long or roundish tubercles, The other characters are nearly the same 
in both species. Length 9 lines. 
Adelium* augurale. 
A, viridi-zeneum; prothorace utrinque rotundato, modice emarginato, 
vermiculato-punctato; elytris interrupte costatis, punctis numerosis 
impressis. 
Hab. Queensland. 
Dark greenish bronze, in other respects resembling 4. porcatum, but 
the punctures on the head and prothorax deeper and more crowded, on 
the latter especially running together and leaving vermicular spaces in 
the intervals ; on the elytra the alternate ridges are considerably less 
elevated, or, rather, are hardly to be recognized as ridges, being more 
or less tubercular, the punctures more numerous and less confined to 
the strize, the general surface also most minutely granulate, but without 
the small glabrous points visible in 4. porcatuwm; body beneath and 
legs chalybeate blue or green. Length 6 lines. 
I have seen only one specimen of this species. 
Adelium succisum. 
A, viridi-zeneum ; prothorace marginibus subfoliaceis, pone medium subito 
descrescente ; elytris ovatis, irregulariter impresso-punctatis, punctis ap- 
proximatis, aliquando connexis, punctis minoribus dispersis; antennis 
filiformibus. 
Hab. Victoria. 
Dark greenish bronze; head roughly punctured; prothorax trans- 
verse, the sides slightly foliaceous, gradually broader for about two- 
thirds of its length, then suddenly narrowing to the base, the disk with 
obscure punctiform impressions principally at the sides; elytra ovate, 
the shoulders nearly obsolete, covered with numerous punctiform im- 
pressions, some of which unite, and having smaller punctures in the 
intervals ; body beneath black, very glossy, the segments on each side 
with a V-shaped impression ; legs black, shining. Length 6-8 lines. 
Narrower than A. porcatum, which, however, is by no means its 
nearest ally, and well distinguished by the peculiar angularity of the 
sides of the prothorax, which look as if broken off posteriorly. 
Adeliumn vicarium. 
A. fusco-zneum; prothorace marginibus rotundatis, modice dilatatis ; 
elytris anguste ovatis, seriatim impresso-punctatis ; antennis apicem 
versus crassioribus. 
Hab. Western Australia. 
Dark bronze; head punctured anteriorly, the vertex impunctate ;
