

 of prothorax, the formation of the bind legs, the colour etc. 

 Body fairly broad and convex, of a metallic bluish-green, 

 and glabrous; head elongate, distinctly punctured, antennae 

 of normal length, the 7 first joints of the same colour as the 

 body, the 4 last ones quite black and more densely punctured. 

 Prothorax broader than in S. jemorata Drury, 

 at its anterior well-marked angles nearly 

 as broad as long, round the indistinct median 

 line there are some slight impressions, and 

 the spöts are tiny and scattered. Elytra 

 more bluish at the sides, and more greenish 

 on the disc, distinctly punctured, the punctur- 

 es here and there being arranged in rows. This 

 is distinctly the case near the suture at the 

 _. „ „. „ base. There are four different systems of de-

of Sagra queens- pressions: a smaller one on eacn side or the 

 landica Mjöb. scutellum, one, larger, near the shoulder, 

 another on the sides behind the shoulders, and 

 a fourth one on the disc near the suture; metasternum with 

 an impressed median line, the sculpture finely reticulated; 

 the last abdominal segment more strongly punctured than 

 the others. Legs of moderate size, hind femora enlarged, finely 

 serrated along the inferior edge and nearer the apex with an 

 obtuse tooth (Fig. 8). 



Length 21 mm. Greatest breadth 10 mm. 



One single specimen from Haweys Creek near Bellenden 

 Ker, N. Queensland, July 1913.
