NOTE. This is the same as the Lebiabinotata of Hombron and Jacq., 

 Voy. au Pole Sud, t. \.,f. 8. I have the following description, which 

 was copied from the Entom. Man. Mag., iv., by Professor Hutton : 



" Coptodera antipodum, Bates. C. brevis, depressa, punctata, 

 nitida, piceo-ferruginea, fulvo-pubescens ; thorace rufo, elytris fuscis, 

 marginibus posticis macula elongata discoidali prope suturam, alteraque 

 rotundiori juxta angulum suturalem rufo-testaceis." 



The following are the synonyms of this species : Gomelina binotata, 

 Blanch., Voy. au Pole Sud, iv.,/. 2, 1853 ; Agonochilabinotata, )&&&&., 

 Bull. Moscow, 1848; Sarothrocrepis binotata, Redten., Reise d. Novara, 

 Coleop.,p. 7.
