strias rather broader than the others ; body be-neath and legs 

 dark co]Dper, the former nearly glabrous, the latter with a few 

 scattered hairs. Length 5-6 lines. 



In outline approaching A. cisteloides^ Er,, and its allies ; 

 but tlie form of the j)rothorax and the rather peculiar sculp- 

 ture of the elytra make it a very distinct sjDCcies. 



Liciiioma'^ elata. 



L. cuprea, nitida ; elytris profunde puuctato-striatis ; tarsis longius- 

 culis, fulvis. 



Hah. Queensland (Wide Bay, under logs and stones). 



Copper-brown, shining, and finely punctured as in L. nitida 

 [ante, ser. 4. vol. iii. p. 140), but longer, the pro thorax more 

 rounded at the sides, considerably narrower, and much more 

 finely punctured above ; scutellum distinct and triangular ; 

 elytra deeply sulcate, the interstices narrow, but very convex 

 and finely punctured, the punctures continued to the sulci, but 

 scarcely apparent in the sulci themselves ; the most trenchant 

 difference is that the anterior tarsi in both sexes have not the 

 second and third joints short and transverse, as in my speci- 

 mens of Z. nitida^ but triangular, shortly so in one, probably 

 the male, and longer and ovate in the others : in the typical 

 form of the genus the claw-joint is nearly as long as the 

 rest together, while in the present species the four basal joints 

 are together half as long again as the claw -joint ; in both the 

 joints of the antenna3 are connected by short peduncles (or 

 moniliform). Length 5 lines. 



Diiioria'\ cadioides. 



D. cuprea, nitida ; elytris sat late puuctato-striatis, marginibus con- 

 coloribus. 



Hah. Queensland. 



Copper-brown, shining ; head rather finely and distantly 

 punctured ; the clypeus concave in the middle, the suture 

 straight ; prothorax transverse, finely punctured ; scutellum 

 very transverse, short, indistinct ; elytra obovate, rather finely 

 punctate-striate, the intervals between the strite not approxi- 

 mate, flattish, very delicately punctured, the margins and apex 

 concolorous ; body beneath very glossy, reddish chestnut ; legs 

 yellowish testaceous, the bases of the femora chestnut ; palpi 

 and antennte pale ferruginous, the last joint of the latter 

 broadly oval, much shorter than the two preceding together. 

 Length 2| lines.
