 In my own collection and that of the British Museum, 



This singular insect not having been hitherto figured I have 

 thought it desirable to give a representation of it. Its remarkable 

 eyes distinguish the genus at the first glance. 



Oroderes, new Genus. 



Head slightly produced in front, with the sides parallel. Antennce 

 not so long as the body, filiform ; 1st joint robust, clavate ; 2nd, 

 small, rotundate ; 3rd, as long as the first, subclavate, remainder 

 somewhat shorter, sub-equal. Thorax elongate, cylindrical, armed 

 near the thorax with a row of acute elevated tubercles. Scutel- 

 lum triangular, minute. Elytra a little broader than thorax, not 

 quite so long as the body, gaping at the suture and gradually 

 tapering to a point. Legs short, rather robust. Femora subcla- 

 vate. 



A genus, having a general resemblance to the Macrones group, 

 but essentially differing in the shape of the eyes, structure of an- 

 tennae, &c. 



Oroderes humeralis. (PI. I. fig. 3.) 



Black, with a purplish metallic tint, except the elytra, which 

 are orange at the base, and the abdomen, which has a bright steel 

 blue tint. The first five joints of the antennae are hairy, as well 

 as the head and thorax ; the latter are deeply punctate. Elytra 

 hairy at the base, deeply and irregularly punctate-striate. Ab- 

 domen with the sides parallel, very shining. Legs hairy. 



Hab. New South Wales.
