narrow between coxae, wider and bilobed at base. Each clan 

 with a large subacute basal appendix. Length, 5-5§ mm. 



Hab. — Queensland: Bundaberg (H. W. Brown), Bris- 

 bane (Dr. A. J. Turner). Type, I. 5686. 



At a glance, apparently not even belonging to Chalco- 

 lampra, but structurally it certainly appears to belong to the 

 same genus as 18-guttata and marmorata. The apical joint 

 of the maxillary palpi is not securiform, but is slightly larger 

 than the subapical one. The elytral fasciae differ slightly on 

 the four specimens under examination, they are almost equi- 

 distant and do not extend to the sides, the first is sometimes 

 not continuous across the suture, the second is distinctly 

 interrupted by the suture, and the third and fourth are 

 continuous and narrowly connected along the suture; the 

 third is the longest, the fourth the shortest, and the second 

 the narrowest. The elytral punctures are really very small 

 and not at all seriate in arrangement, but- owing to "water- 

 logging'' they appear to be of moderate size, and in places 

 subseriate in arrangement. 



The colours of this and of the following species are new 

 as described, but probably on living specimens the grcund- 

 colour is more or less green. 



Chalcolampra tenuis, n. sp. 



Flavous, most of antennae infuscated; elytra with scarlet 

 markings. 



Head with a few small punctures, median line feebly 

 impressed, clypeal suture conspicuous, an oblique impression 

 extending backwards from each side. Antennae almost as 

 in preceding species. Prothorax not thrice as wide as long,, 

 sides almost parallel ; with some fairly large, irregular punc- 

 tures on sides, minute ones elsewhere. Elytra long and thin, 

 distinctly wider than, prothorax at base, shoulders rounded, 

 sides parallel to beyond the middle ; with rows of moderately 

 large punctures, larger in the fifth, eighth, and ninth rows 

 near basal third than elsewhere ; interstices with minute 

 punctures. Inter-coxal process of prosterniim obtusely 

 bilobed at base. Chars strongly appendiculate. Length, 

 5 mm. 



Hab. — Queensland: Cairns. Type (unique), I. 2692. 



Structurally close to 18-guttata, but with totally different 

 markings. From the preceding species it is readily distin- 

 guished by the elytral punctures, apart from the markings, 

 which are probably subject to variation ; the prothorax is 

 also considerably narrower. The elytral markings on the 

 type appear to consist of four abbreviated equi-distant fasciae, 

 not extending beyond the fourth interstice, but all connected 

 along the suture. »
