PAINTED LAMIA. 
Black Lamia painted with yellowish-fawn colour; the 
sides of the thorax, breast, antenna, and four anterior 
feet, covered with a bluish bloom; wing-cases punctured. 
This very beautiful Lamia is a native of New Holland, | 
and was figured from the extensive collection of Mr.Macleay, 
which is so liberally open for the benefit of science. 
The first joint of the antenne, and the tips of the others, 
have no bloom ; tubercles on the sides of the thorax conic; 
elytra punctured, the punctures towards the suture being 
arranged in longitudinal lines, on which part also are two 
lengthened irregular grooves, approaching nearer to one 
another as they descend, but not reaching to the apex of 
the elytra.
