This species seems clearly to appertain to Jomca on account 
of its front coxz open behind, bitid claws, unarmed and exter- 
nally carinate tibia, long antenne, narrow parallel form, «ec. 
The even surface of its prothorax and the not strongly transverse 
form of the same perhaps render its place in the genus a little 
doubtful, but I hesitate to separate it on these characters alone. 
Momea has not been previously attributed to Australia ; it 
occurs in New Guinea. 
N. Queensland. 
DIRCEMA. 
It has been pointed out by Baron de Harold that Galercula 
australis, Bohem., is a member of this genus. It appears probable 
that this is a correct reference. 
RUPILIA. 
RR. excelsa, sp. nov. Minus nitida; supra rufa, elytris (parte 
prope suturam rufa excepta) cyaneis ; subtus rufa (segment- 
orum ventralium parte antica laterali cyanescenti excepta) ; 
pedibus (femorum basi rufa excepta) piceis; capite inter 
oculos inequali, longitudinaliter linea fortiter impresso, 
parte mediana sat crasse punctulata; prothorace quam 
longiori fere duplo latiori, crebre fortiter subequaliter punct- 
ulato, sulco lato transverso discoidali bene determinato 
profunde impresso (hoc margines laterales fere attingenti, 
sed ad medium paullo minus lato paullo minus profundo); 
scutello elytrisque confertim sat fortiter (fere subrugulose) 
punctulatis. Long., 34.1; lat, 121. 
Distinct from its previously described allies by the broad rufo- 
testaceous stripe forming the inner border of each elytron. Its 
nearest ally seems to be &. ruficollis, Clk., from which it differs 
inter alia by the strong subrugulose puncturation of its scutellum, 
as well as by the coloring of its elytra.
