1390 FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
Each elytron bears five rows of fine punctures placed in scarcely 
impressed striae; of these the 1st stria is fairly well-defined and 
reaches the apex, but becomes impunctate in its apical half, the 
second is scarcely traceable to the apex, but its puncturation 
extends a little further back than that of the 1st, the next two 
resemble the 2nd, but their puncturation is a little more abbre- 
viated, the 5th is scarcely defined or punctulate so far as to the 
middle of the elytron ; under a Coddington lens a few punctures 
representing a 6th row are barely discernible ; there is a strongly 
impressed stria a little before the margin bearing some strong 
punctures in its anterior half and about five large foveae placed at 
equal distances apart in its posterior third ; the marginal stria is 
punctured in its anterior third paid. The colour varies somewhat, 
having a coppery tone in some examples with the middle part of 
the hind body and the prosternum inclining to red, and in some 
having the extreme lateral margins of the prothorax reddish. 
A broader and more convex species than C. punctipennis, Mcl., 
with the prothorax much wider and more massive, the punctura- 
tion of the elytra evidently finer, and only five (instead of six) 
distinct rows of punctures on the same. From C. amhiguus, Er., 
it is distinguished by the colour of its antennae, the much greater 
breadth of its prothorax, the two interstitial punctures of the 
elytra being both on the 3rd interstice, and probably by details of 
puncturation, but these latter are not indicated in Erichsen’s 
description.

Convexus; ferruginous vel piceo-ferrugineus ; prothorace for titer 
transverse, trans basin crasse punctulato, lateribus rotundatis 
postice rectis, angulis posticis acute rectis ; elytris leviter 6- 
striatis, striis fere ad apicem sat fortiter punctulatis.

The head and its organs scarcely difier from those of the pre- 
ceding species except in the antennae being shorter and feebler. The 
prothorax is about half as wide again as it is long down the
