Coleoptera, Fart I. 117 



Calodera alfer/ians, n. sp. 



Bright-red ; head sometimes slightly darker than prothorax, 

 elytra (usually obscurely diluted with red along suture and 

 apex) and four apical segments of abdomen piceous or black ; 

 legs testaceous, antennae reddish-brown, the basal joints paler. 

 Rather sparsely clothed with greyish-yellow pubescence, sides 

 with moderately long hairs. 



Head with distinct but rather sparse and small punctures. 

 Antennae moderately long ; first joint not much longer than 

 second, second and third subequal, fourth and fifth feebly, sixth 

 to tenth more distinctly transverse, eleventh as long as the two 

 preceding combined. Prothorax about once and one-half as 

 long as wide, base moderately, the sides more noticeably 

 rounded, base scarcely wider than apex : disc with a. large 

 shallow impression towards base ; with moderately large but 

 not very regularly distributed punctures. Elytra distinctly 

 wider than, and about once and one-third the width of pro- 

 thorax, sides parallel, each feebly separately rounded at apex ; 

 punctures coarser than on prothorax, and almost regular. 

 Ahdomeii parallel-sided to apical segment, with strong punctures 

 only in a distinct transverse impression at the base of each 

 segment. Length 3^, to apex of elytra U mm. 



Hah. — W. Australia : Bridgetown, Swan River. 



In the (four) specimens under examination the prothorax 

 appears to be flattened or very slightly excavated for about a 

 third of its width from the base, but much less towards the 

 apex, the part affected being almost pear-shaped. 



Calodera juicrops, n.sp. 



Testaceous-red, legs paler, abdomen piceous except the apical 

 third of the three basal segments, extreme apex of the fourth, 

 apical half of the sixth and the whole of the seventh ; antennae 

 piceous-brown, the basal joints (and the apical to a slight 

 extent) paler ; base of metasternum clouded with brown. Rather 

 sparsely clothed with moderately short golden pubescence. 



Read longer than wide, with rather small and sparse punc- 

 tures. Antennae as in the preceding species, except that the
