begin at the middle of the length instead of just behind apical 

 third when viewed purpendicularly, and the female differs from 

 the female of that species in its less transverse prothorax, with 

 the sides evenly convergent and rounded throughout and in its 

 relatively longer el^^tra. Three specimens. 



Satyrus was attracted abundantly to the electric lights at Aus-

C gloljllliiia n. sp. — Short and broadly oblong-oval, strongly convex, 

 diall, clothed sparsely -with rather long decumbent yellowish hairs, black, the 

 legs dark piceo-ruf ous ; elytra strongly descending posteriorly in profile. 

 Head a little less than one-half as wide as the prothorax, finely feebly and 

 sparsely punctate, the epistomal sinus moderately deep; antennae about as 

 long as the prothorax, stout, black, pale at apex and toward base. Prothorax 

 a little less than twice as wide as long, the apex scarcely two-thirds as wide as 

 the base, the sides very evenly arcuate; basal angles rounded and but slightly 

 posteriorly obliqire at base; apical angles broadly rounded, the apex moder- 

 ately emarginate in circular arc; disk rather finely biit strongly, moderately 

 sparsely and almost equally punctate throughout from side to side; marginal 

 bead fine. Elytra, viewed perpendicularly, very short, not as long as wide and 

 not twice as long as the prothorax, deeply vertical in profile toward apex, 

 very finely, feebly, sparsely punctate and feebly, indefinitely uneven and 

 opaque; epi pleura; narrow, gradually hollowed toward base and apex. Legs
