Differs from the description and figure of R. ruficollis, Oik., 

 and brevipennis, Blackb., inter alia, by its much longer and more 

 ample elytra, from R r ciridicdnea, Clk., by the same characters as 

 angidaticollis differs by, from rugulosa, Blackb., by its non 

 rugulose sculpture, from . angidaticollis by its very different 

 antennae, and from excelsa, Blackb., by the sculpture of its pro- 

 thorax. It is near R. impressa, Blackb., but differs from it by 

 the strongly and widely thickened front margin of its prothorax, 

 the much closer and more distinct puncturation of that segment,. 

 &c. In R. impressa there is a transverse ill-defined gibbosity on 

 the prothorax, but it is situated distinctly behind the front 

 margin.

MONOLEPTA. 



M. cognata, Blackb. This insect, — described from ZS. Queens- 

 land, — has been sent to me by Mr. French as taken in W, 

 Australia. 



COCCIXELLIDdE. 



LIPERNES. 



This name (which I used for a Coccinellid genus, Tr. R.S. y 

 S.A., 1888, p. 211) I rind had been previously used by Mr. 

 Waterhouse for a genus of Lycid.es. I therefore propose as a- 

 substitute for my name XotoJipernes.
