Swan River and New South Wales are the two localities with which 
my examples are registered. The species is also in the cabinet of 
Mr. Baly. 
Fam. Eumolpide. 
Genus Ruyparipa, Baly. 
I think that the species composing this genus may eventually be 
divided into two genera. The following, however, is a true Rhypa- 
rida, closely resembling in form Mr. Baly’s type R. dimidiata. 
R. nitida, n. sp. 
R. oblonga, parum convexa, punctato-striata, eeneo-nigra, nitida; capite 
inter oculos longitudinaliter foveolato, subtilissime punctato; thorace 
transverso, longitudinis dupla latitudine, lateribus haud parallelis, rotun- 
datis et tenuiter marginatis, angulis anticis distinctis, disco levi sub- 
tiliter punctato; elytris latis, punctato-striatis (punctis obseuris, haud 
profundis, et apicem versus penitus obliteratis) ; corpore subtus pedibus- 
que eeneo-nigris; antennis fuscis, articulis ad basin flavis. 
Long. corp. 23 lin., lat. 1 lin. 
Shorter, less distinctly punctate, and darker in colour than viridi- 
cenea, Blanch., which is clearly punctate-striate throughout, and in 
colour of a dull metallie green. 
I have received both these insects from New South Wales. 
Subfamily TyrorHorina, Baly. 
MARrs2vs, nov. gen. 
Generi Rhyparide (Baly, Journ. Ent. 1861, p. 286) approximans, sed paulo 
elongatus, thoracisque marginibus haud rectis et parallelis aut sub- 
parallelis (ut in specie R. grandi), sed vel rotundatis vel rotundato- 
angulatis. Differt a proxim. genere Febra thorace subquadrato, non 
transverso, elytris coarctiore, marginibus (ut in g. Damelia) ad humeros 
haud attingentibus. 
Corpus subparallelum, nitidum, plerumque punctate striatum. Capet ver- 
ticale ; antennis filiformibus, modice attenuatis, art. 1™° crasso, art. 240 
et 3tio subeequalibus (in Rhyparida art. 5tio et 4to eequalibus, art. 2do 
minore). Thorax subquadratus, vel apicem versus angustior, lateribus 
anguste marginatis, haud rectis sed subangulatis, interdum etiam rotun- 
datis. Elytra sat parallela, et ad apicem rotundata (haud ut in Rhy- 
parida grandi apicem versus angustata). Pedes robusti, femoribus 
posticis subincrassatis; ¢ibis posticis et mediis margine exteriore ad 
apicem dentatis ; weguieulis distincte dentatis.
