scales, however, run on the prothorax more or less distinctly in 

 longitudinal lines, and on the elytra form a figure more or less 

 like a misshapen X ^^'i^^i the apex of one of its arms on each 

 shoulder ; while the scales of darkest colour form a more or less 

 Ijadly-defined somewhat triangular patch on each elytron, having 

 its apex near the middle of the suture, and its base on the 

 lateral margin. Abraded specimens are entirely ferruginous on 

 the upper surface.

 Unfortunately this species is unique in my collection, so that 

 I cannot afford to have its scales removed, but as far as I can 

 judge the underlying sculpture is much the same as in E. Adelaide, 

 except that the ocular lobes are not quite so well developed. 

 Taking the ferruginous scales as forming the ground-colour of 

 the upper surface, the whitish scales are thinly and inconspicuously 

 sprinkled everywhere, and the dark-brown scales form two spots 

 at the base of the prothorax, and cover the greater part of the 

 elytra, so that only the sides and apex are of the lighter colour.

ENIOPEA. 



Through the courtesy of 3Ir. Masters, I have been able to 

 examine some examples of E. amcena, Pasc. I have in my col- 

 lection some specimens (from Albany) of a very closely allied 

 species, but as they are all more or less abraded, I do not feel 

 quite sure that they are specifically distinct from atnoena, so I 

 pass them by for the present, though I feel little doubt of their 

 distinctness. 



The genus presents a good deal of difficulty, because I have 

 species before me from various parts of Australia which do not 

 seem structurally different from the typical species, and yet 

 recede considerably from it in facies. I decide to assign them to 

 Eniopea^ although I think it probable that if Mr. Pascoe had 

 dealt with them he would have treated some of them as requiring 

 new generic names. I call, then, all the species Eniopea (regard- 

 less of their degree of general resemblance to E. amcena) which 

 present the following characters (in addition to those common to 

 all ErirldnincH) : — Funicle seven- jointed, scape not passing front 

 of eye, scrobes lateral, antennal club elongate and having very
