Feronia Opulenta: length 8’ ; similar to Plutus in point 
of colouring, but much smaller ; head small and oval ; elytra 
more depressed, and equally covered with strong striz ; a 
series of three or four punctiform impressions on the interval 
between the second and third striz ; the spaces between the 
elytra are convex in this sort, and depressed in the former. 
Mountains of Victoria. Common. 
Feroma Lesueurw: length 9’ ; of a long cylindrical form, 
and of a brilliant bronzed black ; head oblong, with the im- 
pressions between the eyes very feeble ; thorax longer than 
broad, rather cylindrical, with all the angles rounded ; no 
transverse impression in front, but the sulcate and two 
posterior impressions deep ; the surface covered with trans- 
verse striole ; elytra long, oblong, deeply and equally striated 
with two punctiform impressions on the posterior part of 
the interval between the second and third striz ; margin 1m- 
pressed ; the elytra more or less copper colour ; lower side of 
the body and legs of a brilliant black ; tarsi, antennz, and 
palpi of a reddish brown.

Feronia Tasmanica: length 7}; of a brilliant black ; 
head small, elongated, with the two front impressions rather 
feebly marked ; thorax large, almost square, rounded late- 
rally, a little narrower in front than behind ; the impressions 
feeble, with the exception of the two posterior ones, which 
are elongate and deep; elytra oval, depressed, with the 
axillary angles marked ; they are covered with rather deep 
strize, the intervals of which are not elevated ; between the 
second and third strize are three punctiform impressions, and 
the margin is impressed ; palpi, tarsi, and antenne, brown, 
the latter hirsute, except on the first articles. 
Tasmania. 
Feronia Diemenensis: length 82’; nearly allied to the 
precedent, but very distinct; the impressions of the head 
deeper ; thorax more cordiform, and considerably narrowed 
backwards, with the posterior angles brilliant, and rather 
acute; the impressions deeper, and the posterior ones 
broader ; elytra having a dark purple tinge, their strie are 
not so deep near the sutura as towards the margin ; the latter
