This species may be at once known by the orange-yellow 

 colour, the two distinct spots on the middle of the thorax, 

 and the singular evenly carinate elytra. The suture and 

 two first carinas are moderately raised; the two second pale 

 lines start from the raised humeral callus, but are scarcely 

 elevated lower down ; all the lines unite with the pale 

 margin of the base, but only the suture and margin are 

 connected at the apex. The ventral apical plate is long, 

 and somewhat triangular, with a fovea on each side at the 

 base, and a pale triangular spot in the middle of the base.

Luciola australis, Fab. Sj^st. Ent. p. 201. 



Very close to ind'ica, Mots. The only difference I can 

 see being that the tibire are black, and that the suture and 

 margins are not inclined to be pale, as in some specimens 

 of indica.

Luciola spcctralis, n. sp. 



Supra pallide flavo-testacea, capite sordide flavo, an- 

 tennis, thorace maculis duabus magnis, elytrorum apice

Long. lin. 5i c? ? 



Thorax obsoletely channelled, clothed with yellow pile, 

 hind angles acute, scarcely produced. Elytra with four 

 cost?e. The black colour of the apex not very pronounced, 

 and the yellow extends along the suture and margin. 

 Punctuation of the elytra close but distinct, the pile very 

 short but close.
