A. eremita, sp. nov. Elongatus, sat angustus, sat convexus ; 

 colore instabilis ; antennis palpisque testaceis, pedibus 

 obseuris, tarsis anticis plus minusve ferrugineis; pilis elonga- 

 tis vestitus (his in capite pronoto elytrisque fulvis, alibi 

 dilutioribus);; capite inaequali, inaequaliter punctulato, longi- 

 tudinaiiter sat manifeste rugato, clypeo antice subtruncato 

 quam inter oculos caput haud angustiori ; antennis prothor- 

 acem medium manifeste superantibus, articulis 9° 10° que 

 transversis 11° ovato ad apicem acuto ; prothorace quam 

 longiori vix latiori, supra inaequaliter subtilius punctulato et 

 transversim subtiliter rugato, sat longe pone apicem arcuatim 

 (et mox ante basin recte) sulcato, pone sulcum anticum 

 longitudinaliter breviter vix perspicue canaliculato, lateribus 

 ante sulcum anticum et inter sulcos separatim rotundatis ; 

 elytris 10-seriatim foveolatis (seriebus 9 a 10 a que ultra 

 medium vix distinctis), foveolis a basi fere ad apicem con- 

 tinuis sed in parte quarta postica gradatim minus seriatis 

 minus quadratis, serierum interstitiis a foveolarum inter- 

 etitiis transversis multo turbatis. Long., 2f 1.; lat., 1 1.

I found a batch of specimens of this insect on flowers on the 

 Dividing Range in Victoria, which vary extremely in coloring, 

 containing green, blue, coppery, and golden individuals. The legs 

 are usually of the general colour, — but always dark, except the 

 front tarsi which are more or less red. The antennae palpi and 

 pilosity do not vary in colour. Usually the whole surface is 

 unicolorous, but in some examples the pronotum differs in colour 

 from the elytra and the under surface from the upper. Among 

 the species not having a variegated pattern on the elytra, having 

 dark legs and testaceous antennae, the ninth and tenth rows of 

 elytral foveolae confused behind the middle, the elytral sculpture 

 not abruptly ceasing (or nearly so) considerably before the apex, 

 the antennae not reaching back to the base of the prothorax, and 

 having the symmetry of the longitudinal interstices of the elytra 

 much disturbed by transverse interstices continuous across several 

 of the longitudinal interstices, this insect is distinguished by its 

 clypeus being in front as wide as the interval between the eyes 

 and its elytral sculpture being continuous quite to the base o 

 the elytra. It is also notable by the unevenness of the surface 

 of its head, and by its elongate somewhat cylindric form.
