the sides. Antenne with the basal joint much stouter than 
usual, the third joint fully twice as long as fourth. Pro- 
thorax with small and rather sparse punctures, and with 
larger punctures moderately densely distributed (except on 
basal portion of disc), and becoming larger at sides. Hlytra 
with series of punctures, becoming smaller and rather closer 
together posteriorly ; interstices (except posteriorly) scarcely 
visibly punctate. Pro- and metasternum almost impunc- 
tate; epipleure of the latter with distinct irregular 
punctures. Abdomen with minute scattered punctures. 
Basal joint of tarsi scarcely inflated. Length 5, width 3mm. 
Hah.—N.8S.W.: Galston. 
A distinct species, having a more rounded outline than 
usual. 
CHALCOLAMPRA PUNCTIFRONS, N.sp. 
Oblong-ovate, strongly convex. Head obscure blackish- 
brown ; prothorax black with a greenish gloss; elytra bronzy ; 
basal joints of antenne (the apical infuscate) and legs 
obscure testaceous—under-surface somewhat darker. 
Hcad minutely punctate in front, with coarse punctures ; 
vertex deeply longitudinally impressed; clypeus densely 
punctate, its suture indistinct in middle, subfoveate at 
sides, an oblique line continued hindward to _ each 
eye. Antenne with the second, third, and fourth joints 
equal in length, or almost so. Prothorar with minute 
punctures, the sides with large and almost regular punctures, 
disc with only the small punctures at base, but with a few 
of moderate size apically. Hlytra with a series of compara- 
tively large and subapproximate punctures, but little smaller 
near apex than base; the interstices impunctate, and just 
perceptibly separately convex. Abdomen not minutely 
punctate, but the punctures rather sparse. Basal joint of 
tarsi moderately inflated. Length 44, width 3mm. 
Hab.—N.8.W.: Forest Reefs. 
A strongly convex and well-marked species, rendered very 
distinct by the sculpture of the head and comparative length 
of the second joint of the antenne. 
CHALCOLAMPRA SIMILLIMA, Bally. 
This species (which I have from Geraldton, Mount Barker, 
and Beverley) is narrower and more convex than parallela, 
and with punctures in the elytral series rather larger. I
