390 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
believe it to be distinct from parallela, although, for pur- 
poses of tabulation, I have not been able to specify any dis- 
tinguishing features. 
CHALCOLAMPRA REPENS, Germ. 
I have little doubt but that I know this species (some of 
my specimens agree exactly with both Germar’s and Baly’s 
descriptions). It has been recorded from Adelaide and Mel- 
bourne by Baly; my own specimens are from New South 
Wales (Windsor, Hillgrove, Forest Reefs, Tamworth, Quean- 
beyan, Bindogundra, and Cootamundra), and vary in length 
from 6 to 8imm. Many of them are brassy; others are 
brassy, brown, purplish-brown, bluish, bluish-purple, or 
brassy-green ; 1n some, the elytra have a purplish gloss which 
is absent or scarcely traceable on the prothorax. In a large 
specimen the elytra are distinctly (but finely) wrinkled, 
especially on the apical third; in a few: others feeble 
wrinkles (starting from the punctures) can be traced, but 
the majority are without them. The clypeus in one sex 
(tfemale?) is separated from the face by a distinct groove, 
but in the other sex the groove is scarcely traceable ; in both, 
however, there is a very distinct angular impression on each 
side. 
CHALCOLAMPRA THORACICA, Baly. 
I have numerous specimens from Tasmania, which agree 
exactly with Mr. Baly’s description and figure of this 
species. The species, however, is variable in size (7-10mm.), 
in comparative width, and, to a certain extent, in markings. 
The paler border of the prothorax* is sometimes very 
obscure, with its spot sometimes isolated (as in the type), 
but often joined to the base, or base and middle.
