process is not exactly alike on the three other specimens), the curved mark on each 
elytron is narrower, does not touch the suture, and terminates before the base, two 
apical segments of abdomen are pale, the others, as also the femora, have a smaller 
proportion black. 
Carphurus incurvipennis n. sp. 
cJ. Flavous ; elytra (except part of base) of a rather dingy purple. With 
sparse, whitish pubescence, and straggling, dark hairs. 
Head rather long, with four postmedian and two subapical impressions, 
base transversely strigose ; elsewhere with scattered punctures. Eyes rather 
large. Antennae moderately long, . feebly serrated, eleventh joint about half the 
length of first, and distinctly longer than tenth. Prothorax about as long as its 
greatest width, widely and shallowly depressed near base ; with a few scattered 
punctures. Elytra with dense, sharply defined punctures of moderate size, 
becoming smaller about base and apex, each side strongly incurved at basal third 
and then straight to apex. Basal joint of front tarsi with a black inner comb. 
Length, 6 mm. 
Queensland : Brisbane (A. M. Lea). Type, in South Australian Museum. 
This species appears to connect the amdpennis group with the more normal 
forms, as each side of the elytra is incurved at the basal third, but no part 
is produced backwards, as on C. armipennis , fasciculatus , uncinatus , balteatus , and 
purpureipennis ; on the last-named species the part is less produced than on the 
others, but it is pale at the tip, and parts of the legs and of the antenna? are deep 
black, whereas on this species the legs (except for the tarsal combs) and antenna? 
are entirely pale. The curvature of the side of each elytron is not visible from 
directly above, except that its beginning appears as a small subtriangular tooth. 
On the type the metasternum, except its episterna, is deeply infuscated, on a second 
specimen it is scarcely darker than the rest of the under surface. On each there is 
a small black fascicle between the eyes, so strongly curved backwards that its point 
actually touches the head ; it is probable, however, that it does not always do so. 
Carphurus wilsoni n. sp. 
cJ. Flavous red, coppery green, and black. With sparse, whitish pubescence, 
becoming fairly dense on elytra, and with straggling, black hairs. 
Head moderately large, with a small interocular fovea and four irregular 
ones in front, a shallow curved impression towards base, base itself transversely 
strigose and punctate. Antenna? moderately long, rather feebly serrated, eleventh 
joint distinctly longer than tenth. Prothorax about as long as its greatest width 
with a wide irregular impression on apical half, the median part large and rather deep, 
an irregular impression on each side of base ; with scattered punctures, becoming 
fairly numerous on sides. Elytra slightly dilated posteriorly : with crowded 
somewhat rugose punctures of moderate size, becoming smaller but more sharplv 
defined about base and apex. Basal joint of front tarsi moderately long, with a 
black inner comb. Length, 5*5 mm. 
Victoria : Linga, in October. Type (unique), in Mr. F. E. Wilson’s 
collection. 
A very distinct species, allied to C. rhytideres, from the male of which it differs
