92 THE INSECTS OF GAYNDAH, 



antennae, the palpi, and the tibiae, yellow. The head is closely 

 covered with longitudinal striolas. The thorax has the same 

 sculpture, but with the striolse in all directions, giving it a very 

 rugose appearance, its surface is flat, and not canaliculated, with 

 the apex and base truncated sharply, and with the sides, angled and 

 furnished with a long seta at its widest part which is above the 

 middle. The elytra are opaque, with a slight silvery reflection in 

 patches, they have several irregular depressions on their surface, 

 and are covered with rows of small rather distant punctures, each 

 occupied by a silvery white scale.

Length 2 lines. 

 Glossy black, eyes very large, thorax smooth, canaliculate, 

 widened in the middle where it forms an angle and is furnished 

 with a long seta, and much narrowed at the base with tho posterior 

 angles rounded. The elytra are finely striated with distinct 

 punctures in the striae, the interstices are flat and broad. 



41. — ScOPODES ANGULICOLLIS. n. Sp. 



Length 2 lines. 

 The sculpture of the head and thorax is the same in this 

 species as in S. ceneus. But the thorax is broad, rounded at the 

 anterior angles, and very slightly narrowed at the posterior angles, 

 which are sharp and recurved, while on each side there are two 

 setigerous punctures, one at the widest point a little below the 

 anterior angles, the other at the posterior angles. The elytra are 

 lightly striated, the striae are rather irregular and crooked, the 

 interstices are broad and rounded. 



The thorax of this species is quite like that of a Lebia in form. 



42. — ScOPODES AUftATDS. n. sp.

 Of a bronzy hue, with patches of golden yellow, especially on 

 the elytra, and with the antennae, palpi and legs reddish. The head
