104 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Additions to 



More convex tlian D. picta, and the eyes not quite so round. 

 The scutellum of the latter was, from some oversight, stated 

 to be " narrowly," instead of broadly, triangular, but it is not 

 so transverse, although much more distinct than in the present 

 species. 



Seirotrana * Mastersii. 



S. oblouga, cupreo-metallica ; prothorace subplanato, margiuibus 

 integris ; elytris ovatis, lineis interruptis elevatis, interstitiis bi- 

 seriatim sub- vage puuctatis. 



Hah. Queensland (Wide Bay, under logs in dense scrubs). 



Oblong, shining metallic copper ; head roughly punctured, 

 the clypeus broad, truncate anteriorly ; prothorax nearly flat 

 above, minutely punctured, with a few much larger punctiform 

 impressions irregularly scattered, the sides rounded, but a little 

 incurved towards the base, the margins with a raised linear 

 border; scutellum transversely triangular; elytra slightly 

 convex, ovate, each with four raised interrupted lines, the in- 

 tervals between them biseriatcly punctured, the punctures 

 rather small and not approximate ; body beneath and legs 

 glabrous, brassy, and very glossy. Length 9 lines. 



A fine and very distinct species, with the sculpture of the 

 elytra like that of 8. cafenulafa. 



Seirotrana nosodermoides. 



S. subplanata, fusca, indumento umbriuo dense tecta; prothorace 

 lato, apice profunde emarginato, utriuque creuato ; elytris iuter- 

 rupte costulatis. 



Hah. Queensland (Wide Bay, under logs). 



Rather flattish above, dark brown, covered with a dense 

 umber-brown scaly crust, readily peeling off; head roughly 

 impressed, a stout ridge on each side in front of the eye, 

 meeting on the vertex, and forming with the clypeus a tri- 

 angular space ; prothorax longer than broad, the disk with 

 five broadly impressed longitudinal grooves, the apex widely 

 and deeply emarginate, the anterior angles produced, passing 

 beyond the eyes, the sides coarsely crenated, and forming an 

 obtuse angle at the middle, then slightly incurved to the base; 

 scutellum semicircular ; elytra ovate, each with five interrupted 

 elevated lines, alternating with finer lines of the same charac- 

 ter, the inner nearly contiguous to the suture, the intermediate 

 spaces irregularly punctured ; body beneath with an easily 

 displaced reddish-brown crust ; the legs with scattered ad- 

 pressed hairs. Length 6 lines.
