140 Mr. 0. Janson's Bcscrij^tio^is of Aiififralian Cetoniida\ 



easily distinguished hj its more depressed and rather 

 broader form, its closely punctate clypeus, and its punctate 

 thorax and elytra. It appears to be confined to Western 

 Australia, whence I have seen a long series presenting 

 little or no variation as regards form and sculpture, where- 

 as D. cinda is apparently restricted to the southern and 

 eastern portions of that continent. 



EujKeciia pnUata, n. sji. 



Nigra, nitida, thorace subtiliter punctato, angulis pos- 

 ticis obtusis, elytris punctatis, punctis ad basin in striis 

 sat regulariter digestis, femoribus rufo-maculatis. Long. 

 n lin., lat. 5 liu. 



Black, shining ; clypeus slightly emarginate, coarsely 

 punctured. 



TJiorax and scutcllmn very finely and faintly punctate ; 

 the former with a few large lateral punctures, its posterior 

 angles obtuse. 



Elytra sparsely and somewhat coarsely punctured, the 

 punctures arranged in irregular rows towards the base. 



Beneath with a few short ferruginous hairs ; apex of 

 mesosternum broad and obtuse ; femora with a large rufous 

 patch. 



Lizard Island. Coll. Parry. 



Most nearly allied to E. variabilis, Mad, from which it 

 may be at once distinguished by its slightly emarginate 

 and coarsely punctured clypeus, the form and punctuation 

 of its thorax and scutellum, its unfringcd posterior femora 

 and tibiiT, and the liroad and obtuse apex of its mesos- 

 ternum.
