Notes on Australian Coleoptera. 205 
between the costze are punctated ; two punctiform impressions 
are seen on the posterior part of the third cost, and the 
margin is impressed ; lower side of the body and legs black, 
anteuns with their four first articles of the same colour, the 
others brown and hirsute, the mandibule are very long. 
From Lans Cove in New South Wales. 
Feronia Superba: length 17’; of the same colour as 
Episcopalis, but broader, head larger, thorax shorter and 
more rounded on the sides; elytra broader, oval, but more 
rounded ; they have each three strong costze, between each 
of which is a much smaller oue; there is no appearance of 
punctated strize, and the humeral angle is rounded; the 
male is much smaller than the female. 
I owe the two sexes of this handsome insect to Dr. 
Howitt, who found them on the Hunter River, in New South 
Wales. 
Feronia Wilsoni: length 13’; black, with the head, 
thorax, and margin of the elytra of a fine purple; the 
thorax and elytra have the form of Hpiscopalis, the latter 
being oval and elongated, but their coste are more like 
those of Superba, being only three large ones, without the 
sutura, and other very faint ones between these; the 
punctated striz which separate them are very distinct, the 
humeral angles are prominent, and the third large costz 
forms a sort of carina. 
I have only one specimen of this insect, which I received 
from Mr. Wilson of Brisbane. 
Feronia Hercules: length 18’; of a fine, brilliant black, 
except the elytra; head large, smooth, with two longitudi- 
nal impressions between the eyes; thorax rather square, a 
little broader behind than in front, rounded laterally, its 
greatest breadth being a little before the middle of its 
length, it has a transverse impression in front, which is only 
strongly marked towards its ends, a moderate longitudinal 
sulcate in the middle, and two strong elongate impressions 
behind ; elytra oval, elongated, a little broader behind than 
at the base, the axillary angles faintly marked, on each 
elytra three strong longitudinal coste, without the sutura, 
and between them others much more feeble; the punctate 
strize visible ; three punctiform impressions behind on the 
first large coste, the margin feebly impressed; antenne, 
hirsute and brown, except their four first articles. 
This fine insect inhabits the pine mountains of Queens- 
land.
