from near apex of same and suture, an interrupted post- 

 median fascia (or transverse row of spots) ; a large transverse 

 spot on each side of pygidium, and the tip of same; a fascia 

 across each abdominal segment (on the second and third 

 interrupted in middle) except the apical one, which has a 

 small spot on each side ; metasternum except the middle and 

 sutures, parts of meso- and of prosternum ; parts of front and 

 of hind coxae, lower edge of femora, upper edge of the hind 

 pair, and a subapical spot on the upper edge of each of the 

 others. 



Head with rather small irregularly distributed punc- 

 tures. Clypeus rather strongly notched in front, tips and 

 sides rounded ; punctures rather denser and coarser than on 

 head. Club somewhat shorter than clypeus. Prothorax- 

 with the margins lightly sinuous and rather strongly decreas- 

 ing in width from base to apex ; medio-basal sinus fairly deep, 

 about half the width of each of the others; sides and apex 

 with a few small punctures, elsewhere almost impunctate.. 

 Scutellum with a few small punctures. Elytra not much 

 wider than prothorax, but shoulders rather strongly bent 

 downwards, posthumeral incurvature strong, suture raised 

 posteriorly but flat near base, with a few small scattered 

 punctures, but some fairly coarse ones on the margins near 

 apex. Pygidium strongly transverse, transversely or obliquely 

 strigose. Mesosternal process strongly produced and acute. 

 Front tibice strongly tridentate, the hind ones with a sub- 

 median transverse ridge. Length, 21 mm. 



Ha b. — Queensland : Bowen. Type in National Museum 

 from F. H. duBoulay. 



Rather larger than the female of australasice, prothorax 

 without median and basal markings, elytra without apical 

 markings, the postmedian fascia and the basal vittae different, 

 the mesosternal process longer and more acute, and the tibiae 

 somewhat different. The pale markings of the type are now 

 of a rather dingy-flavous, but in places with remnants of 

 green ; on the living specimen, however, they were probably 

 of a bright-green. 



Eupcecila miskini, Janson. 



Janson's figure ( 21) of this species shows an insect some- 

 what like australasice, but with markings certainly different. 

 The elytral markings approach those of Chlorobapta besti 

 and tibialis, but as the mesosternal process is described as 

 "long, pointed, and slightly incurved at its apex," it is quite 

 certainly not a Chlorobapta.
