406 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
apex, and base (more or less narrowly) of prothorax, on scu- 
tellum, suture, base, and epipleure of elytra, and from 
some directions on disc. Any part of the elytra, however, 
can be made to appear purple, and almost any part a 
coppery-green ; the middle of the prothorax is of a more or 
less fiery copper or coppery rose colour, toning off into 
various shades of green and blue. 
A specimen from Wide Bay, in the Macleay Museum, is 
possibly a variety of this species; its colour appears to be 
the same. but it is slightly less compact in build, and with 
stronger punctures on clypeus and sides of the prothorax. 
The punctures are finer and sparser (very much sparser in 
middle of prothorax), the colour (noticeably that of the 
antenne and legs) is different, and the whole insect is more 
compact than punctifrons. It might, however, be regarded 
as a variety of either’ species, or as representing an as yet 
undescribed one. I can by no means regard fugitiva as a 
variety of punctifrons. 
CALOMELA MONOCHROMATEA, N.sp. 
Bright brownish-red; antenne (except basal joints) in- 
fuscate ; each seriate puncture on the elytra surrounded by 
a watery ring. 
Head with fine irregular punctures; clypeus separated 
from the face bya fine, semi-circular, slightly irregular punc- 
tured line. Vrothorax more than twice as wide as long; 
with rather sparse minute punctures, disc and extreme base 
with scattered moderately large punctures. Hlytra slightly 
wider than prothorax, feebly imcurved behind shoulders ; 
with ten rows of small punctures, becoming very minute 
on apical third; interstices with sparse and minute but 
fairly distinct punctures. Length 64, width 3}mm. 
Hab.—Q: Barron Falls (Mr. A. Koebele). 
The shape is much the same as that of flavescens, but the 
colour is very much darker, the prothorax is more irregularly 
punctate, and the elytra are slightly sinuous behind the 
shoulders. The watery rings around the seriate punctures 
on the elytra are invisible from most directions. 
CALOMELA INTEMERATA, 0.Sp, 
Entirely (except for the eyes) pale lemon-yellow. 
Head rather densely and coarsely punctate, punctures 
finer on vertex than elsewhere; clypeus distinctly separated 
from the face, and impunctate. Prothorax with moderately 
fine punctures on disc, becoming larger and subvariolose
