FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTEEA. 
COCCIXELLID^. 
Crtptolemus. 
C. Montrouzieri, Muls. 
1 have recently received from F. M. Bailey, Esq., of Brisbane, 
two specimens of this pretty little taken in the Brisbane 
neighbourhood. The habitat of the species as given by its author 
is “ Australia ” merely ; it is omitted altogether in Mr. Masters' 
Catalogue. 
C. SIMPLEX, sp.nov. 
Late ovalis ; pubescens ; subtilius sat dense subaequaliter punc* 
tulatus ; ferrugineus ; elytris nigris, apice rufescentibus ; meta- 
stemo et abdominis segmento basali in medio infuscatis. 
[Long. 24, lat. If lines. 
Very like C. Montrouzieri^ but a little wider, — especially 
behind, — and differently coloured, the legs and underside (except 
a slight infuscation of the latter) being entirely ferruginous, the 
scutellum red and the apex of the elytra more narrowly reddened.
