CHRYSOMELIDS. 419 
moderately distinct, owing to infuscation ; towards base dis- 
tinctly, elsewhere feebly transversely, strigose. Length 
54mm. 
Hab.—N.8.W.: Inverell. 
Of the size of Dohrni, rutdus, and murinus, but very dif- 
ferently marked. 
ELAPHODES OBLONGUS, n.sp. 
Briefly oblong-ovate; clothed with pale yellowish hair, 
rather longer, sparser, and darker on upper than on under 
surface; head with longer hairs (almost concentrically ar- 
ranged) than elsewhere. Reddish-brown ; antennz, legs, and 
abdomen paler; elytra reddish, with markings the colour of 
prothorax. 
Densely punctate all over; punctures, especially of head 
and prothorax, clearly cut. Basal lobe of prothorax slightly 
notched. LElytra striate—strongly at sides, feebly towards 
middle; shoulders and basal portion of suture feebly trans- 
versely wrinkled. Length 4-42mm. 
Hab.—Thursday Island (Macleay Museum). 
Regarding the paler portions as forming the ground- 
colour of the elytra, the brown markings consist of a rather 
narrow basal fascia, which opens out into an elliptic spot on 
suture (and which does not quite extend to middle), a post- 
median fascia rather broad towards sides, and narrowed to- 
wards suture, and extending to apex from suture and sides, 
so that a somewhat triangular space is enclosed near the 
apex of each elytron. Appears to be close to amictus, but 
is larger, and the elytral markings not black; rufovarius is 
described as having the elytra trifasciate.
