joint constricted at the middle. Pro thorax cordate, as long as 
broad, the sides parallel behind, the base with a reflexed margin 
which projects laterally ; the disc broadly transversely depressed 
before the middle, the depression deepening into a large fovea 
towards the sides, and also transversely depressed in the centre at 
the base ; the surface densely, finely punctate, with a smooth 
impressed median line at the base. Elytra twice the width of the 
prothorax, moderately elongate ; very densely, minutely punctate, 
with three faint costae on the disc and a more distinct one near the 
margin. Beneath very densely, minutely punctate. 
^ . Fifth ventral segment truncate and fimbriate at the apex; the 
genital organs exposed, the outer lobes of which are long, curved, 
and rather slender.

Hah. Tasmania — Hobart. 
This species, as well as the preceding, does duty for 
C. punctum, MacL, in collections ; it also occurs on tlie 
mainland of Australia, G. macleayi may be known from 
G. punctum by its less elongate shape, the more opaque 
and much more finely and densely punctured surface, the 
trivittate thorax, the denser and finer sericeous pube- 
scence, and the very different structure of the genitalia 
in the male. Found under similar conditions to the pre- 
ceding, G. punctum (Walker). 
Gopidita torriday n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, depressed, opaque, fusco-testaceous, the 
prothorax and elytra indeterminately darker at the sides, the legs and 
under surface testaceous ; above and beneath thickly clothed with 
a fine fulvo-cinereous pubescence. Head closely, finely punctate; 
the eyes in both sexes very large, coarsely granulated ; the man- 
dibles bifid at the tip ; the apical joint of the maxillary palpi 
elongate and cultriform in both sexes ; the antennae elongate, 
filiform, the apical joint slightly constricted at the middle. Pro- 
thorax oblong-cordate, a little longer than broad, parallel at the 
sides behind, the base with a reflexed margin which projects 
laterally ; the disc broadly transversely depressed before the 
middle, the depression deepening into a large shallow fovea on 
either side of the median line, and flattened in the centre at the 
base ; the entire surface densely, finely punctate. Elytra moder- 
ately elongate, twice the width of the prothorax ; very densely, 
finely punctate, with two faint costge on the disc and a more distinct 
one near the margin. Beneath densely, very finely punctate.
