the paler portions; interstices not raised, with scattered 
minute punctures. Length 94, width 44mm. 
Hab.—Cairns (types in Macleay Museum). 
' A remarkably handsome species. Each of the two speci- 
mens under examination has a fascia occupying nearly one- 
third of the base of the elytra; the second fascia commences 
beyond the middle, and is triangularly dilated along the 
suture to one-fourth from the apex. In one of the speci- 
mens this fascia is complete, being at the sides half the 
width of the basal fascia; in the other specimen a large 
triangular space is completely isolated from a small spot on 
each side. 
PHYLLOCHARIS MARMORATA, D.Sp. 
Head and prothorax bronzy-black, mottled with red; 
basal two-thirds of elytra somewhat similar, but the darker 
markings plum-coloured, shoulders and apical third clear 
testaceous; under surface reddish-testaceous, the apical seg- 
ment of abdomen paler; legs violet-brown; antennz black, 
the four apical joints almost white. 
Head with a few scattered punctures; clypeus depressed 
and triangular, from its apex a depression extending on each 
side to behind the eyes, but close to the eyes sending out a 
short deep furrow. Antennz stout, five basal joints sparsely, 
the others densely punctate. /rothorax about once and 
one-half as wide as long, base feebly bisinuate, sides slightly 
sinuous; apical angles rounded and slightly produced, pos- 
terior feebly acute, with irregular and moderately large 
punctures forming an irregular semi-circle, the sides of 
which rest on the posterior angles, those at the base vario- 
lose. Hlytra much wider than prothorax, widest at base, 
shoulders rounded, the greater part of the surface impunc- 
tate or with microscopic punctures, across basal third 
punctures subseriately arranged, two very feeble sutural 
rows traceable almost to apex; an irregular depression 
behind shoulders. Length 6, width 34mm. 
Hab.—Richmond River (type in Macleay Museum). 
A short robust species, allied to melanospiula and acro- 
leuca ; the former has one, the latter two, whilst the present 
species has four of the terminal joints of the antenne white. 
PHYLLOCHARIS BICEPS, 0.sp. 
Pale testaceous; three spots on head (a transverse one 
between antenne and a small roundish one close to each 
eye), with a narrow U (the convex side towards base) on
