106 On the Tcnclivioiiid.v of Australia &r. 



A mari/f/inus ranO/an's. 



A. subangiisto ovatus, ncreus, subnitidiis -, clytris punctis distim-tis- 

 simis irrogulariter dispcrsis. 



Ifab. Queensland (Wide Bay, under the bark of trees). 



Rather naiTOwly ovate, yellowish brassy, not yery glossy ; 

 head rather broad, finely and somewhat sparingly punctured ; 

 antennae brownish chestnut, the third joint shorter than the 

 two next together ; prothorax strongly transverse, finely punc- 

 tured ; scutelhun triangular ; elytra oblong, moderately con- 

 vex, the sides very gradually narrowing from the base, more 

 rapidly rounding towards the apex, with opaque, dark-greenish, 

 irregularly disj)ersed, and somewhat distant punctures ; body 

 beneath yellowish brassy, shining ; legs glossy brownish chest- 

 nut. Length 3| lines. 



One of the most distinct species of the genus, on account of 

 the peculiar sculpture of the eh^ra. Of the two specimens 

 which I received from Mr. Masters, one (the male?) has the 

 three basal joints of the anterior tarsi short and strongly di- 

 lated, — while in the other they are very slender and elongate ; 

 the antennas are also almost linear, with the outer joints ob- 

 long : in the former the antcnnre are imperfect, but they appear 

 to he stouter. 



EURYPERA. 



(Subfamily Amartomin^.) 



Capt(t ad oculos retractxim. 

 \Oct(h' supra baud approxiniati. 

 Tarsi subtus pilosi. 



Exce])t that the body is shorter and more convex, the rest 

 of the character is as in Ainarygmus. The terminal joint of 

 the labial pal])i is so large as nearly to cover the labium ; but 

 this is only a modification of the Amarygmus-c\\axSiCiQV. 



Eurypera ciijirea. 



E. cupreo-metallica, nitida ; aiitennis, pedibus, corpore infra, nigris, 

 glabris. 



Hah. Queensland (Port Denison). 



Reddish copper, shining ; head finely and rather sparingly 

 punctured ; upper lip black, connected with the clypeus by a 

 bright orange membrane ; prothorax very transverse, gradually 

 broader and rounded at the sides, the a])cx moderately emar- 

 ginate, the disk covered with fine distant punctures ; scutellum 

 triangular ; elytra not broader than the ])rothorax at the base, 

 strongly rounded at the sides, finely sulcate, the sulci black,
