a faint greenish tinge ; the antennte (entirely), palpi, tarsi 
and coxa3 are ferruginous, the tibise darker. 
Long. 3^ lin. ; lat. elytr. 2^ lin. 
Hah. — New Caledonia. One example, obtained from 
the Collection of Done. 
Omolipus* oblongus, n. sp. 
Elongate-oval, or subcylindric ; above dark green with 
a chalybeate tinge, moderately shining, head and pi'o- 
thorax a little duller and darker : epistoma finely and 
rather closely pvuictured ; head and prothorax almost 
impunctate, smooth ; prothorax very convex, the middle 
of the anterior border produced (almost gibbous), front 
angles strongly bent down and totally invisible when 
viewed from above, the sides strongly rounded to the 
bas^, hind angles obscure : scutellum transversely trian- 
gular, finely punctured : elytra elongate, subcylindric, 
subparallel, gradually narrowed fi'om near the apex, 
which is narrowly rounded; very finely striated, almost 
obsoletely so on the disk, the striae sharply and rather 
distantly impressed with narrow, oblong punctures, much 
smaller and finer at the apex ; intervals rather broad, flat, 
impunctate : underside dark green with chalybeate reflec- 
tions, shining ; abdomen minutely punctured ; legs pitchy 
brown, rather closely punctured ; antennae paler. 
Long. 6g lin. 
Hab. — Champion Bay, W. Australia. A single ex- 
ample, captured by M. Duboulay. 
Easily to be distinguished from all the other described 
species by the colour, and the subparallel elytra. From 
O. cyaneus, Pasc. — the only other species not entirely 
blac^ — it is very distinct by its larger size, different 
colour, less metallic surface, and differently formed and 
sculptured elytra. 
Omolipus parvus, n. sp. 
Small, narrowly elongate-oval, shining black : head 
subvertical, finely and not closely (except on the epistoma) 
punctured ; prothorax similar in form to the preceding 
species, but the middle of the anterior border is still 
more strongly produced, the anterior angles not quite so
