LlCINOMA CYCLOCOLLIS, n. Sp. 



Ovate ; nitid black ; labrum, antennae, palpi, and legs red. 



Head — Epistoma rounded in front, with a straight deep 

 limiting sulcus behind ; concave in front of eyes, the concavity 

 with stronger puncturation than the rest of head ; eyes sub- 

 rotundate and prominent; antennas with joint 3 as long as 1-2 

 combined, 4-7 obconic, 8-10 triangular, 11 much larger than 

 preceding; widely ovate. Prothorax slightly wider than long, 

 widest at the middle, somewhat circular, all angles widely 

 rounded, subtruncate at base and apex, sides evenly and widely 

 rounded without sinuation, lateral border narrow, disc very 

 minutely punctate. Scutellum semi -circular. Elytra oval, 

 striate-punctate, with eleven striae containing punctures evenly 

 placed (smaller and less closely placed than in L. pallipes , 

 Blackb., larger than in L. nitidissimvs, Lea), the tenth inter- 

 val terminating some distance behind the shoulder ; intervals 

 quite flat on disc, convex at the sides ; under-surface almost 

 smooth and very nitid; femora swollen, tibiae and tarsi slender. 

 Dimensions — 6'5-8 x 2'5-3 mm. 



Hab. — Northern Queensland: Kuranda (F. Dodd and A. 

 M. Lea). 



A specimen (female ?) sent me by Mr. Dodd, also a muti- 

 lated specimen amongst Mr. Lea's captures at Kuranda, differ 

 from all described species in its widely- and evenly-rounded 

 prothorax, with other differences to distinguish it from nitidis- 

 sima, its nearest ally. Type in author's collection. In Mr. 

 Lea's description of "hitidissima" he gives the prothorax as 

 ''twice as wide as long." I have several specimens, one deter- 

 mined by the author himself. In all of these the length : width 

 is 2:3 as nearly as possible. 



LlCINOMA GILES!, n. Sp. 



Depressed; nitid dark castaneous above; under-side, legs, 

 antennae, and oral organs pale red.
