Mr. Masters’ Catalogue as Monolepta melanocephala, Fab., and 
also as Agelastica melanocephala, Baly. 
CALLIPEPLA. 
C. sexsignata, Boisd. I have received from Mr. Masters and 
Mr. French (as taken in tropical Queensland) specimens ef an 
insect which seems likely to be this scarcely described N. Guinea 
species. 
PRASYPTERA. 
P. Mastersi, sp. nov. Flava; elytris metallico-viridibus vel 
cyaneo-viridibus, labro (antice) palpis (basi excepta) man- 
dibulis (basi excepta) antennis (articulo apicali flavo 
excepto) genubus tibiis tarsisque piceis ; prothorace trans- 
versim irregulariter impresso, leviter punctulato ; elytris sat 
crebre punctulatis. Long., 4 1.; lat., 24 1. 
Differs in coloration and other characters from all the pre- 
viously described members of the genus, which has not previously 
(to my knowledge) been recorded as occurring in Australia. 
N. Queensland ; sent to me by Mr. Masters. 
SASTRA. 
S. costatipennis, Jac., var. obscuricornis. A typo differt antennis 
(articulo basali subtus dilutiori excepto) nigro-piceis ; 
elytrorum sutura (apice angustissime flavescenti excepto) 
cum superficie concolori, costa interna haud ultra medium 
extensa. Long., 521; lat., 23 1. 
Although from its large size and differences of coloration this 
insect appears to a casual glance very distinct from S. costatipennis 
T think it very likely to prove a mere local form of that insect, 
to which it is at any rate very closely allied. 
N. Queensland. 
MOMAA. 
M. eximia, sp. nov. Elongata ; subparallela; testacea, elytris 
vitta lata discoidali lete viridi ornatis, antennis tarsique 
picescentibus ; antennis quam corpus paullo brevioribus, 
articulo 3° quam 4°* manifeste breviori; prothorace leviter 
transverso, sat <equali, sparsim subtiliter punctulato, lateri- 
bus rotundatis, angulis subtuberculiformibus ; elytris con- 
fertim minus subtiliter punctulatis ; tarsorum posticorum 
articulo basali quam sequentes 2 vix longiori. Long., 2% 1.; 
Fabs, -l: 
The bright green vitta on each elytron commences on the 
shoulder and runs back widening almost to the apex, so that the 
common testaceous interval between the two vitts is in the form _ 
of a very elongate triangle with its base on the base of the 
elytra ; the testaceous lateral margin is very narrow.
