C. Wallacei, Deyr. There is an example of this insect in Mr. 
French’s collection, which that gentleman informs me was taken 
in N. Queensland. 
STIGMODERA. 
S. magnifica, sp. nov. Sat lata; metallico-viridis, prothoracis 
disco elytrisque violaceo-purpureis, his fascia mediana com- 
muni sat lata aurantiaca ornatis ; capite longitudinaliter 
concavo, antice grosse leviter (postice magis profunde minus 
grosse) punctulato; prothorace fortiter transverso, acervatim 
sat fortiter punctulato, antice valde angustato, lateribus mox 
ante basin fortiter dilatato-rotundatis; elytris fortiter 
striatis, striis leviter punctulatis, interstitiis convexis fere 
ut strie punctulatis, lateribus postice crenulatis, apice 
breviter bispinoso. lLong., 10 1.; lat., 44.1.

N. Queensland ; in the collection of Mr. French.

TETRIGUS. 
This genus is new to the Australian fauna. The antenne are 
of very characteristic form in their lamelle being given off from 
the base (not the apex) of the lamellated joint. The antennz of 
the following species are exactly like those of 7’. parallelus, Cand. 
(as figured, Mon. Elat., vol. I., pl. v., fig. 5a), except in their 
apical joint being differently formed. The head too is very dis- 
tinctive, the forehead being abruptly truncate in front, with the 
part which Dr. Candéze calls the “ plaque nasale ” abruptly per-

T. australicus, sp. nov. Elongatus; subparallelus ; pubescens ; 
capite prothoraceque crebre subtilius punctulatis ; hoc quam
