212 Rev. F. W. Hope’s Descriptions of 
nibus ad basin eneis ; fascia prima flava, in medio, lata, ad 
angulos autem attenuata, 2da vix ad suturam extensa, 3tia 
margine apicali in Junulam efformata. Apex bidentatus. 
Corpus infra obscure zeneum et pubescens, pedibus antennis- 
que concoloribus. 
The abové insect was received from Western Australia by Mr. 
Gould ; it is closely allied to a species which I formerly named 
after Mr. Burchell, but at once may be distinguished from that 
insect, as the elytra have only two spines at the apex, whereas 
Mr. Burchell’s insect has three. 
Sp. 10. Stagmodera assimilis, Hope. 
Violacea, thorace olivaceo-zeneo, elytris tribus fasciis flavis ; 
corpore infra purpurascente, pedibus concoloribus. 
Long. lin. 54, lat. lin. 2. 
Affinis Stigmodere apicali, Hope, at paullo latior. Caput cya- 
neum, thorace violaceo. Elytra violacea, ternis fasciis flavis 
signata, fasciis fortiter punctulatis. Corpus infra leete viola- 
ceum, pedibus concoloribus. 
The above species was received from Port Philip, and is closely 
allied to St.apicalis alluded to above. There is a remarkable variety 
of it from the same locality, which has the elytra of a greenish 
tinge, and the first fascia continued along the entire base of the 
elytra, whereas in other specimens the first fascia is generally 
interrupted. 
Sp. 11. Stegmodera Adelaide, Hope. 
Purpurascens, thorace flavo-marginato, disco viridi creberrime 
punctulato, elytris violaceis et decem-maculatis ; corpore infra 
flavo, pedibus violaceis. 
Long. lin. 5, lat. lin. 2. 
Affinis Stegmodere versicolori, Laporte, at longior et latior. 
Caput viride, fronte macula flava rotundata parva signato. 
Thorax viridis, punctulatus, marginibus lateralibus flavis. 
Elytra purpurea, disco octo maculis croceis signato, binis 
aliis ad latera positis. Corpus infra late flavum ; segmentis 
abdominis postice pedibusque violaceis. 
The above species is from the settlement at Adelaide, and is 
allied to St. versicolor, Laporte, described as from Swan River. It 
may here be remarked, that the different settlements of Australia 
afford many insects closely resembling each other, and which,
