iniddU\ shoulders feebly intlated : with dense and line inincture'.s, 

 and each with traces of three very feebly raised lines. Lfffn 

 Innir. tibial spurs short but distinct. Lenofth, 7^ — 9 mm. 



There are usually four black spots on tlie prnthorax — a fadrly 

 large one on each side near the middle of the base (but not on 

 the extreme base), and a much smaller one on each side about 

 one-third from apex ; these latter are often reduced in size and 

 occasionally are absent ; on an occasional specimen there are 

 also two or three more small spots. Numerous specimens were 

 taken cl )se to the sea beach. 



In Blackburn's table of the Australian Oedemeridae this 

 species would be placed in his typical section of the genus 

 Copidita. The claws are slightly swollen at the base as in 

 Kershuwi. The eyes are not so coarsely faceted as in punctum, 

 still the facets are much larger than in Ischnomera sul)lineata.^ 



1 70. Pseiidolychus liaeniort hoidalis. Fab. 



Twelve sjiecimens from the island are before me, three have 

 the t}ijica)l red tip of the elytra, two have the red tip almost 

 absent, whilst the others have the elytra entirely dark. I ha.ve 

 seen no similar specimens as the latter from Tasmania or Aus- 

 tralia.

Dark reddish brown, appendages paler. Densely clothed with 

 white scales, usually more or less feebly mottled with brown ; 

 with dense, tine, white setae. 



Eyta proujinent, coarsely faceted, and rather small. Scrobes 

 distinct from above. Antennae extending to base of prothorax, 

 scape about the length of funicle and club combined, first joint 

 of funicle slightlv longer than second. Prothorax moderately 



1 There is coiisidenililc difference in the size of the facets of snblineata and atkiiisoni, 

 aw! accordiiis; to the talile tliese would cause the species to be ijenerically separated.
