Somewhat resembles 0. antennalis, Baly, but is more narrowly 
oval in form with much shorter antennz and much less closely 
and distinctly punctured elytra, &c.

AULACOPHORA. 
A. denticornis, sp. nov. Testacea, elytrorum parte basali et 
macula magna subapicali rubropurpureis, pedibus_posticis 
plus minusve infuscatis ; capite prothoraceque levibus ; hoc 
quam longiori vix dimidio latiori; elytris distincte punctul- 
atis ; metasterno nonnihil rubro-infuscato. 
Maris capite inter oculos profunde biimpresso, utrinque inter 
partem impressam et oculum sat alte cristato; antennarum 
articulis basalibus 5 deformibus (sc. basali elongato extus 
emarginato et dentato, 2° minuto extus dentato, 3° magno 
triangulari ad apicem extrorsum fortiter producto, 4° quam 
3** longiori compresso ad apicem truncato 5° quam 3" vix 
longiori ad apicem extus fortiter producto (partis producte 
margine antico profunde emarginato et biacuto. 
Femine capite sat «quali, antennis simplicibus quam corporis 
dimidium paullo longioribus. Long., 31.1.; lat, 131 
The elytra are divided into three somewhat equal zones of 
color—the basal one-third part purplish red, the middle one-third 
testaceous, the apical one-third purplish red ; the apical purplish 
red color however does not quite reach the suture. The male 
characters in the head and antenne are more strongly marked 
than in any other Aulacophora known to me. 
N. Queensland ; taken by Mr. Cowley near Cairns. 
A. cucullata, sp.nov. Fem. Testacea ; elytrorum parte basali 
tertia nigra, tibiis tarsisque anterioribus 4 plus minus infusc- 
atis, pedibus posticis (femorum basi excepta) fere nigris ; 
capite prothoraceque obsolete punctulatis ; hoc quam longiori 
fere duplo latiori; elytris sparsim subtiliter penctulatis ; 
antennis quam corporis duz partes longioribus, articulo 3° 
quam 4" vix breviori. Long., 321.; lat., 2,3 1. 
I cannot find among the numerous described species of 
Aulacophora any the coloring and markings of which bear much 
resemblance to those of the present species. 
AGELASTICA. 
A. (Galeruca) melanocephala, Fab. There does not appear to 
be any doubt that this species is an Agelastica. It is clearly 
identical with the Agelastica that Dr, Baly described under the 
same specific name. Of course Fabricius is the earlier describer 
to whom the original name must be attributed. I believe this 
synonymy has not been previously noted. The species stands in
