In some respects it agrees with the description of A. cartereti, but 
the antennae of that species are said to be as long as the body, the 
hinder black mark on the elytra is said to be “ at the extremity,” 
and the underside and legs are said to be “ yellow” without any 
parts thereof being excepted, — in none of which respects does the 
present species agree with the description. 
Agelastica. 
A. IMPURA, sp.nov. 
Elongato-ovalis, postice vix ampliata ; rufo-fulva ; capite (an- 
tennas includente), abdominis segmentis (ultimo excepto) in medio, 
femoribus (anticis totis, intermediis basi ipsa excepta, posticis 
dimidia parte apicali), tibiis, tarsisque, nigris ; prothoracis disco 
infuscato; elytris violaceo-caeruleis ; prothorace impunctato obscure 
bifoveolato ; elytris sat crebre punctulatis. [Long. 3, lat. If lines. 
The antennae are nearly as long as the body, rather robust, the 
2nd joint short, the 3rd twice as long, the 4th and following joints 
much longer still.

I have received from several collectors in the Northern Territory 
specimens of an insect which apj)ears to be this species. It is not 
quite clear from Mr. Baly’s description, however, whether in the 
phrase '•'■capite nigro'’ he includes the antennae (the colour of which 
is not specially mentioned). Those of the species before me are 
black. 
Rupilia. 
R. IMPRESSA, sp.nov. 
Rufa vel ferruginea ; antennis tibiis tarsisque piceis vel piceo- 
nigris ; elytris cyaneis cupreo-iridescentibus ; nonnullis exemplis 
sutura rufa, nonnullis abdomine supra et subtus gemibusque piceo 
notatis ; capite inaequali, postice longitudinaliter fortiter canali- 
culato, obscure sat crasse punctulato ; prothorace quam longiori
