44 On new Genera and Species o/* Tenebrionidse. 



ginibus prothoracis crenatis ; elytris liiieis interruptis elevatis, et 

 granulis minutis seriatim interpositis. 



Hab. '■'■ Mountains of Victoria." 



Light reddish brown, subopaque above, with numerous glossy- 

 granulations of various sizes ; antenna dark brown ; head 

 finely granulate ; prothorax longer than broad, nearly flat, 

 closely covered with small irregular granulations, the margins 

 pale yellowish brown and crenate ; scutellum nearly hidden 

 by the overlapping base of the prothorax ; elytra nearly flat, 

 except towards the apex, where they bend down rather sud- 

 denly, a little wider than the prothorax at the base, the sides 

 subparallel ; the disk with granulations mostly of two sizes, 

 the largest (of a dark amber-colour) forming interrupted lines, 

 of which there are four on each elytron ; between these lines 

 are rows, generally three in number, of small round ones ; 

 body beneath thickly granulated ; legs light reddish brown, 

 femora with a broad yellow ring near the apex ; tarsi slender, 

 flliform. Length 5-6 lines. 



A remarkable species, somewhat departing from the normal 

 form in the longer prothorax and very slender tarsi. Seiro- 

 trana is distinguished from Adelium by its prothorax closely 

 a])plied to the elytra, and the shortness of the third antennary 

 joint, and from Coripera by the complete or nearly complete 

 absence of the epipleural fold ; it is barely to be noticed in the 

 above species, being indicated by a very nan-ow line nearly in 

 the middle of the epipleura.

C. cupreo-fusca, nitida ; elytris biscriatim impressis, interstitiis an- 

 nulis oblongis impressis, marginibus disci flavis. 



Hah. Mount Macedon (Victoria). 



Dark copper-brown; head finely and irregularly punctured; 

 prothorax with minute shallow punctures, its lateral margins 

 paler ; scutellum small, transverse ; elytra nearly flat above, 

 each with seven rows of small punctures, the two outer on the 

 epi])leural line, the inner bordering the suture, the foui' inter- 

 mediate lines placed in pairs, each pair and the sutural and 

 marginal rows separated by a line of oblong impressed rings ; 

 the disk bordered with yellowish ; body beneath and legs very 

 glossy brown ; antennge and tarsi ferruginous, the latter very 

 slender, filiform. Length 4-5 lines. 



(Jlosely agreeing in form with C. deplanata^ Boisd., but very 

 distinct on account of the ])eculiar sculpture of the elytra. In 

 my dcscri})tion of the gemis Coripera the term epi|)leura was
