258 THE INSECTS OF GAYNDAH, 



middle, narrowed and rounded at the apex, scarcely longer than 

 twice the width, striate, and densely covered with scales, those 

 near the scutellum being of a golden tinge, and on the sides and 

 apex of a silvery white, while a broad fascia behind the middle, — 

 which extends upwards in a narrow vitta along the suture and 

 spreads outwards on each side into a half-circle, — and two sub- 

 apical spots are formed of black scales. The antennae have the 

 first joint red, the remainder brown. The legs are pale red. The 

 tarsi brown. 



483. — Cardiophorus Mastersii. n. sp. 

 Length 2 lines. 

 Entirely testaceous yellow, opaque, finely punctate, and clothed 

 with a long pale yellow pubescence. Thorax not longer than the 

 width, and a little wider behind than in front, with the posterior 

 angles short, subacute, and not carinated. Scutellum elongate- 

 cordiform. Elytra paler than the thorax, very densely pubescent, 

 not longer than twice the width, striato-punctate, and narrowed 

 and rounded at the apex. 



484. CORYMBITES RUFIPENNIS. n. Sp. 



Length 4 lines. 

 Nitid, punctate, and black, with the basal articles of the 

 antennae, the palpi, the sides and under surface of the prothorax, 

 the elytra, and the legs, red. Head with a curved transverse 

 depression on the forehead. Thorax not longer than the width, 

 with the median line marked near the base, and with the pos- 

 terior angles rather short, acute, and carinate. Elytra longer 

 than twice the width, roughly punctate, and deeply striated. 

 Apex of abdomen reddish. 



485. — CORTMBITES NIGRINUS. n. sp. 



Length 3| lines. 

 Differs from the last in size, in having the elytra less nar- 

 rowed towards the apex, and in being entirely black excepting 

 the posterior angles and under side of thorax, the abdomen, and 

 the legs which are reddish, and the antennas which are brown. 

 Probably the male of the last species.
