Latraille's description of M. rugosa is very short but Pascoe says 

 that he has seen an example of it and considers it probably 

 identical with his illota (Journ. Ent. I., p. 302).

CHALCOPTERUS. 



C ArthuiH, sp. nov. Elongato-ovalis; sat nitidus, pronoto magis 

 opaco ; niger, elytris violaceo-aureo-vel viridi-iridescentibus ; 

 capite minus crebre punctulato, f ronte media longitudinaliter 

 l»vi, oculorum interspatio antennarum articuli basalis longi- 

 tudini latitudine sat sequali ; sulcis ocularibus nullis ; 

 antennis quam corporis dimidium vix brevioribus ; prothor- 

 ace quam longiori fere duplo (postice quam antice ut 4 ad 3) 

 latiori, leviter sat crebre (quam caput multo magis obsolete) 

 punctulato, antice subsinuatim fortiter emarginato, a basi 

 antrorsum (superne viso) subarcuatim angustato, basi obso- 

 lete sinuata, angulis anticis acutis sat productis posticis fere 

 rectis ; elytris baud striatis, fortiter minus crebre (fere ut 

 C. variabilis, Blessig., ut a me definitus, vide P.L.S., N.S.W., 

 1893, p. 58) seriatim punctulatis, interstitiis crebre sat 

 fortiter (quam C. variabilis multo magis fortiter) punctu- 

 latis ; prosterno medio leviter obtuse carinato ; tarsis nigro- 

 setosis, posticorum articulo basal i quam ceteri conjuncti vix 

 breviori. Long, 5 1.; lat., '2-i 1. 

 In my tabulation of the genus Chalnopterus this species falls 



beside C. intermedius, Blackb. (P.L S., N.S.W., 1893, p. 61), from 



which it differs inter alia imdta by the very much larger seriate 



punctures of its elytra.
