142 Mr, Arthur M. Lea’s Catalogue of 
Head widely rounded in front; with numerous clearly defined 
punctures of moderate size in front and on the sides sparser and 
smaller elsewhere. Antenne in repose extending to hind coxe, their 
first joint stout and more than thrice the length of second, second 
subglobular, third thinner than and twice the length of second, 
fourth the width of third and the length of second, the others 
regularly increasing in width, eleventh the length of ninth and tenth 
combined. Prothorax very strongly convex, sides almost vertical, in 
front with small indistinct punctures, elsewhere smaller and still less 
distinct. Scutellum extremely minute or absent. lytra very little 
longer than head and prothorax combined, almost as wide as long, 
outline not regularly continuous with that of prothorax, punctures 
very minute and indistinct ; epipleure very wide, strongly narrowed 
behind but not depressed at hind coxew. Abdomen with fairly 
numerous but small punctures, rest of under-surface almost im- 
punctate. Length 33-4 mm. 
Hab. TASMANIA: Mount Wellington (in very wet moss). 
There are seven specimens before me, and not two are 
exactly alike in colour. The colour of the upper-surface 
is more commonly black glossed with metallic green, but 
in three specimens whilst the greenish gloss is present 
the ground-colour is more of a reddish-brown especially 
towards the tip of the elytra; the tip, however, is always 
more or less reddish; the under-surface is of a more or 
less dark reddish-brown, sometimes paler at the sides 
and the appendages are usually paler, the legs and basal 
joints of the antennx being sometimes almost flavous. 
In some lights the elytra at the base appears to have very 
faint traces of striation. 
Although in many respects close to the preceding 
species the antenne differ from those of that species and 
from all the others here noted in not forming a distinct 
club, the four terminal joints are certainly larger and 
wider than the others, but the increase in width is quite 
regular from the fourth joint. It is also more convex 
than grifithi and the elytral epipleuree are very much 
wider and are otherwise different. 
PEDILOPHORUS MULTICOLOR, nN. sp. 
Upper-surface (except sides of prothorax and elytra) dark, with 
various metallic glosses, lower-surface reddish-flavous, appendages 
paler. Upper-surface with fairly long golden semi-decumbent hair ; 
elsewhere with fine pubescence,
