Coleojytera, Part I. 135 



Head with a feeble impimctate median line, becoming dark 

 on vertex ; declivous portion with numerous not very conspicuous 

 punctures. Prothorax about as long as wide ; with very indis- 

 tinct punctures, nowhere condensed into distinct spots. Elytra 

 about twice the length of prothorax ; with regular rows of small 

 but fairly distinct punctures ; each side of apex with a strong 

 sharp extension, projecting obliquely forwards and downwards ; 

 between this and suture a much shorter subtriangular extension. 

 Length 4^ mm.

The tip of the elytra of the female of mundersi, as figured by 

 Chapuis, will give a good general idea of the tip of the elytra 

 of this species ; but the species differs from saundersi in being 

 larger, with the posterior declivity different. In the present 

 species the declivity is almost evenly rounded, opaque, and 

 rather feebly striated.

 Mon. des. Platypides, 1865, p. 278, figures 167 (<? $), a, b, c, d. 

 Mr. C. French, junr., has sent to me several specimens of this 

 species as having been taken (alive) at Melbourne in wood from 

 Java. It was originally described from Borneo.

A female from Cairns appears to belong to this species. It 

 was originally described from Ceylon, but was recorded by 

 Chapuis from Malacca, Celebes, Batchian and Marty. Four 

 varieties are figured by Chapuis, and the Cairns specimen agrees 

 closest to the typical form (figure 160). 



Platypus oinnivonis^ Lea. 



Mr. H. W. Cox has taken this species in the lUawarra district, 

 in N.S. Wales. 



Notoplatypus, n. g.
