One species only has been referred to this genus from 
Australia, but Ihave now toadd seven more. Superficially 
these would appear to belong to several genera, but they 
are all evidently closely allied despite the fact that some 
are smooth, others are tuberculate and others hairy. I 
have not ventured therefore to propose new genera for 
their reception as the boundaries of Pedilophorus are rather
