A single specimen, which I take to be £. The marked 

 characters of the antennae and prothorax of this species distin- 

 guish it from all others of the genus. It is in general outline 

 like a small C. Walckencerii, from which it widely differs in all 

 other characters. I am indebted to Mr. Sloane for this specimen 

 which he captured himself near Atherton.* 



Coripera bistriata, n.sp. (Text %.4). 



Elongate-oval; dark bronze shining; tarsi, basal joints of palpi, 

 knees, thoracic and elytral bands castaneous; antennas fuscous. 



Head elongate, labrum salient and square, epicra- 

 nium separated from clypeus by transverse ridge. 

 Coarsely punctate. Eyes large, oval, coarsely 

 faceted. Antennas with the four penultimate joints 

 triangular, apical joint spheroidal, these five joints 

 opaque; joints 1-8 shining; 3 scarcely larger than 4, 

 joints 1 and 2 short and beadlike. Prothorax 

 irregularly and strongly rugose, transversely strio- 

 late on the sides, about as long as broad. Bisinuate 

 and emarginate at apex, anterior angles bluntly 

 acute; sides with undulating outline, slightly widest 

 at middle. Hind angles sharp and subrectangular; 

 this angle, though not dentate, emphasised by the 

 depressed groove at base near angles. Base strongly 

 sinuate and produced a little backwards at middle; 

 base and apex intersected by the otherwise obsolete 

 medial channel. Entire pronotum edged by a 

 shining reflexed border. Sides, for the width of

front and hind angles, with a light castaneous band.
