DlLOCHROSIS BALTEATA, Vollenll. 



PL xii., fig. 115. 

 Fair numbers of this handsome insect have recently been 

 taken from Cairns to the Coen River, in North Queensland. 



DlLOCHROSIS BAKEWELLI, White. 



PL vii., fig. 18. 

 This species, a very rare one in collections, extends from 

 Melbourne to Brisbane. 



DlLOCHROSIS SUBFOVEATA, Thoms. 



The description of this insect is a rather curious one, as 

 the head and prothorax are described as being "subsurdus" 

 (somewhat deaf), and the elytra as being "foveis 4 vagis 

 ornata," apparently spots being meant, as in comparing the 

 species with brouni "quatre taches noires" are mentioned. 



Dilochrosis frenchi, Blackb. 



The type of this species is in the National Museum, and 

 by the courtesy of Mr. Kershaw I have been able to examine 

 it. It is certainly a male, as presumed by the late Rev. T. 

 Blackburn. On its eyltra across the middle there is a dis- 

 tinct depression, and there is a less distinct one a short dis- 

 tance behind the middle. These depressions were not men- 

 tioned in the original description, and may have been con- 

 sidered accidental, but they are alike on four other specimens 

 under examination. 



The female differs from the male in having the sides of 

 the clypeus rounded instead of parallel-sided, and less turned 

 up at the apex ; the elytra less narrowed posteriorly ; abdomen 

 evenly convex along middle ; front tibiae strongly and acutely 

 tridentate, and the other tibiae each with an acute median 

 tooth. In the female the apex of the clypeus is very feebly 

 incurved to the middle, and in the male it is straight. All 

 other species of the genus have the clypeus deeply cleft. 



Specimens have been taken on tops of tall trees at 

 Kuranda on several occasions by the sons of Mr. F. P. Dodd.

Head with fairly dense and rather small punctures, and 

 much denser minute ones. Clypeus with punctures as on 

 head, widely depressed towards apex, the sides not separately 

 elevated, apex moderately notched, with the tips rounded, 

 sides rounded. Prothorax with sides narrowly margined,
