20 ARKIV FÖR ZOOLOGI. BAND 14. N:0 11. 



Fam. Melandryidae. 



Scraptia imiiiatura sp. nov. 



Påle flavous, bead slightly infuscated. Clothed with very 

 short, whitish pubescence. 



Head gently convex, with dense and minute punctures. 

 Eyes large, close together in front, rather less deeply notched 

 than usual in genus. Antennae almost twice as long as head 

 is wide. Prothorax about thrice as wide as long, punctures 

 much as on head. Elytra with outlines continuous with those 

 of prothorax, parallel-sided to near apex, which does not 

 quite cover the tip of abdomen; with dense and minute 

 punctures. Spurs to hind tibiae unequal. Length, 1,5 mm. 



Hab. — North Western Australia: Kimberley district 

 (Dr. E. Mjöberg). Type, and three other specimens, in 

 Stockholm Museum. 



The smallest species of its genus as yet known from 

 Australia. There is a depression on each side of the pro- 

 thorax, and a narrow median line, but the depressions vary 

 in size, and the median line in depth, apparently owing to 

 irregular contraction in drying. 



Fam. Mordellidae. 



Mordella calopasa Lea? — A specimen from Mount 

 Tambourine, 9 mm in length, possibly represents a variety 

 of this species, it differs from the typical and other varietal 

 forms, in having the beautiful golden pubescence of the 

 elytra uniformly continued to beyond the middle, and with 

 a large round spöt on each near the apex, the adjacent 

 surface with a few golden hairs scattered about; the middle 

 legs are entirely dark, and the basal joints of antennae 

 obscurely reddish. 



Mordella eloiigatula Macl. — Bellenden-Ker. 



Mordella iiotabilis Macl. — Bellenden-Ker. 



Mordella leucosticta Germ. — Colosseum. 



Mordella graphiptera Champ. — Mount Tambourine. 



Mordella vitticollis Lea. ~ Bellenden-Ker. 



Mordellisteiia austrina Champ. — Mount Tambourine.
