small and transverse. Elytra a little wider than prothorax 

 at base, humeral angles bluntly rectangular; sides parallel 

 till near apex, then sharply narrowed to a point. A narrow, 

 light, castaneous band running from shoulder to apex, widening 

 at apex. A single narrow stria on each side of and close to 

 suture, not reaching base. On each elytron about twenty-five 

 ocellate foveas; these not arranged in series, but scattered 

 irregularly over the whole surface; foveas, as well as the spaces 

 between them, irregularly and finely punctate. The sides have a 

 crenulate appearance, especially towards apex, due to raised 

 " lumps " on the surface, which are continued to a modified extent 

 on the epipleuras. Near the scutellar region the sculpture 

 presents an irregular strigose appearance. Underside dark bronze 

 and smooth, except apical segment of abdomen, wh,ich is finely 

 punctate. Dimensions — 13 x -t-4: mm. 



Hob. — Zeehan, Tas. (one specimen, kindly given to me by Mr. 

 A. M. Lea). 



A quite distinct member of this genus, easily recognised by its 

 single stria on each elytron, and its irregular ocellate pattern, in 

 combination with the light-coloured band. 



Brycopia crenaticollis, n.sp. (Text fig.5). 



Shortly ovate, convex; nitid, bronze, glabrous; antennas, tibias, 

 underside of femora castaneous; tarsi and palpi pale castaneous; 

 abdomen dark metallic-bronze. 



Head short, wide, densely punctate; eyes round and prominent. 

 Antennas stout, reaching (when set back) beyond base of pro- 

 notum; joints increasing in width from base to apex and closely 

 articulate; joint 3 very little longer than <±, joint 11 much the 

 largest and ovate. Prothorax convex, coarsely and regularly 

 punctate, punctures closer than in B. globidosa Carter, and not 

 tending to confluence as in B. pilosella Pasc; truncate at base 

 and apex, with apex slightly advanced in the middle, sides 

 moderately rounded anteriorly, abruptly narrowed posteriorly, 

 and minutely crenate at edge; anterior angles sharply obtuse, 

 posterior angles obsolete. Scutellum small, transverse and
