verse prothorax, the finer puncturation and less elevated inter- 
stices of its elytra, and the distinct prominence (in a downward 
direction) of its humeral angles. 
S. Australia ; taken by Mr. Zietz near Lake Callabonna. 
P. intermedia, sp. nov. Fem. Ovata; modice nitida; convexa ; 
testacea, elytris rufescentibus ; capite sat crebre sat subtil- 
iter punctulato, longitudinaliter impresso; antennis quam 
corporis dimidium longioribus, articulo 3° quam 1° multo 
longiori ; prothorace quam longiori paullo magis quam duplo 
Jatiori, antice sinuatim fortiter emarginato, postice bisinuato, 
in disco sat fortiter minus crebre (ad latera crasse) punct- 
ulato, interstitiis sparsim subtilissime punctulatis, lateribus 
modice arcuatis leviter bisinuatis, angulis anticis mucronatis 
posticis fere nullis ; elytris quam latioribus vix longioribus, 
fortiter minus crebre punctulatis, interstitiis (parte circa 
scutellum posita excepta) fortiter confertim subseriatim ver- 
rucosis, angulis humeralibus (a latere visis) sat rotundatis 
deorsum manifeste productis; prosterni parte mediana minus 
lata, longitudinaliter suleata. Long., 521; lat. 41. 
This is a remarkable species, linking Dr. Chapuis’ first group of 
Paropsis to his fourth group. The sculpture of its elytra is almost 
exactly as in P. aspera, Chp. (of the fourth group), excepting in 
the verruce of the alternate interstices not being markedly dif- 
ferent from those of the other interstices, and the seriate arrange- 
ment of the verruce being less regular. The disposition of the 
sculpture cannot without qualification be called either “confused” 
or “seriate,” but I think the bisinuation of the sides of the pro- 
thorax should settle the doubt in favor of the first group. The 
puncturation of the elytra is almost invisible except near the 
scutellum, being buried in the deep interstices of the verruce,

CANDEZEA. 
C’. Leai, sp. nov. Oblonga; rufo-testacea, antennis (basi excepta) 
et elytrorum macula magna mox ante apicem posita nigro- 
piceis, tarsis plus minusve infuscatis ; antennarum articulo 
basali quam 4" vix breviori 3° quam 2" vix longiori; capite 
prothorace que vix manifeste, elytris crebre subtiliter, punct- 
ulatis ; corpore subtus parce pubescenti ; epipleuris postice 
anguste fere ad apicem continuatis. Long.. 2 1; lat., 9, 1. 
This species is easily recognisable by its color and markings, 
but I have some hesitation in referring it to Candezea. Dr. Baly 
(Jour. Linn. Soc. xx.) thinks that the prolongation of the elytral 
epipleure is not inconsistent with Monolepta. Jacoby (Ann. 
Mus. Genov. 1886, p. 116), on the contrary, argues that all the 
so-called Monolepte having the epipleure prolonged should be
