does not seem very closely allied to any other species known 

 to me. I have taken it in some numbers. 

 New South Wales; Blue Mountains. 

 D. crtbra, sp. nov. Mas. Sat nitida ; supra Isete viridis, sub- 

 tus cyanea, antennis (clava obscura excepta) ferrugineis ; 

 supra sat sparsim subtus magis crebre albido-pubescens : 

 capite crebre subtilissime aspera ; clypeo minus lato, 

 modice producto, antice angulatim sat fortiter emargi- 

 nato ; prothorace sat transverso, supra obscure subareo- 

 lato (areolis granula minuta nonnuUa includentibus), 

 sulco longituclinali ab apice ad basin gradatim latiori 

 (parte postica fere subquadrata), sulcis lateralibus sat pro- 

 fundis supra (certo adspectu) conjunctis, lateribus in 

 medio angulatis baud plane dentatis, angulis anticis sub- 

 dentiformibus posticis sat rectis ; scutello longitudinaliter 

 canaliculato, subtiliter punctulato ; elytris crebre minus 

 fortiter [quam D. colaspidoidU, Macl. (? Gyll.), multo 

 magis crebre minus fortiter] sculpturatis, lateribus levi- 

 ter sinuatis ; tibiis anticis antice extus leviter bidentatis, 

 intus inermibus. Long., 2^ 1. : lat., lyV 1- 

 The sculpture of the elytra of this species is not much 

 different from that of D. pygmcea, Waterh. My specimen wa« 

 sent to me by Mr. Lea, without indication of exact hah i fat, 

 as D. purpureitarsis, Macl, which, however, has widely differ- 

 ent sculpture of the pionotum. 



Australia. 

 D. Carteri, sp. nov. Mas. Sat nitida ; obscure viri- 

 dis, plus minusve aureo-micans, antennis pedibusque 

 picescentibus ; supra sat sparsim subtus magis crebre 

 albido-pubescens : capite cum pronoto confertim subtilis- 

 sime aspero : olypeo lato, transversim quadrato, antice 

 reflexo sat profunde emarginato ; prothorace sat fortiter 

 transverso, supra sulco longitudinali subobsoleto sed sat 

 lato, sulcis lateralibus sat magnis vix profundis supra nullo 

 modo conjunctis lateribus in medio angulatis (angulis 

 subdentiformibus), angulis anticis subdentiformibus pos- 

 ticis subrectis ; scutello sat piano sat aequali, confertim 

 aspero ; elytris crebre minus fortiter ["quam D. roln^pidoi- 

 dis, Macl. ( ? Gyll-) multo magis crebre paullo minus for- 

 titer] puctulatis, vix perspicue costulatis, lateribus sinu- 

 atis, tibiis, anticis antice extus bidentatis intus inermibus.

Allied to D. Spencei, Waterh., but much less strongly 

 sculptured, and of duller colourins:. The longitudinal sulcus 

 of the pronotum is remarkably faint, and does not increase in 

 width hindward in any considerable degree. Such as it is.
