Adelaide and Gawler ; South Australia. 

 An insect very variable in colour of elytra. Mrs. Kreusler 

 has sent me a specimen from Gawler, and Mr. MacLeay has also 

 received it from Mr. Odewahn, of the same place. 



Sp. 21. A. imifasciatus . 



■ Piceo-ferrugineus nitidus thorace bisinuato antice polito postice 

 alte punctato ad basin bi-tuberculato ; elytris ovatis punctu- 

 latis brunneis, fascia flava pone humeros unica ; antennis et 

 pedibus ferrugineis. 

 Long. 0.10. 

 Gawler ; South Australia. 



A very pretty species near A. prcedator, distinguished from its 

 Australian congeners, by its single broad yellowish fascia behind 

 the omoplates. There is no appearance of spots elsewhere. It 

 appears to be not uncommon. 



The name unifasciatus has been used by Schmidt, but as it 

 appears to have been applied to the previously described A. venus- 

 tus (Villa) ; this name so descriptive of the present species is 

 again at liberty. 



Sp. 22. A. hellus. 



Piceus politus capite nigro subtilissime punctato ; thorace 

 pone medium valde compresso ad basin punctato 2-tuber- 

 culato ; elytris nigro-piceis lateribus convexis raacuHs 

 duabus humeralibus testaceis, duabas alteris pone medium ; 

 tarsis flavis. 



Long. .10. 



Paramatta ; not uncommon. 



It is very near A. convptus, but the spots on the elytra, though 

 very variable in size, never appear to unite as in that species. I 

 frequently capture it upon the roof of the house and among the 

 dead leaves and sand in the gutters. It is a very pretty and 

 active species.
