416 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
a coppery gloss; legs metallic coppery; antenne pale 
yellow. 
Head finely and sparsely punctate; clypeus separated 
form the face by a deep groove, from the middle of which 
an impressed line extends backwards to the base. Pro- 
thoraz about twice as wide as long; disc impunctate, base 
(except in middle) with a few moderately large punctures, 
each side near base and each side near the anterior angles 
with a few punctures. Z/ytra with regular rows of small 
punctures, becoming smaller towards apex ; interstices with 
sparse minute punctures, behind shoulders moderately trans- 
versely impressed. Length 8%, width 54mm. 
Hab.—N.Q.: Barron Falls (Mr. A. Koebele), Cairns 
(Macleay Museum). 
The shape approaches that of prasina; the coppery tone 
of the legs is continued even to the tarsi. 
STETHOMELA CHLOROP HANA, N.sp. 
*. Upper-surface of a delicate pale (almost transparent) 
green; scutellum, under-surface, legs (the third tarsal joint 
brown or not), antennz (the terminal and basal joints feebly 
infuscate), and muzzle pale yellow, and with or without a 
feeble greenish tinge. 
Head feebly punctate, a feeble impression in middle 
starting from clypeal suture, but not extending to vertex. 
Prothorazx scarcely twice as wide as long, with very minute 
punctures, and with scattered larger punctures, except on 
disc. Hlytra with series of moderate-sized punctures, placed 
at irregular intervals, but never very close, and becoming 
very small towards apex; interstices scarcely visibly punc- 
tate; behind shoulders very feebly impressed, but the 
punctures there larger than elsewhere. ‘Length 5, width 
23mm. 
Hab.—N.8.W.: Clarence River. 
A singularly delicate species, allied to prasina, but differ- 
ng considerably in the size and punctures. The locality 
given is the most southerly record as yet for the genus. 
STETHOMELA PRASINA, Baly. 
This species sometimes has the head and prothorax con- 
colourous with the under-surface, sometimes the prothorax 
is tinged with pale green on all its borders, and sometimes 
it is entirely green, 
* Male.
