5. Aulacophora austro-caledonica, Montrouz. Ann. Soc. Eat. 
France, 1861, p. 299.- — Subelongata, postice paullo ampliata, con- 
vexa, flava, nitida, verticis maculis duabus, pectore abdomineque 
nigris, hoc basi et ad latera pallide piceo ; tkoraee transversim sul- 
cato, sulco fere recto ; elytris nitidis, utrisque plagis magnis duabus, 
ima basali ad suturam abbreviata, altera pone medium positis, 
nigris. Long. 2J-3 lin. 
Mas. Autennis filiformibus, robustis; abdominis segmento anali tri- 
lobato, lobo intermedio oblongo, profunde concavo. 
Fern. Abdominis segmento anali lateribus rectis, oblique convergenti- 
bus, apice extremo obtuso. 
Sab. New Caledonia, Balade. 
Vertex with two large black patches, separated in the middle 
by a narrow flavous line ; antennae filiform in both sexes, more 
robust in the <5 than in the other sex, the joints slightly stained 
with piceous. Thorax more than one half broader than long; its 
sides sinuate and slightly diverging from the base to the middle, 
slightly produced immediately before the latter, thence rounded 
and converging to the apex ; disk impressed across the middle 
with a deep transverse groove. Elytra oblong, very slightly 
dilated posteriorly, minutely punctured. 
This species closely resembles A. occipitalis in the coloration 
of its head and underside ; the antennae, however, of the S of 
austro-caledonica are simple, not dilated as described by Mr. 
Jacoby (Annal. del Mus. Civic. Stor. Nat. G-en. 1886, vol. iv. 
p. 53) ; the male assigned by him to the present insect belongs 
to another species nearly allied to, if not identical with, 
A. occipitalis. I possess both sexes of austro-caledonica from 
New Caledonia.
