Hah. — Queensland: Brisbane (Queensland Museum's No. 

 321, A. J. Turner and R. lUidge). Type, I. 3514. 



In general appearance close to acervata^ but sides of pro- 

 thorax not the same (although quite evidently closely allied to- 

 that species, it would, by both Chapuis' and Lefevre's tables 

 be widely separated from it), punctures on the head not quite 

 as dense and less conspicuously confluent, but on the clypeus 

 some of them are confluent, whereas on that species they are all 

 free. There is usually a rather conspicuous impunctate space 

 on the head near each eye, and on some specimens there are 

 remnants of an impunctate median line on prothorax ; the 

 punctures on the middle of the elytra, although not in striae, 

 appear to be in almost regular, closely placed rows, but else- 

 where the lineate arrangement is less, or not at all, evident. 

 On perfect specimens each prothoracic angle is provided with 

 a long hair. The hind tibiae of the male of this and of the 

 following species are triangularly notched near the lower 

 apex, with a conspicuous tooth behind the notch ; on many 

 others of the genus there is a somewhat similar but less con- 

 spicuous notch. 



COLASPOIDES PARVIDENS, U. Sp. 



S . Bronzy, with a vague greenish gloss ; under-surface 

 and appendages more or less castaneous, parts of metastemum 

 with a golden-green gloss, five apical joints of antennae 

 infuscated. 



Head with fairly dense and not very large punctures 

 between eyes, becoming more crowded on clypeus, and much 

 smaller and sparser elsewhere ; median line well defined.. 

 Antennae rather long, third and fourth joints subequal. Pro- 

 thorax with moderately undulated sides, with sparse and 

 rather small but sharply defined punctures, becoming larger 

 but not crowded on sides. Elytra with semi-double rows of 

 small and rather distant punctures, of moderate size only on 

 a post-humeral depression, only one subsutural stria on each 

 elytron. Flanks of prosternxim with rather large but not 

 crowded punctures. Abdomen and legs much as on preceding^ 

 species. Length, 6| mm. 



Hah. — Queensland (Blackburn's collection, from F. M. 

 Bailey). Type (unique), I. 3286. 



In general appearance close to the preceding species, but 

 with much sparser and finer punctures on the whole of the 

 upper-surface, sides of prothorax more undulated, etc. In 

 general appearance it is strikingly close to some specimens of 

 Cleptor xanthopus, but sides of prothorax more undulated and 

 front and hind femora dentate, etc.
