1466 FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
differences -which suggest its representing a distinct closely allied 
species. Its pro thorax is of a bright reddish testaceous colour and 
is somewhat more coarsely wrinkled transversely, -w-ith the dorsal 
tuljercles scarcely traceable, and its elytra are rotundate-truncate 
at the apex rather than rounded. It is, moreover, a little larger. 
Its antennm are similar in length and in the proportion inter se 
of the joints, but they are altogether stouter and much more 
strongly serrated, though in the same manner as in my specimen 
and -without any trace of the close serration that runs along the 
edge of each joint in .S'. TVesticoodi.

The hinder four-fifths of the elytra are clouded with blackish 
immediately within the lateral margin. The front part of this 
dark vitta is much the deepest in colour and is dilated so as nearly 
to reach the suture (in some examples more nearly than others) 
extending nearly (or quite) over the hinder half of the i-ugosely 
punctured space.

This genus (characterized in 1845 by M. Blanchard on an unde- 
sciibed Australian s}>ecies) is probably identical with Agapete 
(characterized by Mr. Xewman in the same year). The diagnosis 
agrees very well with specimens of Agapete before me, — men- 
tioning the very peculiar sha])e of the elytra and other characters.
