Leptops hypocritus Pasc. 



There are two spécimens before me which with some slight 

 doubt I refer to this species; the are certainly allied to glaucus 

 (stated by Pascoe be near hypocritus). Their elytral sculpture is 

 somewhat as in robustus, except that the suture is not suddenly 

 thickened posteriorly. In the female the prothorax is transverse 

 (as in the type) but in the maie it is slightly wide; but in neither 

 the spécimens is the prothorax obsoletely carinulate at the base; 

 this, however, I do not regard as of importance, as in the allied 

 robustus the prothorax is sometimes without a basai carina, 

 although a feeble one is usually présent. The maie differs from the 

 female in being smaller, with longer antenn;e and considerably 

 narrower elytra, as well as in the comparative width of the 

 prothorax.

Leptops musimon Pasc. 



There are eight spécimens before me (two of which are from 

 Rockhampton, the locality of the type) which I believe belong to 

 this species. They are certainly allied to polyacanthus and ebeninus 

 and bave the club no stouter than the funicle (a most unusual 

 feature in Leptops) and in ail particulars they agrée with the 

 description except in the number of tubercles on the elytra; but of 

 the eight before me not two agrée in this respect. In the type the 

 suturai row of tubercles was smaller than the others and obsolète 

 towards the base, the two intermediate row each consisted of six 

 tubercles and the outer row of three. 



In three of my spécimens the suturai row of tubercles is traceable 

 to the base, but in the others there are a few small tubercles about 

 the summit of the posterior declivity only; the tubercles in ail the 

 other rows vary in number from four to seven, and they are usually 

 not alike on both sides. The female is considerably larger and 

 wider than the maie, with more obtuse tubercles and shorter legs; 

 it is also considerably wider than the females of Baileyi and 

 polyacanthus. The size varies from 5 1/2 to 7 lines.

Leptops corrugatus Pasc. 



This species, an unusually short, robust insect wich certainly 

 looks somewhat aberrant for Leptops, was described as the type of
