the two longitudinal grooves extending to its posterior 
part, where they deviate externally behind the eyes; 
their general direction is oblique ; in front they also devi- 
ate towards the anterior angles of the head; a puncti- 
form impression is seen on each side behind the eye ; thorax 
longer than broad, a little wider in front than behind, the 
posterior angles rounded ; in its centre extends a longitudi- 
nal sulcate, and an impression is seen behind the four 
angles, its border is very narrow ; elytra long, covered with 
longitudinal lines of transverse points, with a punctiform 
impression behind and an irregular one on the axillary 
angle (the fore tibize are missing in my only specimen) ; 
the insect is black and shiny ; thorax with a cupreous tinge, 
and elytra of a dark metallic green. 
From the Darling River. 
Eutoma Purpurata: length 9’; of a beautiful dark 
purple, more brilliant on the elytra; the longitudinal 
grooves of the head oblique, extending to the height of the 
posterior part of the eyes, diverging in front towards the 
anterior angles of the head ; a small punctiform impression 
just behind the eyes; thorax longer than broad, with its 
sides parallel, rounded behind; it is rather bisinuated on 
its posterior margin; it is covered with faint transverse 
striole ; it has a longitudinal sulcate on the middle, a 
linear, transverse and oblique impression on the anterior 
angles, and a rounded and very faint one behind on each 
of the posterior angles; these latter are joined by a 
transverse one; the thorax has a narrow border on the 
sides and behind; elytra smooth to the eye, but when 
seen through a magnifying power they show longitudinal 
lines of very faint transverse points; they are margined 
on their posterior part with a deep punctiform impres- 
sion, and on the axillary angle with an- irregular one ; 
their anterior tibiz are armed with two very strong teeth ; 
the antenne are hirsute, except on their first articles ; the 
palpz are purple, with their ends orange.
