404 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
CALOMELA CCLESTIS, n.sp. 
Bright violet-blue, the scutellum with a slight greenish 
tinge ; legs, antenne (the five terminal joimts infuscate), and 
palpi bright reddish-testaceous. 
Head rather densely and irregularly punctate; median 
line feebly impressed; clypeal suture semi-circular, and 
more or less interrupted by punctures. /Prothorax with 
large subvariolose punctures at sides, becoming smaller to 
and almost absent on middle of disc; with very minute 
punctures scattered about. Hlytra with numerous rows of 
rather small punctures, larger behind shoulders than else- 
where, towards suture becoming so arranged as almost to 
form geminate strie ; interstices in places very feebly raised, 
and with very minute scattered punctures. Length 6, 
width 3mm. 
Hab.—Port Denison (types in Macleay Museum). 
The entirely blue colour (except for the appendages) will 
readily distinguish this from all previously described species. 
It is a narrow species, in build resembling amethystina, but 
narrower, and with a proportionately wider head. 
CALOMELA NIGRIPENNIS, 0.sp. 
Head, prothorax (the extreme margins with a coppery 
gloss), legs, antenne (the apical joints infuscate), and palpi 
red; scutellum and elytra bronzy-black; under-surface (in- 
cluding elytral epipleure) dull red, with a greenish or 
coppery gloss. 
Head moderately densely but not coarsely punctate, punc- 
tures denser between eyes than elsewhere; clypeus punctate, 
its suture angular, from its middle a scarcely impressed but 
impunctate line extending backwards almost to the base. 
Prothorax moderately densely punctate, punctures deep but 
not very large, larger at sides than in middle, and every- 
where manifesting a tendency to form in feeble clusters; 
minute punctures scattered about. Hlytra irregularly im- 
pressed behind the shoulders, with ten feebly geminate rows 
of small punctures, no smaller towards apex than elsewhere, 
but more crowded and irregular; interstices not raised, im- 
punctate. Length 64, width 44mm. 
Hab.—Rockhampton (types in Macleay Museum). 
In build, punctures, &c., closely resembling ruficeps, but 
readily distinguished from that species by its red prothorax.
