its structure seems clearly torefer it. Its antenne with only 
seven joints (or nine if the club be regarded as three-jointed ; I 
cannot however satisfy myself that it is of more than one joint) 
render it very easy to recognise. In general appearance it bears 
some resemblance to species of the Hrotylid genus Euxestus. The 
excessively coarse granulation of its small eyes is a notable 
character.

EPILACHNA. 
E. Terre-regine, (! £. guttato-pustulate, Fab., var. nov.). Late 
ovalis ; pubescens ; brunneo ferruginea, prothorace ad latera 
flavescenti; hoc crebre fortius sat equaliter, elytris dupliciter

sparsim), punctulatis. Long., 41.; lat., 3.1 
At once distinguishable from all its described congeners of 
Australia and adjacent places by its uniform red-brown color. It 
appears to me to be quite possibly an extreme var. of Z. guttato- 
pustalata, but in any case it seems desirable that even as a variety 
it should bear a distinctive name.

CORLOPHORA. 
C. nigro-vittata, sp. nov. Late ovalis; flavo nigroque variegata ; 
colore nigro in prothorace (ut linea basalis angulatim bis 
dilatata et macula discoidalis papilionis figuram simulans), 
in elytris (ut margo integer, vitte 3—his a sutura disceden- 
tibus ex ordine magis elongatis, et macula subapicalis) in 
epipleuris (ut margo externus), in corpore subtus toto (non- 
nullorum exemplorum prosterni abdominisque parte excepta), 
et in pedibus (nonnullorum exemplorum his nihilominus, 
femoribus posticis exceptis, flavis) disposito; prothorace 
crebre distincte, elytris magis fortiter minus crebre, punctu- 
latis; prosterno medio planatv, antice acuminato, vix 
perspicue bicarinato; metasterno antice truncato. Long., 
24.1.; lat., 24 (vix) 1. 
The bright yellow surface, marked on the elytra with three 
discoidal black vitt, renders this species easily recognisable 
among its congeners. None of the vitte are quite joined to the 
black color of the base; the first vitta is near and parallel to 
the suture and does not extend much beyond the middle of the
