Genera and Species 0/ Coleoptcra. 4'J] 



M. Bohemann's genus Euomma* is, I luive no (loulit, identical 

 witli my u'ipeUatus {ante, p. 45), notwithstanding the author ap- 

 proximating it to Eutrajjcla, entirely overlooking its pectinated 

 claws, and the form of the last antennal joint. Euomma has, how- 

 ever, been long used for a genus of Curculionida) ; but as we have 

 both happened to fix on the same name for the two species we have 

 respectively described, it becomes necessary' to change mine as the 

 later of the two. I propose, therefore, to call it ApeUatus amienas, 

 M. Bohemann's retaining that of '' lateralis^ Chro7nomcea has much 

 the same general appearance, but has small eyes, widely apart, and 

 a differently formed prothorax ; in the latter respect it agrees with 

 ^thi/ssiiisf, but which, iiitei' alia, has a truncate interfemoral pro- 

 cess. The Cistelidae appear to be well represented in Australia, 

 although few species are published. 



Chromomoea picta. 



C. pallide-flava, subnitida, capite, prothorace, lateribus et regione suturali 

 elytrorum nigris. 



Hab. Queensland. 



Pale yellowish, slightly shining ; head and prothorax brownish black, 

 closely and finely punctured ; lip, antennae, and palpi yellowish ; man- 

 dibles black ; scutellum black, veiy transverse ; elytra striate-punctate, 

 the punctures approximate, the intervals between the striae rather broad ; 

 sutural region, sides, and epipleurae black ; body beneath glossy black ; 

 legs yellowish, the apical half of the posterior thighs black. Length 

 5 hnes. 



IcTisTYGNA [Lagriidae]. 

 Caput subquadratum, ad angulum posticum rotundatum ; collum angusta- 

 tatum. Labium transversum. Oculi rotundati. 3Ientum transversuni. 

 Labrum membranaceum, rotundatum, basi pedunciilatum. Maxilhe 

 lobo extemo minuto, triangulari. Palpi labiales parvi, apicem versus 

 incrassati, art. ult. triangularly ;ja/pe maxillares art. idt. securifonni. 

 Antenna: modice elongatae, art. basali elongato, incrassato, 2°, 3o breviori- 

 bus, cseteris tertio longioribus, subobconicis, ultimo praecedente longiort- . 

 Prothorax late ovatus, antice in collum constrietus, lateribus rotunda- 

 tus, postice angustior. Elytra oblonga, angustata. Tibicc bicalcarata-, 

 anticEe extus spinosae ; tarsi art. primo elongato, penultimo subbilobo. 

 Mesosternum angustissimum. Corpus elongatmn, hirsutum. 



This genus and Diacalla (ante, p. 46), should, I think, form a 

 separate subfamily among the Lagriidae, distinguished by their 

 rounded eyes, spurred tibiae, and peculiar habit, from the more
