408 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
separated from the face. Prothorax with sparse, indistinct 
punctures in middle, at sides becoming rather large and 
variolose. Scutellum strongly transverse. Hlytra with 
more than ten irregular rows (sometimes appearing feebly 
geminate) of rather small punctures, becoming smaller (but 
still very distinct) on apical portion, towards the sides feebly 
rugulose. Length 5%, width 22mm. 
Hab.—W.A.: Geraldton. 
A very distinct species, in appearance resembling to a 
certain extent some of the small and highly coloured varie- 
ties of zoptera, but the punctures utterly different to those 
of that species. 
CALOMELA VIRIDIPENNIS, N0.sp. 
Testaceous, extreme margins of prothorax infuscate ; 
elytra bright pale metallic green; scutellum and metas 
ternum, with or without a metallic green gloss. 
Shape and punctures as in the preceding species. Length 
5, width 22mm. 
Hab.—N.W. Australia (Macleay Museum). 
Very close to (perhaps only a variety of) the preceding 
species, but the head and antennz entirely pallid; the elytra ° 
of a pale green (although from some directions appearing 
purple), and not quite so densely punctured, and the punc- 
tures smaller towards the apex. 
CALOMELA NIGRICORNIS, n.sp. 
Pale testaceous ; base of head, antennz (except lower half 
of two basal joints), apical joint of palpi, scutellum, the 
suture (very narrowly), apex of femora and of tibie, and the 
tarsi black or brown; prothorax occasionally with a narrow 
infuscate line, but usually with a minute blackish spot at 
base; each elytron with a wide metallic green (the margins 
purplish) stripe conjoined at apex. Flanks of meso and 
metasternum with distinct silvery pubescence. 
Head moderately densely but irregularly punctate, punc- 
tures smaller and sparse towards and disappearing in middle 
of vertex; clypeus punctate, depressed, and very distinctly 
separated from the face, behind it in middle a narrow im- 
pressed line scarcely extending to the vertex. Prothorax 
with the sides more irregular, and the anterior angles more 
distinctly produced than usual; disc with a few distinct 
punctures, sides with dense variolose punctures. Scutellum 
considerably longer than wide, apex obtusely rounded. 
Elytra noticeably wider than prothorax at base, with ten 
rows of punctures, those beneath the green stripes very large
