Gawler ; Mrs. Kretisler. 

 The posterior tarsi are as long as the tibia. The species is 

 subject to considerable variety of coloration, occasionally it is of 

 a light straw colour without any trace of spots on the elytra. 

 The bilobation of the occiput is not constant. The elytra are 

 deeply and closely punctured ; the thorax less deeply. The 

 punctures on the head are smaller and more scattered. 



I have named the species after my old friend, the author of 

 " The Insects of Madeira " and other standard Entomological 

 works. 



Sp. 43. A. varus. 

 Piceus punctatus parce setosus ; thorace subelongato antice 

 rotundato postice minirae • contracto ; elytris elongatis 

 subparallelis 4-maculatis, 2*"*^ maculis rotundatis pone 

 humeros, 2"^"^ pone medium fasciam formantibus, lineis 

 suturalibus notatis ; pedibus flavescentibus. 

 Long. .10. 

 Paramatta. 



This handsome species of which I have but a single specimen, 

 comes very near A. Wollastonii, but may at once be distinguished 

 by its deeper punctures on the elytra and its sutural lines. Like 

 the preceding species, the punctures on the thorax are minute. 



Sp. 44. A. Gaivleri. 



Setosus punctatus ; capite piceo postice rotundato occipite bilo- 

 bato ; thorace bisinuato ferrugineo, superne convexo ; elytris 

 piceis, antice alte punctatis, flavo-fasciatis maculis flavis 

 duabus subrotundatis pone medium ; pedibus flavis, antennis 

 ferrugineis.
