BY THE REV R. L. KING, B.A. 15 



The only specimen collected by Mr. Masters is in the 

 Museum. The intricate markings of the thorax and the short 

 glabrous elytra, distinguish this species very readily from its 

 congeners. The base of the thorax is distinctly tuberculate. 



Sp. 26. A. Denisonii. 



Capite piceo punctato polito antennis ferrugineis articulis 

 ultimis piceis ; thorace ferrugineo antice transversim 

 rotundato postice contracto lateribus sub-parallelis ad basin 

 punctato non tuberculato ; elytris pubescentibus vix punc- 

 tatis brunneis fasciis liavis latis duobus, lateribus convexis. 



Long. 0.10. 



Port Denison ; in Mr. MacLeay^s collection. 



Although the thorax is not, or very indistinctly tubercled at 

 the base, yet the general appearance of this species is that of 

 the group under which I have placed it. The latter half of the 

 thorax is nearly cylindrical. The sutural lines are very close to 

 the suture. Another specimen from Port Denison in the same 

 collection, is much lighter in its colour, but in the paucity of 

 specimens, I must place it under the same name. 



I have dedicated the species to our late Governor- General, 

 whose name has been given to the locality from which these 

 specimens have been received. 



Sp. 27. A. diihius. 



Pallide ferruginous politus ; thorace binodoso non tuberculato ; 

 elytris subconvexis flavo-castaneis pubescentibus ; anten- 

 narum basi tarsique flavis. 



Long. 0.07. 



Paramatta ; in grass. 

 I have placed the species in this gi'oup very doubtfully. 

 There are no traces of the thoracic tubercles, though the general 

 contour is that of this group. There are hardly any traces 

 of marking on the elytra, except in some specimens a slight 

 deepening of colour principally due to the transparency of these 

 organs, permitting the abdomen to be seen.
