1162 COLEOPTERA 



where about twelve punctures in each series ; those near the suture 

 and base finer, and those at the apex irregular, so that the surface 

 there is quite uneven. Legs glabrous, unicolorous-red. 



Grey mouth. Helms. I first received this insect from Herr 

 Reitter ; and, as he wished a name proposed for it, I labelled it 

 " Adelium (?) variolosum :" on investigation it proves, however, to be 

 abundantly different from Adelium. 



2059. C. genialis, n.s. Convex, oval, shining, glabrous ; head 

 and thorax aeneo-niger, elytra of a reddish hue, palpi and tarsi 

 fulvous, antennae and tibiae red, femora mostly piceous. 



Head finely punctate. Thorax transverse, the sides but little 

 curved, straight behind ; anterior angles hardly at all depressed, 

 the posterior rectangular ; rather finely and not closely punctured, 

 and with a transverse impression on either side of the middle along 

 the base. Scutellum transverse, minutely punctured. Elytra 

 minutely punctured, and with eight rows of rather distant, irregular, 

 punctiform impressions, coarser near the sides and extremity, caus- 

 ing inequalities of surface behind. Tibia straight. 



Underside black, shining, finely sculptured. 



Allied to the typical species ; the prosternal process, however, 

 is not in the least impressed, the elytra are as glossy as the thorax, 

 and the legs are not concolorous. 



Length, 3J ; breadth, If lines. 



Mount Arthur. Two examples, one much mutilated, were 

 brought to me by Mr. T. F. Cheeseman. 



2060. C. aeneUS, n.s. Oval, convex, nitid, greenish ; femora 

 piceous, tibiae and antennae red, tarsi and palpi fulvous. 



Underside pitchy-black, shining, finely sculptured. 



This species agrees in most respects with the description of C. 

 chrysomeloides, but the prosternal process is broadly grooved longitu- 

 dinally throughout, the elytra are quite glossy, the legs are not 

 uniformly coloured, and the five terminal joints of the antenna are 

 more obviously pubescent than the others. It is shorter and more 

 convex than C. genialis, with the thorax narrower in front and with 

 more depressed anterior angles; the sculpture, however, is quite, or 

 very nearly, similar. 



Length, 3 ; breadth, 1-| lines. 



Boatman's. Mr. A. T. Cavell was kind enough to send me three 

 specimens, which he detected under bark. 



Group PEDILIIXffi . 



Macr atria. 



2061. ]V[. flavipes, n.s. Elongate; head and thorax black, 

 elytra piceous, the legs, palpi, and two basal joints of the antennas 

 yellow, the next three joints more or less fusco-testaceous, the 

 remainder fuscous ; pubescence greyish.
