NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, II. 



separated by a small circular excision. Abdomen covered with 

 shallow punctures. Dimensions 14-16 x 4 '5-6 mm. 



Hah. — Mount Kosciusko, 6000 ft., on flowers of Eucalyptus 

 coriacea; collected by Mr. R. Helms and H. J. Carter. 



I have dedicated this species to Mr. R. Helms, 

 whose scientific work on Mount Kosciusko and in 

 entomology needs no feeble recognition of mine, and 

 by whom this species was first discovered. I took 

 five specimens of it myself in Jan. 1906. It is 

 quite distinct from any Stigmodera known to me, 

 nor can I find its description among Mr. Kerreman's 

 papers. Its nearest allies amongst those known 

 to me are S. colorata Kerr, (wee Hope), and S. 

 Thomsoni Saund., from both of which it differs in 

 shape, colour arrangement, and in elytral apical 

 structure inter alia. 



The figures marked with an asterisk in the 

 lg Heimsi Um subjoined list, as well . as text fig. 2, illustrate 

 species described in my previous paper (these 

 Proceedings, 1905, p.177).
