strife rather broader than the others ; body beneath and legs 

 dark copper, the former nearly .ulabrous, tlie latter with a few 

 scattered hairs. Lenc^th 5-G lines. 



In outline approaching A. ci'steloides, Er., and its allies; 

 but the form of the prothorax and the rather ])eculiar sculp- 

 ture of the el}i:ra make it a very distinct species. 



Licinoma'^ elata. 

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

 culis, fulvis. 

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



Copper-brown, shininq-, and finely punctured as inZ. nitida 

 (rtn^e, ser. 4. vol. iii. p. 140), but longer, the prothorax more 

 rounded at the sides, considerably narrower, and much more 

 finely punctured above ; scutellum distinct and triangular ; 

 elyti-a deeply sulcate, the interstices naiTOW, 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 L. 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 

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

 joints of the antennaj are connected by short peduncles (or 

 moniliform). Length 5 lines. 



Dinoria'f ccelioides. 

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

 coloribus. 



Ilah. Queensland. 



Copper-brown, shining j head rather finely and distantly 

 punctured ; the clypeus concave in the middle, the suture 

 straight ; prothorax transverse, finely punctui-ed ; scutellum 

 ver}' transverse, short, indistinct ; elytra obovate, rather finely 

 punctate-striate, the intervals between the striaj 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 antenujB pale feiTUginous, the last joint of the latter 

 broadly oval, much shorter than the two preceding together. 

 Length 2| lines.
