of New Phytophaga from Western Australia. 405 
bodies ; it is closely allied in form to P. scaphoides, Baly (ined.), 
which also I have received from Western Australia. 
In Mr. Baly’s Collection as well as in my own. 
2. Paropsis apicata. 
E minutis, depressa, ovalis, punctato-striata, flava, in exemplo 
desiceato ad scutellum et apicem sanguineo-notata: caput 
crebré punctatum, rufo-flavum, labro ad medium fusco-notato; 
thorax vix triplo longitudinem latitudine superans, margine 
antico angulato-emarginato, postico sinuato, transverso, 
angulis anticis breviter rotundatis ; confertim et inaequaliter

punctata, punctis crebris minutis, interstitiis minute punc- 
tatis et versus apicem elevatis ; margines utrinque minuté et 
confusé punctati; quoad colorem (in exemplo unico desiccato) 
flava, apice late et regione scutellari sanguineis, color autem 
flavus incertus et adumbratus est, interdum fusco ambigue no- 
tatus; corpus subtus flavum, abdomine fuscato; pedes flavi, 
genubus et tarsis rufo-flavis: antenne rufo-fusce, apice sub-

A single example from which the above description is taken 
suggests, by its appearance, that the living insect may be quite 
different in colour, and probably of singular beauty ; it will be 
recognised from all species of a similar size by the well-pronounced 
coloration of the apex and its somewhat less distinct triangular 
post-scutellary marking.

gulis anticis prominulis et obtusis, posticis rotundatis, latera 
rotundata et tenué marginata, margine anteriori valdé ex- 
cavato et marginato; valde punctatus, crebrius ad latera,
