MOll^- 



<niauia. 



narrow raised border; scutellimi transverse; elytra ul 

 oval, a little broader than the prothorax, slightly rounded at 

 the sides, striate, the stria3 and the spaces between them ini- 

 punctate, scutellar stria nearly obsolete; e])ipleurai of the 

 elytra, body beneath, and legs ])itchy Ijrown, very smooth and 

 glossy ; tarsi and ])al})i fulvous ; antenna3 a little thicker out- 

 wards. Length 10 lines. 



LiCINOMA. 



Mention angulis anticis rotundatum. 

 l\irsi subtus levitcr pilosi. 

 ProtliorcLV ajjice haud emarginatiis. 



In other respects, except that the eye is broader, this genus 

 resembles Adeliam^ with the habit of some of the smaller 

 Feronice. 



Licinoma nitida. 



L. cuprea, nitida ; elytris punctato-striatis ; tarsis fulvis ; antcnnis 

 ferrugineis. 



Hab. Mount Macedon, Victoria. 



Copper-brown, shining, finely punctured ; head convex be- 

 tween the antennary ridges, sparsely punctured; clj'peus 

 emarginate at the apex ; prothorax nearly as long as broad, 

 the sides slightly rounded, a little narrowed at the base ; scu- 

 tellum small and indistinct ; elytra oblong, very moderately 

 rounded at the sides, scarcely broader than the prothorax, de- 

 licately punctate-striate, the intervals of the stria? flattish, 

 sparingly punctured ; epipleuree of the elytra, body beneath, 

 femora, and tibiae glossy reddish brown, sparsely punctured ; 

 tarsi fulvous ; antennae ferruginous, thicker outwards, the last 

 joint large and as long as the two preceding together. Length 

 4 lines. 



Brycopia. 



Oculi prominuli, subrotundati. 

 Mentum angulis anticis rotundatum. 

 Prothorax apice haud emarginatus. 



The principal differentiating character in this genus is the 

 prominent and nearly circular eye. The simple clypcal suture 

 may probably also be taken as a generic character. The tarsi 

 are closely tomentose beneath, as in Adelium. 



Brycopia pilosella. 



B. breviter et sparse pilosa ; capite prothoraceque violaceo-nigris ; 

 elytris cupreis, punctato-stnatis. 



Hah. Mount Macedon, Victoria.
