1246 THE INSECTS OF THE VICINITY OF KING’s SOUND. 
the length, striate-punctate, of a reddish-yellow colour, with a 
brown fascia behind the middle, and two spots of the same colour 
near the apex. 
Long. 2, lat. ^ line. 
238. Cryptohypnus semifasciatus, n.sp. 
Veiy like the last, but of a dark brown colour, the basal impres- 
sions on the thorax large, long and oblique, the elytra with the 
base, a broad median fascia not meeting at the suture, another 
similar fascia towards the apex, and a spot of the same near the 
apex common to both elytra of a dull golden yellow. 
Long. If, lat. ^ line. 
239. Cardiophouus Froggatti, n.sp. 
Black, sub-nitid, thorax red. Head convex, minutely punctate. 
Thorax sub -convex, punctate, larger than wide. Elytra scarcely 
the width of the thorax at the base, and twice the length, gradually 
narrowed to the apex, almost nitid, striate-punctate, with a small 
yellow fascia in the middle, not reaching the side or suture. 
Long. 2, lat. line. 
240. Cardiophorus fasciolatus, n.sp. 
Very similar to the last species Vnit entirely black, and a little 
less nitid, the fascia on the elytra smaller and of a paler yellow. 
Long. 2, lat. 4 line. 
241. Cardiophorus quadrimaculatus, n.sp. 
Of broader form than C. Froygatti, entirely' black, sub-nitid, 
the thorax more convex, and the elytra less attenuated at the 
apex and not twice the length of the thoi’ax. Each elytron has a 
large roundish orange spot near the base, and another more 
oblong near the a])ex. 
Long. 1|, lat. 4 line. 
There are eight other minute species of Elateridte in the col- 
lection, which I am unable to place exactly in the absence of 
duplicate specimens for examination.
