118 Arfhar M. Lea: 



eleventh joint is distinctly longer than the two preceding com- 

 bined. Prothorax rather more convex than usual, sides rounded, 

 base scarcely, if at all, wider than apex ; densely and moderately 

 strongly punctate, with a shallow transverse impression in the 

 middle of the base. Elytra wider than, and about once and 

 one-fourth the length of prothorax, shoulders rounded, sides 

 parallel behind them, each feebly separately rounded at apex ; 

 densely and coarsely punctate, the punctures much smaller 

 posteriorly. Abdomen parallel-sided to apical segment, with 

 coarse punctures only in a distinct transverse impression at the 

 base of each segment. Length 3 (vix), to apex of elytra IJ mm. 



Hah. — Victoria : Emerald. 



A small narrow species not very close to any with which I am 

 acquainted ; it should perhaps be placed near inaequalis. The 

 eyes are smaller and much less prominent than is usual in the 

 genus. 



Calodet a i?i aeqini //s, Fvl. 



A specimen from Bunbury (W.A.) under examination appears 

 to represent a variety of this species (I have typical specimens 

 from New South Wales and Tasmania). It differs from the 

 normal form in being smaller, narrower and paler, the median 

 line on the i:)rothorax scarcely pronounced (except at base), with 

 the punctures everywhere sjDarser and much smaller. 



Calodera erifinia, Oil. 



A specimen from Benalla (Victoria) agrees exactly with the 

 description of this species ; two others from Albury (N.S. 

 Wales) differ in having a distinct spot on each side of the 

 elytra, in addition to the basal one ; another from Hobart 

 (Tasmania) has the lateral spots also, but they are obscurely 

 connected with the basal one. The specimens from Albury and 

 Hobart also have the fourth abdominal segment almost as dark 

 as the fifth. 



C(>7i()s<>})ia barycepJialiim, \\. sp. 



Shining. Reddish-testaceous, appendages paler ; suture nar- 

 rowly infuscate. Clothed with short golden pubescence, longer 

 on abdomen than elsewhere : a rather long black hair on each
