terior 



xe.-,u. angles almost right angles; densely and moderately 

 coarsely punctate, with a shallow but distinct median Ime. 

 Elytra wider than prothorax and about once and one-half as 

 long, not much wider at apex than at base, each separately 

 rounded at apex; punctures rather coarser and sparser than on 

 prothorax Abdomen almost parallel-sided to apical segment; 

 densely coarsely and irregularly punctate, four basal segments 

 each with a deep transverse sulcus at base. Length 2^, to apex 



of elytra 1 mm. 



Hab.—\V. Australia : Bridgetown. 



A specimen from Karridale differs in being considerably paler 

 with a patch at the outer apex of each elytron, and the fifth 

 abdominal segment rather lightly infuscate. The species appears 

 somewhat out of place in Calodera. but it is certainly congeneric 

 with eritima. 



Calodera rufipen?iis, ii. sp. 

 Red • head, abdomen (except apical half of the subapical and 

 the whole of the apical segments) meso and metasternum 

 piceous or black; antennae piceous, three (or four) basal joints 

 paler; femora slightly infuscate. Moderately clothed with 

 rather short yellowish pubescence, sparser on metasternum and 

 upper surface of abdomen than elsewhere. 



Read (for the genus) rather coarsely punctate: joints of 

 antennae as in the preceding species, except that the filth to 

 tenth are decidedly more transverse. Frothorax about once 

 and one-half as wide as long, base and sides rounded, base not 

 much 'Wider than apex; punctures evenly distributed and 

 rather coarse, mytra slightly wider and (along suture) not 

 much longer than prothorax, apex not much wider than base, 

 each separately rounded at apex ; punctures coarser than on 

 prothorax. Ahdomen almost parallel-sided to apical segment; 

 moderately coarsely and somewhat irregularly punctate ; four 

 basal segments with a strong transverse impression at base. 

 Length 2 J, to apex of elytra 1 mm. 

 Ilab.—y^. Australia : Pinjarrah. 

 In -eneral appearance somewhat like a small Altochara.
