250 Mr. J. S. Baly's Monograph of the 



Not uncommon in collections ; this species is the Gonioctena 

 sinuata of Dejean's Catalogue ; the specimen in the Banksian 

 Cabinet, from which the description of Fabricius was drawn, is an 

 extremely pale variety, in which the head and thorax are both 

 immaculate, and the sinuous line abbreviated into an oblong 

 patch behind the middle of the elytron. 



Sp. 12. /iustraUca vittata, n. sp. 



Oblongo-elongata, pallide fulva, elytris profunde punctato- 

 striatis, singulo vitta longitudinali viridi-senea. 



Long. 3 — 3| lin. 



Oblong-elongate, pale ftdvous, coarsely punctured, elytra deeply 

 punctate-striate, with a longitudinal stripe on each, brassy green. 

 Head closely punctured, the vertex stained with black ; four basal 

 joints of antennae pitchy, the rest black. Thorax twice as broad 

 as long, the sides rounded, anterior margin concave ; disc coarsely 

 punctured, variolose on the sides. Scutellum smooth, fulvous, its 

 apex pitchy. Elytra parallel, scarcely wider than the thorax, 

 more than three times its length, deeply punctate-striate, on the 

 disc of each, and extending nearly to the apex, is a narrow green 

 vitta, the punctures on which are deeper and more confused than 

 elsewhere on the surface ; the suture and outer margin narrowly 

 edged with black. Beneath pale fulvous, the tarsi pitchy.

In the collections of the British Museum, Mr. Sheppard, and 

 my own. 



The deep puncturing of the elytra at once distinguishes this 

 insect from the allied species.
