separated, not very prominent, antennae with joint 3 longer 

 tlian 4 and cylindric, 4-10 subequal and narrowly triangular, 

 11 of equal le^ngtli with 10 but more slender. Prothorax 

 slightly longer than wide, very convex laterally, trujicate at 

 base, at apex a little produced in middle, in male sides nearly 

 straight, feebly narrowed and rounded in front, hind angles 

 rectangular; in female sides clearly but lightly rounded, 

 gently widening posteriorly, finely, closely but not deeply 

 punctate, a central depressed fovea near base and small 

 triangular basal fovea near angles. Scutellum triangular. 

 Elytra wider than prothorax at base, convex and elongate, 

 tapering behind, very finely striate-punctate ; intervals closely 

 punctate, with feeble pubescence near apex; underside finely 

 punctate, tibiae entire in both sexes. Dim. — Male, 5xlJ; 

 female, 7x2 (vix) mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Cairns district (F. P. Dodd). 



Four examples, of which three are apparently males. 

 The female example is larger, with the thorax more rounded 

 at sides and widened behind; the elytra also show vague 

 indications of paler markings (somewhat as in C. pi eta, 

 Pasc). Tlie only species with which it could be confused are 

 C. unicolor, Bates, var. lindensis, Blackb., and C. affinis, 

 Blackb. ; but besides size and colour differences, the surface of 

 gracillima is more glabrous and nitid than either of these, 

 with a much lighter system of punctures, especially on the 

 pronotum, while the form is more cylindric. Types in the 

 South Australian Musuem. 



Anaxo dentipes, n. sp. 



Elongate, subparallel, nitid dark bronze, labrum, 

 antennae, and basal half of tibiae reddish ; head and under- 

 side rather thickly clothed with white recumbent hairs. 



Head closely punctate, eyes separated by a distance of 

 about the diameter of one eye; antennae moderately stout, 

 the joints thickened at apex, 3 and 4 subequal, 5 to 11 suc- 

 cessively shorter, 10 and 11 narrower than preceding. Pro- 

 thorax moderately convex, nearly square, truncate at base 

 and apex, sides nearly straight, the anterior angles rounded 

 off, posterior rectangular; lateral margins not visible from 

 above, basal and apical margins narrowly raised, disc coarsely 

 and unevenly punctate, with one or two smooth spaces on each 

 lobe, medial impression wide and shallow (in one example 

 subobsolete). Scutelhun round behind, thickly albo-pilose. 

 Elytra wider than prothorax at base, sides parallel for the 

 greater part ; punctate-striate, the seriate punctures large, 

 round, close, and regular; intervals convex-subcarinate in
