Hah. Lizard Island. 



Allied to L. suhfasciatus ; but the elytra are without any 

 nodes or callosities. The two species differ from most of their 

 congeners in having a second line of punctures at the Lase, 

 near the scutellum. 



Leptops hypocrita. 



L. ovatus, niger, sriuamis albido-griseis, aliquando pallide viridi- 



metallicis, sat dense tectus ; rostro modice elongate, in medio 

 canaliculato, lateraliter leviter longitiidinaliter excavato ; scrobi- 

 bus subflexuosis ; antennis tenuatis, cinereo-pubescentibus, clava 

 nigra ; prothorace transverse, utrinque rotundato, in medio antice 

 paulo impresso, postice obsolete carinulato ; scutello parvo ; ely- 

 tris ampliatis ( 5 sola) singulatim tubcrculato-tiicarinatis, carina 

 extima tuberculo primo prominulo, inter carinas punctis remotia 

 in seriebus dnobus instructis, apicibus subacuminatis ; corpore 

 infra pedibusque dense squamosis, pilis longioribus vestitis. 

 Long. 4|-5^ lin. 



Hah. South Australia. 



This is the most abnormal in appearance of all the specie 

 of this polymorphous genus. There were four or five speci- 

 mens in the collection of Mr. Wilson, of Adelaide. 



Leptops tetraphysodes. 



L. ovatus, fuscus, ubique densissime griseo-squamosus ; rostro capite 

 duplo longiore, supra bisulcato ; antennis attenuatis, scapo oculum 

 paulo superante, funiculo art. duobus basalibus sequentibus plus 

 duplo longioribus ; oculis subovatis ; prothorace oblongo, augusto, 

 subcj'lindrico, supra modice convexo, sat confertim tiiberculato ; 

 elytris brcviter ovatis, elevato-convexis. prothorace multo latiori- 

 bus, striato-punctatis, striis subtlexuosis, punctis sat remotis, 

 interstitiis latis, apicibus acuminatis, singulis elytris sex-tubcrcu- 

 latis, tuberculis tribus minoribus ante medium oblique sitis, duo- 

 bus majoribus, quorum intimo validiore, postice, alteroque versus 

 apiccra, sitis ; sternis femoribusquo squamis elongatis adspersis ; 

 tibiis tarsisque setulosis. Long. 4 lin. 



Hah. Queensland. 



A peculiar species, owing to its strongly convex elytra and 

 the apparent absence of a scutellum ; this part, however, is 

 clearly present in individuals when the scales surrounding it 

 have been removed. In some respects it is like Amisalhn, 

 from which it is distinguished by the cavernous corbels oi the 

 posterior tibite.
