5. AULACOPHORA AUSTRO-CALEDONICA, MoutrOUZ. AuYl. SoC. Ent. 



France, 1861, p. 299. — Subelongata, postice paullo arapliata, con- 

 vexa, flava, nitida, verticis maculis duabus, pectore abdomineque 

 nigris, hoc basi et ad latera palHde piceo ; thorace transversim sul- 

 cato, sulco fere recto ; elytris nitidis, utrisque plagis magnis duabus, 

 una basali ad suturam abbreviata, altera pone medium positis, 

 nigris. Long. 2|-3 lin. 



Mas. Auteunis fihformibus, robustis ; abdominis segmento anah tri- 

 lobato, lobo intermedio oblongo, profunde concavo. 



Fern. Abdominis segmento anali lateribus rectis, obhque convergenti- 

 bus, apice extreme obtuso. 



Sal). New Caledonia, Balade. 



Vertex with two large black patches, separated in the middle 

 by a narrow flavous Hue ; antennae filiform in both sexes, more 

 robust in the than in the other sex, the joints slightly stained 

 with piceous. Thorax more than one half broader than long ; its 

 sides sinuate and slightly diverging from the base to the middle, 

 slightly produced immediately before the latter, thence rounded 

 and converging to the apex ; disk impressed across the middle 

 with a deep transverse groove. Elytra oblong, very sliglitly 

 dilated posteriorly, minutely punctured. 



This species closely resembles A. occipitalis in the coloration 

 of its head and underside; the antennae,' however, of the d* of 

 austro-caledonica are simple, not dilated as described by Mr. 

 Jacoby (Annal. del Mus. Civic. Stor. Nat. G-en. 1886, vol. iv. 

 p. 53) ; the male assigned by him to the present insect belongs 

 to another species nearly allied to, if not identical with, 

 A. occipitalis. I possess both sexes of austro-caledonica from 

 New Caledonia.
