P. tessellata is conspicuous among other species by the peculiar 
tessellated pattern of its elytra; frequently the closely arranged 
order of punctures is interrupted, in each interruption appears a 
rectangular flavous marking, in the centre of which is a single 
puncture ; the ordinary punctures are black on a fuscous ground, 
the isolated punctures are fulvous on a flavous ground. 
I have received two examples of this species from Mr. Du 
Boulay, one of which is in Mr. Baly’s cabinet, the other in my 
own. 
8. Paropsis nigroconspersa. 
Late ovata, subrotundata, vix depressa, rufo-testacea, nigro- 
maculata et conspersa: caput sparsim punctatum ; thorax 
transversus, margine posteriori subrotundato in medio am- 
pliato, lateribus paulum rotundatis et caput versus com- 
pressis, angulis anticis obtusis, posticis modice rotundatis ; 
sparsim punctatus, lateribus punctis crebrius ornatis ; scutel- 
dum triangulare, impunctatum, nitidum; elytra satis brevia 
et rotundata, striato-punctata, punctis profundis modicis 
ordinatis, versus Jatera media autem confusis, plerumque 
nigris; macule etiam nigre post-mediz longitudinales 
suturales elytra ornant; macula inter strias 1 et 2 post 
scutellum, elongata; inter strias 3 et 4 major, interstitium 
totum ad medium elytri occupans ; inter strias 4 et 5 series 
macularum minorum, et inde ad latera minores inordinate 
plus minus distribute ; apicem versus majores et plus con- 
fertee, ad humeros quoque (ad strias 7 et 8) macula major 
insulata; corpus subtus, pedes et antenne rufo-flavi. 
Long. corp. lin. 3—2}; lat. lin. 2. 
Two specimens are before me, which differ but slightly the 
one from the other. The species may be recognized among its 
punctate-striate congeners by the double lines of elongate mark- 
ings near the suture, and the lateral more irregular and insular 
markings. 
I received both specimens, ¢ and 2, from Mr. Du Boulay, 
from Champion Bay. 
9. Paropsis sanguineotincta. 
E minoribus, ovalis, subparallela, ad apicem attenuata, striato- 
punctata, rufo-testacea, nigro-vittata, medio sanguineo-tincta :
