COLEOPTEBA.—LEA. 219 



crowded and larger than on head. Elytra much wider than prothorax, parallel- 

 sided to near apex ; each with four discal costiE ; punctures small and crowded. 

 Legs long and thin ; tibia? bispinose at apex ; claws each with an obtuse basal 

 appendix. Length, 11 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Stradbroke Island in December (H. Hacker). — Type 

 (unique), C/2313 in Queensland Museum. 



The elytra are much as in C, macleayi, and the prothorax also has three 

 dark markings, but the prothorax itself is decidedly longer and thinner, with 

 much stronger punctures, head immaculate between eyes, and these decidedly 

 larger, and the antennjv entirely pale. On the prothorax the dark part on each 

 side is continuous from base to apex, and widest at the apical third, the median 

 line is thinner, shorter and irregular; the pale sutural portion is slightly wider 

 than the scutellum at the base, and becomes very narrow posteriorly. 



COPIDITA NIGRIPENNIS sp. noy. 



S Flavous, elytra blackish with a vague bluish gloss, parts of tarsi and 

 three spots on prothorax slightly infuscated. Rather densely clothed with ashen 

 pubescence, more conspicuous on elytra than elsewhere. 



Head rather long, with dense sharply defined punctures, becoming smaller 

 in front ; jaws notched at tips. Antenna? long and thin, second to sixth joints 

 cylindrical (the following ones missing). Prothorax long and thin, sides some- 

 what dilated near apex, base margined and bisinuate; punctures crowded and 

 slightly larger than on head. Elytra much wider than prothorax, parallel-sided 

 to near apex, each with four discal costa, of which the third is scarcely traceable ; 

 with crowded and mostly rugose punctures, but many sharply defined. Legs 

 long but not very thin ; tibije unispinose at apex ; claws thin, each with a small 

 basal appendix. Length, 10 mm. 



Hab. — Queensland: Bribie Island (H. Hacker). — Type (unique), C/2314 

 in Queensland Museum. 



In some respects close to C. mira, but prothorax longer and less dilated 

 in front, and palpi normal ; from the preceding species it differs in having the 

 legs thicker, with only parts of the tarsi infuscated, the tibite unispinose, and less 

 of elytra pale ; the three faint infuscations on the prothorax are across the 

 apical third ; the suture is very obscurely and narrowly diluted with red. 



DOHRIJIA SEMIFLAVA sp. nov. 



9 Black and flavous. Head and j^rothorax rather sparsely clothed, else- 

 where with short, dense pubescence. 



Head gently convex between eyes, shallowly depressed in front ; with 

 dense and rather small but sharply defined punctures ; jaws notched at apex. 

 Eyes rather long and finely faceted. Antennae long and thin, the joints 

 cylindrical. Prothorax about as long as the greatest width (near apex), a
