ADDITIONS TO THE INSECT-FAUNA OF LORD HOWE 
ISLAND, AND DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW AUSTRALIAN 
COLEOPTERA. 
By A. Sidney Olliff, 
Entomologist at tlie Australian Museum and Department of 
Agriculture, New South Wales. 
The present paper contains descriptions of two Longicorn 
beetles from Lord Howe Island, obtained since the publication 
of my report on the insect-fauna of that island,* and of two 
Coleoptera from the Australian Continent which, for various 
reasons, it is desirable to name. Opportunity has been 
also taken to publish figures of the following recently 
described Longicorn s : — Toxeutes rasilis, from Norfolk Island ; 
Rhytiphora rosei , from Coonamble, N S. Wales ; Monohammus 
( estlieticus , from Cion curry ; and M. artius and Nothophysis 
barnardi , from Duaringa, Queensland. 
RUTELIDzE. 
Anoplognathus punctulatus, sp. n. 
(PI. x., Figs. 8 , 8a, 8b.) 
Ovate, bronze-green, shining, finely and closely punctured ; 
front of head and margins of the pro thorax and elytra inclining 
to coppery, the latter with the strise almost obsolete 5 pygidium 
densely pubescent and setose. Head finely and very closely 
punctured ; clypeus narrowed behind, with the anterior margin 
strongly reflexed in the male, the angles prominent ; in the 
female regularly rounded. Antennae reddish testaceous. Pro- 
thorax strongly rounded in front, the punctuation fine and 
exceedingly close at the sides. Scutellum very finely and 
sparingly punctured. Elytra ample, arcuately narrowed 
behind, finely and closely punctured, the punctuation rather 
finer at the sides. Legs and underside bronzy-green, clothed 
with long silky grey pubescence. Length 21-23 mm. 
Mt. Bellenden-Ker, Queensland. 
This species evidently belongs to that division of the genus 
Anoplognathus in which the pygidium in both sexes is clothed 
with hair. In general facies it is near Calloodes prasinus, Macl.,
