springing from minute obscure prominences. The striation o£ 

 the elytra is very slight, but the serial puncturation very large 

 and strong, the interstices between the punctate strise very 

 narrow, scarcely convex, smooth, and shining. The transverse 

 infuscation behind the middle is very obscure (in some speci- 

 mens scarcely traceable) ; it crosses the suture, but does not 

 nearly reach the margins. The antennae legs and under-side 

 scarcely differ in colour from the upper surface. 



Much less elongate, and much less narrowed behind than 

 C. DesjarcUnsii, Gruer., with the head and thorax much more 

 coarsely punctured, the antennae differently coloured, &c.: from 

 C. triguttata, Waterh., and C. optata, Olliffe, it differs in the 

 puncturation of its head, and the long erect pubescence with 

 which its whole surface is sparingly clothed. 



Not very uncommon at Port Lincoln.

I do not observe any difference in colour or markings between 



this species and the preceding. It is, however, considerably 



more elongate and narrow, with the puncturation of the head 



evidently stronger and more defined, and that of the prothorax 



very much larger and more sparing. In other respects it 



agrees very well with the description (above) of G. Lindi, 



differing from the other Australian species in respect of the 



same characters that distinguish C. Lindi from them. 



I have taken this insect both at Port Lincoln and near 

 Adelaide.

The single specimen before me of this insect is of a dull 



testaceous colour, the head and thorax reddish; much infuscated, 



but more on one side than the other, so that the infuscation is 



evidently abnormally distributed ; there is a little obsolete 



infuscation about the base of the elytra also. The general 



form is somewhat intermediate between that of the preceding 



two, the prothorax by measurement being comparatively a little 



wider, however, while the head is much more strongly and 



closely punctured than in either of them, and the puncturation
