342 Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse on a new Species of Mecynodera. 



The anterior wing measures 10^ millim. and the posterior 

 18^ ; the body in length 7 millim. 



It is probable that the Zanzibar species mentioned by 

 Rogenhofer belongs to this genus rather than to Himan- 

 topterus. 



XXIX. — Description of a new Species of the Coleopterous 

 Genus Mecynodera (Sagridse). By Charles O. Water- 

 house. 



Mecynodera Wickhami, n. sp. 

 Nigra, nitidissima ; thorace femoribusque sanguineis ; elytris rufo- 

 flavis, fascia basali, gutta discoidali et apice nigris. Long. 

 13 lin. 



Very close to M. Balyi, Clk., but larger and broader. The 

 thorax is entirely red, smooth, with a slight impression on 

 the disk behind the middle. The elytra have the basal third 

 black, except the shoulders and a red spot in the middle of 

 the base. The curved impressed line which exists in M. 

 Bah/i is in this species divided into two. There is a 

 black punctured punctiform impression a little behind the 

 middle of each elytron. The whole of the apex is black. 

 The femora are red, except a little black at the base and apex. 

 On the middle area of the elytra some lines of very fine deli- 

 cate punctures may be traced. 



Bab. Queensland. 



Together with the above-described species a specimen of 

 Evrytrachelus arfakianus, Lansb. (C. R. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxiii. 

 1880, p. cxviii) was received. This is the first time any 

 species of this group of Lucanida? has come under my notice 

 from Australia. The species is easily recognized by the 

 incision behind the eyes &c.

Just the plant of Bulliard ; but it is doubtful whether it 

 is really distinct from A. sulphureus. What was formerly
