little longer, sides straight and slightly longer than suture ; punctures 

 dense and very small. Ahdonien long, thin and parallel-sided to apex 

 of sixth segment. Length, 3, to apex of elytra 1 ; variation in length,

Hdh. — Tasmania : Railton (from nests of Ertatouutia nirtall icinii. 

 and Iridoiiiyrme r ylaher), Stanley (in tussocks at summit of " Nut "),

 (from a nest of E. mtfaUirii//i), National Park (amongst rotting

A narrow shining species, in general appearance close to Honialotd 

 charitssa, but prothorax without the " four large punctures just be- 

 fore the middle on the disc " of that species. The prothorax is some- 

 times scarcely paler than the elytra, l)ut is usually conspicuously paler. 



Fnljllolnis quadi-ati pentrifi, n.sp. 



Of a rather bright Havous red, elytra and metasternum darker, 

 middle of abdomen still darker. With dense pubescence rather longer 

 than usual in the genus, the sides, except of abdomen, where they 

 are dense, with a few short hairs. 



Head with sides much less rounded than usual ; with very small 

 punctures. Eyes fairly large and prominent. Antennae rather stout, 

 passing base of prothorax, fourth and fifth joints feebly, the sixth to 

 tentli strongly transverse, eleventh almost as long as three preceding 

 combined. Frothorar about as long as wide, sides and base gently 

 rounded, jmnctures small a.nd more or less obscured by clothing. 

 Ehjtni (|uadi'ate, about one-fourth wider than prothorax, and dis- 

 tinctly longer ; with small and moderately dense punctures.. A})do)nen 

 rather narrow and parallel-sided, with strong margins to near apex ; 

 punctures fairly dense and distinct, except at tips of the segments. 

 Length, "2^, to apex of elytra 1^ mm. 



Ha}). — New South Wales : Barraba, from a nest of I'hf^idoh sp. (F. 

 A. Rod way). 



The elytral punctures from some directions appear to be trans-

 species of the genus occurring with ants.

Flavous-red, in places deepening to blond-red, lt\!is. ]ialpi and base
