hairs; antenna; a little thicker outwardly, the joints obconic, 

 not elongated, the third ecjual to the fourth and fifth together, 

 pitchy, with scattered short hairs. Length 4^ lines. 



A. hrevicorne^ Blessig, judging from the figure he has given*, 

 appears to be a much broader species, with the ])rothorax much 

 less narrowed at the a])ex ; in the description the latter is said 

 to be twice as broad as long. 



Addiiun ancilla. 



A. cupreum, sat nitidum ; prothorace subtiliter punctato, angulis 

 posticis productis ; elytris irregulariter seriatim impresso-punc- 

 tatis. 



Hah, Darling Downs. 



Copper-brown, rather nitid ; head sparingly punctured ; 

 clj'i^eus rounded at the apex, its suture somewhat indistinct, 

 but the groove at the base of the antennary ridges well marked; 

 prothorax transverse, much narrower than the elytra, finely 

 and rather remotely punctured, broad at the base, the apex 

 narrowed, sides strongly rounded, posterior angles produced 

 directly outwards ; scutellum transversely triangular, its apex 

 rounded ; elytra broadly obovate, convex, seriate-punctate, the 

 punctm-es irregularly impressed, oblong or round, here and there 

 one, two, or three together, the intervals of the rows broad, 

 impunctate, and more or less uneven from the im]>ressed sides 

 of the punctures ; epipleura^ of the elytra, body beneath, and 

 legs glossy reddish copper, sparingly and finely punctured ; 

 antennae more than half the length of the body, slightly thicker 

 outwards, glossy copper at the base, gradually becoming ferru- 

 ginous and opaque, third joint nearly as long as the next two 

 together, the last joint a little larger than the preceding one, 

 and somewhat semicircular. Length 6^ lines. 



Differs from A. cisteloidesj Er. i^A. helopoides^ Boisd.), inter 

 alia^ in its longer antenna3, and in the greater breadth of the 

 base, and the produced posterior angles of the prothorax. 



Adelium repandum. 



A. cupreum, subnitidum ; prothorace creberrime punctato, punctis 

 magnis rarissime dispersis ; elytris seriatim punctatis, interstitiis 

 alternis interrupte subcostatis. 



Hah. Brisbane. 



Copper-brown, a little nitid ; head rather finely jninctured ; 

 clypeus truncate at the apex, its suture going off near the an- 

 tennary ridges, no branch groove ; prothorax moderately trans- 

 verse, not so broad as the elytra, sides well rounded, posterior
