Gloeania ulomoides. (PI. YIII. fig. 9.) 



G. fuseo-picea, subla3vigata ; prothorace antics excavato ; elytris seriatim 

 punctatis. 



Hab. Brazil (Rio). 



Rather depressed, dark pitchy-brown, nearly smooth and shining ; 

 head and prothorax minutely punctured, the latter with a long V-shaped 

 excavation in front, with the side broadly and deeply grooved, the 

 groove bounded internally by a gradually elevated ridge, which ante- 

 riorly forms a well-marked angular process projecting slightly over the 

 head, the external border of the groove formed "by a narrow uniform 

 line, parallel to, and very slightly removed from the margin of the pro- 

 thorax ; scutellum very transverse ; elytra with about seven rows of 

 minute punctures on each, the shoulder with a short broad ridge gra- 

 dually passing into the disc posteriorly ; anterior and intermediate 

 tibiae rounded and denticulate externally at the extremity, with the 

 posterior strongly spurred internally ; body beneath scarcely punc- 

 tured. Length 3 lines.

Leperina adust a. 



L. oblonga, picea, supra albido nigroque squamosa ; elytris postice lati- 

 oribus. 



Hab. Australia (Melbourne). 



Oblong, pitchy-brown, rather sparingly covered above with short, 

 round, whitish scales, varied with black j head and prothorax with 

 large, shallow, crowded punctures with a few white scales, which are 

 more closely arranged on the sides of the latter ; scutellum triangular ; 

 elytra becoming gradually broader behind for about two-thirds of their 

 length, with three elevated lines on each, a broad stripe of whitish 

 scales extending along the suture, giving off a transverse branch at the 

 base, another rather below the middle, and expanding again at the 

 apex ; lip, palpi, antennae, legs, and borders of the prothorax, and 

 elytra beneath ferruginous. Length 4 lines. 



Leperina cirrosa. 

 L. oblonga, picea, supra albo nigroque squamosa, fasciculisque elongatis 



ornata ; elytris parallelis. 

 Hah. Australia (Moreton Bay). 



Oblong, pitchy-brown, covered above with white, and more or less
