Notes on Australian Coleoptera. 37 
the elytra is smooth on the two posterior third parts, the 
anterior being covered with very strong and deep punctures; 
parts of the mouth, antenne, last segment of the abdomen, 
and legs of a dark yellow, the four first articles of the 
antennze spotted with black ; end of the mandibulee of the 
last colour. This insect very much resembles Humeralvs, 
but is easily distinguished by its smaller size, the thorax, of 
which the anterior angles are much more rounded, the 
granulation of the elytra, &. 
Tetracha Hopei: length, 9’, breadth, 32’; of a fine 
metallic green ; thorax broader in front than at its posterior 
part, sinuous laterally, with the anterior angles rather pro- 
tuberant ; itpresents a transversal margin in front and another 
towards its posterior part, and a longitudinal sulcate in the 
middle; the elytra have a yellow margin that does not 
extend to the humeral angle, and which gradually increases 
in breadth in its posterior part ; the whole surface is densely 
puncturated, but more particularly towards the base; a line 
of deep punctures extends near the suture, but forms a 
eurve towards the extremity; below, the body is green, 
with the middle of the abdomen black, and ity extremity 
brown; parts of the mouth, antenne, and legs of a yellow 
brown ; extremity of the mandibulz black ; antennee, very 
long. This species is dedicated to my lamented and old 
friend, the Rev. Mr. Hope. 
Of Cicmmdela I also received a new and most remark- 
able species from Western Australia. 
Cicindela MacLeayi: length, 6’, breadth, 2’; of a gilt 
copper colour, head broad, eyes prominent, thorax almost 
square, rounded laterally with a transverse sulcate near the 
anterior and posterior margins, and a longitudinal one in the 
middle ; elytra of a beautiful purple, with three longitudinal 
bands of a whitish yellow, one marginal, another sutural, 
and the third contral, which does not entirely reach the 
margin at its posterior part ; inferior parts of the body of a 
beautiful irradiated green; anus, brown ; antennee and legs 
of a red copper colour, variegated with green; thighs 
covered with a whitish pubescence; labrum white, trans- 
verse, with its anterior margin sinuous. 
This beautiful insect has an Indian appearance. I have 
dedicated it to Mr. McLeay, junr., who has already done so 
much for Australian Entomology. 
The same magnificent collection of West Australian 
insects I obtained from the Rev. Mr. Bostock contains a
