I. List of the Australian and Tasmanian Mordellidag, 

 with Descriptions of New S_pecies. By Arthur M. 

 Lea, F.E.S. 



[Read October 6th, 1901.] 



Plates I. and II. 



As numerous additions have been made to this family 

 since the publication of Masters' Catalogue, I have con- 

 sidered it advisable to preface the descriptions of a number 

 of new forms with a list of the species hitherto recorded 

 from Australia and Tasmania. 



For some of the species additional localities are given, 

 and a few previously referred to Ilordella are now first 

 placed in Mordcllistcna and Tomoxia. Several synonyms 

 are also now first noted.
