having the apical joint fully as long if not longer than the third, 

 the head and abdominal segments without impressions. Mr. 

 Dumbrell informs me that he captured the three specimens 

 whilst crawling out of the same burning log. 



Malacodermid^. 



Selenurus granulatus, n.sp. 



^. Elongate, shining, depressed. Testaceous-red; head with a 

 small oblique brown marking close to eyes, palpi black, basal 

 joints of antennas more or less diluted with red, the rest black; 

 prothorax with the apical third black — except on a slight inter- 

 ruption in the middle; elytra coppery green; tip of femora, apical 

 half of tibia; and the tarsi black; abdomen with the segments 

 having on the undersurface black markings at the sides, the 

 apical only entirely black, on the upper surface there is in addition 

 a black macula in the middle of each ; eyes dark brown. Covered 

 all over — densest on elytra — with short white pubescence; the 

 upper surface in addition with short black setiform hairs — most 

 noticeable on prothorax. Minutely punctate all over. 



Head feebly transverse; eyes moderate, not very prominent ; 

 antennas slender, reaching or slightly passing posterior coxae. Pro- 

 thorax feebly transverse; wider than head, not much wider at 

 apex than at base; irregularly and shallowly depressed ; base 

 margined, sides feebly reflexed. Elytra not twice as long as head 

 and prothorax combined, each somewhat wedge-shaped; the whole 

 surface densely covered with small, shining, rounded elevations, 

 giving it an embossed appearance. Legs moderately long, femora 

 thickened, posterior tibiaa bent. Length to apex of elytra 5 J, of 

 abdomen 6 J; width limm. 



^. Differs in being larger, broaden, head narrower, with shorter 

 antennae; the black of prothorax appearing as lateral maculae; the 

 disk smoother, &c. Length to apex of elytra 6, of abdomen 7f ; 

 width 1^ mm. 



Hab. — Bunbury, West Australia.
