104 Mr. F. P. Pascoo on Addttiotis to 



More convex than D. /x'ctn, and the eyes not quito so lonnd. 

 The scutolhim of the hitter was, from sonic oversight, stated 

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

 so transverse, although much more distinct than in the present 

 species. 



Seirotra n a * Mcistcrsii. 



S. obloii,2:a, ciiprco-mctallica ; protlioracc subplanato, marsinibus 

 intcjjris ; clytris ovatis, liucis intorniptis elevatis, intcrstitiis bi- 

 soriatim sub- vage punctatis. 



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, miinitely punctm-ed, 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 biseriately 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 

 el^'tra like that of S. catemdata. 



Seirotrana nosodermoides. 



S. subplanata, fusca. indumonto umbriiio dense tecta ; prothoraco 

 lato, apice profundc oraargiiiato, utrinque crenato ; clytris intor- 

 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 ])roduced, passing 

 beyond the eyes, tlie 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 Avitli finer lines of the same charac- 

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

 spaces irregularly punctured ; body Ijcneath with an easily
