Shining above, with short erect scattered hairs ; head and 

 prothorax violet-black, coarsely punctured, the clypeal suture 

 not sending a branch along the base of the antennary ridge ; 

 sides of the prothorax well rounded anteriorly, then contracting 

 more gradually to the base; scutellum triangular; elytra 

 oblong oval, coarsely punctate-striate, the intervals between the 

 strise impunctate, epipleurae scarcely punctured ; body beneath 

 reddish pitchy, punctured ; legs and antennse pale ferruginous, 

 the last joint of the latter rounded, a little larger than the 

 preceding one. Length 3 lines. 



DiNORIA. 

 Oculi parvi, rotundati. 

 Tarsi subtus pilosi. 

 Prothorax apice hand emarginatus. 



Very similar to Brycopia^ and only to be distinguished by 

 the pilose tarsi. The clypeal suture is also simple. 



Dinoria picta. 

 D. cuprea, nitida ; elytris marginibus fulvis. 



Hob. Tasmania. 



Copper-brown, shining ; head coarsely punctured, the cly- 

 peus forming a prominent fold above ; prothorax transverse, 

 roughly and not closely punctured, rounded at the sides, more 

 narrowed behind the middle, the posterior angles prominent, 

 but not acute ; scutellum narrowly triangular ; elytra obovate, 

 closely and strongly punctate-striate, the intermediate intervals 

 more elevated, the margins of the disk and apex fulvous ; 

 body beneath and femora at the base dark glossy brown, 

 sparsely punctured ; rest of the femora, tibiae at the apex, and 

 tarsi clear fulvous ; palpi and antennas yellowish ferruginous, 

 the latter a little thicker outwards, the last joint oval, nearly 

 equal to the two preceding together. Length 3 lines. 



Dystalica. 

 Oculi angustati. 

 Tarsi subtus pilosi. 

 Prothorax apice emarginatus, lateribus crenatus. 



In habit resembling Adelium porcatum more than anything 

 else in the subfamily. 



Dystalica homogenea. 



D. subparallela ; capita prothoraceque nigris ; elytris seneis, fortiter 

 punctato - striatis . 

 Hab. Swan River.
