antice subangulatis ; elytris minus sericeis, striatis, inter- 
stitiis convexis (3° 3-punctato). Long. 24 1; lat., 1 1. (vix). 
Easily distinguishable by its uniform dark-blue color and by 
the absence of the appearance of silky tessellation on the elytra. 
These characters give it somewhat the general aspect of a 
Catascopus, but it seems to be a true Scopodes. The shape of the 
prothorax is more like that of tasmaniceus than of any other 
species known to me, but the segment is less transverse than in 
tasmanicus, and is considerably more narrowed behind, with more 
explanate hind angles.

S. intermedius, sp. nov. Ovalis vel leviter ovatus; nigro- 
sericeus, elytris tessellatis, pedibus antennarumque basi 
luridis, illis plus minusve fulvo-variegatis; capite supra 
longitudinaliter sat fortiter striolato; prothorace quam caput 
angustiori, supra crebre sat distincte nec ordinatim striolato, 
modice transverso, angulis posticis sat fortiter dentiformibus, 
latitudine majori mox pone marginem anticum posita, later- 
ibus ante medium fortiter angulatis (angulis subdentiform- 
ibus); elytris striatis interstitiis convexis sinuato-subinter- 
ruptis (3° 3-foveolato). Long., 2—22 1. ; lat., =,—1 1. 
This species has much the appearance of S. sigillatus, Germ., 
from which it differs chiefly by its considerably larger size and 
darker color, and by the much greater convexity of its elytral 
interstices (including the suture).

S. flavipes, sp. nov. Ovalis; sat nitidus; eneo-subauratus, 
sericeus, elytris plus minusve tessellatis, antennis pedibusque 
(tarsis vix infuscatis) flavo-testaceis ; capite supra longi- 
tudinaliter striolato; prothorace quam caput angustiori, 
supra crebre subtiliter nec ordinatim striolato, modice trans- 
verso, angulis posticis sat fortiter dentiformibus, latitudine 
majori mox pone marginem anticum posita, lateribus ante 
medium fortiter angulatis (angulis subdentiformibus) ; elytris 
striatis, apice suturali subproducto, interstitiis vix convexis 
(3° 3-foveolato). Long., 2 1.; lat., =5 1. 
This species is another ally of sigillatus, compared with which 
it is a little larger, and more nitid, with a more golden tone of 
color; with legs and antenne entirely yellow except a slight 
infuscation of the tarsi. The prothorax resembles that of szgz/- 
latus, except in the base being differently shaped ; in szgillatus 
the hinder edge of the projecting hind angle runs obliquely hind- 
ward and inward so that the outline of that part of the pro- 
thoracic margin which is in front of the projecting hind angle is 
continued almost in the same direction for a short distance
