243. Amethylus triangularis, n. sp. 
Black, antennae dull red, elub darker. Clothing much as in lumbaris, except 
that the apex of prothorax is scarcely fasciculate, and that the abdomen is almost 
regularly clothed. 
Head with a feeble median ridge. Rostrum shorter than prothorax, apex with 
a feeble subtriangular plate. First joint of funiele considerably longer than second. 
Prothorax triangular longer than wide; an obtuse ridge on each side, traceable at 
base but very distinct about middle and almost conjoined at apex; apex produced 
and considerably overhanging head. Elytra more triangular than in lumbaris: 
third interstice strongly elevated from near base to apical fourth, fifth elevated close 
to base. Basal segment of abdomen with a very feeble median ridge, commencing 
at its middle and continued to middle of second. Punctures and other characters 
as in lumbaris. Length 10 mm. 
Hab. — Queensland (Berlin Museum); N. S. Wales: Byron Bay (A. H. 
Hammond). 
Very elosely allied to lumbaris, which it resembles even in the unusual 
markings, but it may be readily distinguished by the prothorax being longer than 
wide, very decidedly triangular, and considerably produced instead of tubereulate at 
apex; the alternate interstices of the elytra are also very different. Three specimens 
are labelled as having been seen “Devouring native passion fruit’”. 
244. Omydaus oblongopunctatus, n. sp. 
Rather sparsely elothed with stout ochreous, scales, each of which (except those 
on elytra) is set in a puncture; with more numerous sooty-black scales, which are 
of a more setose character, and occasionally are shining. 
Head coarsely punctate; with or without a feebie median carina; eyes mode- 
rately faceted. Rostrum almost parallel sided; coarsely and almost equally punctate. 
Scape shorter than funicle.e Prothorax moderately convex, sides rounded, base 
bisinuate; median carina distinet; with dense, large, round and not very shallow 
punetures. Elytra Tongate subcordate, base equally trisinuate; with series of very
