CHRYSOMELID#. 40] 
Var. IMMACULATA. 
Elytra entirely black. 
Specimens from Moreton Bay present the above difference 
from 10-maculata. I am unable to state, however, which is 
the species and which the variety, although I have placed 
the immaculate specimens as the variety. Each is repre- 
sented by two specimens in the Macleay Museum. 
PHYLLOCHARIS FICUS, D.sp. 
Head, prothorax, and apical fourth of elytra (triangularly 
encreached upon along suture), and prosternum clear tes- 
taceous; scutellum and elytra deep blue, the blue some 
times encroaching on middle of base of prothorax; sterna, 
basal segments of abdomen, and legs obscure piceous-blue ; 
antenne entirely black, but with a slight bluish gloss. 
Head impunctate, a fine depressed line on each side be- 
tween eyes; clypeus widely triangular, finely punctate. An- 
tenn stout, extending to posterior coxe. Prothorar trans- 
versely impressed at: base, impunctate except for a few of 
moderate size at sides of base. Hlytra with series of small 
punctures, becoming very small posteriorly. Length 54, 
width 3mm. 
Hab.—N.S8.W.: Dalmorton (on Ficus sp.), Richmond 
River; Q.: Moreton Bay (Macleay Museum). 
One of the smallest and prettiest species of the genus, and 
: oe ae a 
strongly resembling Lamprolina grand: in miniature. 
PHYLLOCHARIS HIEROGLYPHICA, N.sp. 
Metallic blue, with a slight greenish gloss; base of head, 
sides of prothorax (a small bluish spot on each side), three 
bands or patches on elytra, prosternum, middle of metas 
ternum, and three apical and sides of basal segments of 
abdomen testaceous; legs bluish; antenne bluish-black. 
Head impunctate on vertex, sparsely and irregularly else- 
where; clypeal suture distinct, each side oblique, from 
middle a groove extending backwards, but not to vertex, 
from each side an oblique impression continued to eye. 
Prothoraz with microscopic punctures, and with small punc- 
tures scattered about, and becoming subvariolose at base and 
at sides towards base. H/lytra with irregular series of dis- 
tinct and not very small but deep punctures, larger behind 
shoulders than, elsewhere, and becoming smaller (but still 
distinct) towards apex. Length 64, width 34mm. 
Hab.—N.Q.: Somerset (Mr. C. French), Cairns (Macleay 
Museum).
