Notes on Australian Coleoptera. = = — 35 
Parryi White. Some specimens of the two last have been 
sent to me by Mr. Edwards, from Auckland, but those 
of Tuberculata are darker, and have the elytra more 
densely punctured than those of the Southern Island. 
The Parryi of the northern part is also different from 
the specimens of Dunedin ; they are smaller, their colour is 
more green; the spots of the elytra are more confused, 
and on each elytra there are two dark notches bordering the 
middle ramified line. The entire insect appears also more 
deeply punctured. 
Tam not certain if this insect ought to be considered as 
belonging to a different species, or as forming a local variety, 
but I incline towards the last opinion. 
From Dunedin, I also received several specimens of a new 
sort. 
Cicindela Dunedensis: length 4’, breadth 14’.—This small 
sort is of a light brown; the labrum and base of the 
mandibule are white ; the elytra are covered with punctures 
of a green copper colour ; a sinuated line of large punctures 
follows the suture; a rather broad marginal white band 
extends along the exterior margin, and sends forth a short 
lunula behind the axillary angle, an oblique band that almost 
reaches the suture and an apical lunula. The inferior parts 
of the body and legs are of a bright copper colour, and the 
abdomen is black. This insect is allied to Parryi, but is 
much smaller, more narrow, and has a general green appear- 
ance; it is also easily distinguished by the sinuous and 
arched form of the elytral line of big punctures, which is 
straight in Parryt. : 
Among other interesting specimens sent to me by W. L. 
Travers, Esq., of Christchurch, are the larvee of the Tuber- 
culata and Parryi. The first has a general elongated form, 
the head not being much broader than the body; the whole 
animal is formed of thirteen segments, including the head, 
which is pretty large and rather excavated in its middle; 
the parts of the mouth are well formed ; on each side of the 
head are two eyes, of which the posterior are the largest ; 
the antennze are very short and formed of four articles, of 
which the last is very small; the mandibule are strong and 
curved, with an acute tooth near their base; the prothorax 
is broad, transversal, semicircular, with its anterior margin 
protruding in its middle, in form of a point; the sides are 
rounded and marginated; the posterior margin semicir- 
cular. The surface of this thorax is unequal, and presents a 
2D .
