tiori, 8" parvo vix transverse, 7" 9" 10" que quam latioribus

 transversim subtiliter punctulato-striatis, stria subsuturali

 This species is clearly congeneric with the extraordinary insect 

 on which I founded the genus Cholevomorjjha. It is much 

 smaller and very differently colored, but agrees with it in 

 structural characters ; having most of the characters (including 

 the exposed metathoracic episterna), as well as the general ap- 

 pearance of Choleva, but in combination with hind trochanters 

 quite small and placed as in the Anisoiomides. Like C . picta 

 this species has three claws on the front tarsi of the male, but they 

 are extremely small — one of the external claws much smaller 

 than the other, and the intermediate claw of very different shape 

 appearing as a small triangular projection between the other 

 two. 



Queensland (Mr. Koebele, Cairns). 

 C. atropos, sip. Y\ov. Fem. Sat late ovalis ; sat convoxa ; sub- 

 tiliter sublineatim pubescens ; nitidula ; nigra, antennis 

 (his ad basin testaceis) pedibusque piceo-rufescentibus ; 

 antennis modice gracilibus, clava 5-articulata, articulis 

 8^-10° manifeste trans versis, <"° parvo; prothorace fortiter 

 transverso antice angustato, vix manifeste punctulato ; 

 el3^tris transversim sat fortiter punctulato striatis, stria 

 subsuturali profunde impressa. Long., 41; lat., ^1. (vix). 

 This minute insect is evidently a CholevomorjjJia, but as my 

 unique specimen is a female I am unable to describe its sexual 

 characters. It differs from the two previously described species 

 iQiter alia in size and coloring, in its more conspicuously clubbed 

 antenna? (some of the joints of which are decidedly transverse) 

 and in the much coarser sculpture of its elytra.
