depresso; spatio depresso antice acuminato, utrinque sub- 
tiliter carinato. Long., 1 1.; lat., #41. 
In my tabulation this species stands beside #. ceruleus, 
Blackb., from which inter alia its very different puncturation 
readily separates it. Apart from color it is near A. discipennis 
differing inter alia by the stronger and much less close punctura- 
tion of its elytra. 
N. Queensland ; taken by Mr. Koebele near Cairns. 
R. subaustralis, sp. nov. Oblongo-ovalis ; minus convexus; sat 
nitidus ; pube brevi albida sat erecta vestitus ; rufus, elytris 
(margine laterali sat anguste rufo excepto) piceo-nigris ; 
capite prothoraceque leviter (nec subtiliter) sat crebre, 
elytris sat fortiter sat crebre eequaliter nec rugulose, punctu- 
latis ; prosterno equaliter convexo. Long., 2 1.; lat., 1,3, 1. 
This species is closely allied to R. australis, Blackb., but is 
considerably smaller and inter alia its elytra are evenly and 
not at all rugulosely punctulate (in FR. australis large and small 
punctures are crowded together in a manner that gives an ap- 
pearance of rugulosity). 
N. Queensland ; taken by Mr. Koebele near Cairns.
