PAEDERINI. 
20. Paederus setifer, n. sp. 
Apterous, red, elytra blue, last two abdominal segments black. 
Antennae, palpi and legs entirely testaceous. Length 10 mm. 
Very near P. andrewesi, Fvl., but differs by the longer, metallic 
blue elytra, the entirely testaceous legs and antennae, and the 
more numerous erect setae. 
Head red, slightly transverse with rounded posterior angles, 
very sparingly punctured, finely setose. Antennae with all the 
joints elongate, gradually decreasing in length from the third. 
Thorax red, longer than broad, rounded in front, narrowed pos- 
teriorly, not margined at the sides, very sparingly punctured, finely 
setose. Hlytra scarcely as long as the thorax, narrowed at the 
shoulders and widened behind, rather coarsely and somewhat 
asperately punctured, with well marked erect setae. Abdomen 
finely and rather sparingly punctured, pubescence rather long, 
partly erect. 
3g: 7th ventral segment with moderately broad, deep excision, 
the sides of which are parallel. 
Hab. CrEyton, Madulsima (British Museum Collection). 
21. Paederus aliiceps, n. sp. 
Apterous, red, elytra very short, blue; abdomen black or reddish 
brown. Antennae, palpi and legs testaceous, the apex of the first 
infuscate. Length 8 mm. 
Allied to P. capillaris, Fvl., but differs from it by the red head 
and the absence of long black setae. 
Head large, suborbicular, transverse, red, glabrous, very sparingly 
punctured. Antennae moderate, 2nd joint shorter than the Ist 
and 3rd, all the joints longer than broad gradually decreasing in 
length. Thorax red, scarcely as broad as the head, oval-oblong, 
a little narrower behind than in front, finely and very sparingly 
punctured. lytra about half the length of the thorax, bright blue, 
narrowed at the shoulders and widened posteriorly, puncturation 
coarse, sparing and somewhat asperate, sparingly furnished with 
black setae. Abdomen black, or reddish brown, finely and very 
sparingly punctured, sparingly setose.
