elongate. The other two are rare. .\11 are small — halt an 

 inch or less. 



2882. C. auricollis, L. and G., var. ochreiventris, Snd., s/rigald, 



Macl. 

 A rare l^eetle. My specimen has the prothorax dark 

 purplish-blue, elytra light yellow, with the apex and six spots 

 (two of which are on the suture) blue. In the typical examples 

 I believe the spots are "replaced by transverse bands, but all 

 that I have seen from this district were marked with spots, as 

 described above. Taken on grey box blossom in December.

var. lais, Thoms., var. triramosa, Thoms., distin- 



gttenda, Thoms., fraterna, Kerr. 

 This prettily-marked and variable species with the heavy 

 burden of names is found on the " broom" tea-tree in the white 

 sand-hill country. 

 2849. C. jekelli, Snd. 



Very similar to some forms of bimaculata, but " apices of 

 elytra with minute excision, not bispinose." 



2831. C. gihhicollis, Snd., fascigera, Kerr. 



This red and black species used to be fairly common in the 

 Birchip district, but I have never taken it except on the 

 " dogwood " blossom. 



2867. C. marginicollis, Snd. 



A fine and rare beetle. It is about | of an inch in Ungth ; 

 dark yellow, with wide black transverse bars. 



2911. C. robusta, Snd. 



> About the same size as preceding. It has the prothorax 

 blue, elytra bright red — in some with apex and two sutural 

 spots blue, in others with transverse blue bands. 



C. pisciformis, Carter, Tr. Roy. Soc. S. Aust., vol. xl., 



1916, page 125, PI. X., fig. 20. 



Very similar in general appearance to T. thomsuni, Init the 



black markings not so broad, also " differs from the latter 



besides markings? in less sinuate and more attenuated form, 



and its flat and distinctly punctate elytral intervals."

 They are yellow, with black transverse bands and bronzy 

 prothorax, and measure about ^* of an inch.
