crebre, punctulatis ; prothorace quam longiori circiter duplo 
latiori, antice parum angustato, elytris basi haud angustiori, 
lateribus vix arcuatis, angulis anticis sat rotundatis, posticis 
rectis ; prosterno equaliter convexo, antice simplici. Long., 
3 1.; lat. 21. 
A prettily-marked little species ; the general colour of the upper 
surface varies a little, the dark markings being less conspicuous 
on the examples having the ground colour less pallid. The 
markings are as follows:—A small spot on each side of the 
scutellum, the suture (where the infuscation is dilated into a 
large common spot about the middle), and an oblong vitta-like 
dash on either side near the lateral margins, which in some 
examples is dilated at its apex, and connected near its front with 
the median dilatation of the suture. Allied to R. wmbratus, 
Blackb., but differently marked, with the front angles of the pro- 
thorax not at all prominent, &c.; in A. wmbratus these angles, 
though not sharp, are slightly prominent.

B. convexus, sp. nov. Sat late ovalis ; sat convexus; sat nitidus? 
supra pilis argenteis sat crebre vestitus ; nigro-piceus, pro- 
thorace abdomine tarsisque rufis; capite planato, crebre 
subfortiter punctulato; prothorace quam longiori circiter 
duplo latiori, crebre subtilius punctulato, antice angustato, 
ad latera valde deflexo; elytris crebre fortius punctulatis. 
Long., 121. ; lat., 12 1. (vix). 
Considerably less wide and depressed than B. Fourneti, Muls., 
but agreeing with that species in structure, the prosternum being 
prolonged to receive the head in repose, the tibie being very 
strongly dentate externally, and the epipleure having very well- 
defined fovee.

L. subviridis, sp. nov. Late ovalis; sat convevus; nitidus; 
piceo-niger, supra obscure subviridi-micans; subtiliter sat 
crebre punctulatus. Long., 58, 1.; lat., 54 1. (vix). 
Differs from LZ. angulatus, Blackb., in its smaller size, eneous 
tone of colour, base of prothorax not angular in front of the 
scutellum, and in the closer puncturation of its elytra, which is 
uniform with that of the prothorax. 
N.S. W.; taken by Mr. Koebele at Gosford.
