FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
Episcaphula. 
E. GUTTATIPENNIS, Sp.nOV. 
Picea ; pi’othorace antice et ad latera, elytris singulis maculis 
5 parvis, abdomine, et tarsis, rufis ; capite subtilius parcius, pro- 
thorace (priesertim latera versus) crebre sat fortiter, punctulatis ; 
elytris seriatim punctulatis, vix striatis, interstitiis crebrius minus 
subtiliter punctulatis j subtus subtilius minus crebre punctulata. 
[Long. 24, lat. 1 line (vix). 
The red spots on each elytron are all small and are placed as 
follows : — three on the disc at a distance from the base of a 
<piarter, two-thirds, and five-sixths the length of the elytra ; and 
two (much smaller than those on the disc) near the lateral margin, 
— one level with the first, and the other a little behind the second, 
of the discal spots. The reddish colour of the ventral segments is 
brighter down the middle than at the sides, and extends itself a 
little on the metasternum. The ventral segments bear some 
golden pubescence. 
A much more parallel insect than the following, and appearing 
to hover between Thallis and Episcaflmla, resembling the former 
in general appearance but having the elongate second antennal 
joint (about nvice as long as the third joint) and the triangularly 
emar'ginate prosternum (receiving the pointed apex of the meso- 
sternum) of the latter. The sides of the prosternum are strongly 
carinate. The prothorax is strongly transverse and very little 
narrowed anteriorly. The condition of the specimen before me, 
though in other respects very good, precludes any reliable descrip- 
of the mouth organs.
