LAMIIDAE. 457 
This remarkable species stands alone. The elongate contour, superficial 
variegation, and distinct sculpture are unmistakably different from any of 
our described species. 
3. Length, 54 mm. ; breadth, 1} mm. 
Mount Dick. A solitary male found amongst decaying leaves by 
Mr. T. Hall on the 10th March, 1914. 
3947. Somatidia flavidorsis sp. nov. 
Elongate, medially narrowed, moderately convex, slightly  nitid, 
variegate ; the legs and greater portion of elytra flavescent, but with the 
humeral region and sides as far as the middle, the sides behind the posterior 
femora, and an irregular space on top of the hind slope but not extending 
to the sides, of nearly the same silky fuscous hue as the thorax, the tibiae 
with similar spots near the base and apex ; the depressed elytral pubescence 
is hardly noticeable and corresponds with the derm in colour, that of the 
head and thorax is greyish ; there are no erect setae. 
Head distantly punctate, plane above, with a distinct central stria. 
Thorax very little broader than long, widest and moderately rounded before 
the middle, a little narrowed behind ; disc only slightly convex, not at all 
tuberculate, with 4 shallow indistinct impressions near the middle, its 
punctation distinct, distant, and irregular. Elytra elongate-oval, of the 
same width as thorax at the base, more than twice its length, only slightly 
wider than it is before the middle ; they are without crests, their punctures 
though not coarse are sharply marked, distant from each other, almost 
regularly seriate, but become confluent towards the extremity. 
Antennae stout, reaching to just beyond the hind thighs, bearing short 
greyish setae and pubescence, and, except the almost wholly blackish 
3rd and 4th joints, quite unspotted chestnut-red ; their 3rd joint is scarcely 
double the length of the 4th, which latter attains the base of the thorax. 
Legs rather elongate. 
This is another peculiar species without any near ally, and can be 
separated from the others by the sharply impressed serial punctation of the 
elytra and nigrescent 3rd and 4th antennal joints. 
3. Length, 4? mm.; breadth, 12 mm. 
Ben Lomond. Unique. Found by Mr. T. Hall, on the 3rd March, 
1914, amongst leaf-mould. 
3948. Somatidia suffusa sp. nov. 
Elongate, moderately convex, slightly nitid, without inequalities of 
surface ; the head, sides of thorax, and about half of the elytra fuscous, 
the dorsal area of these last between the middle and hind thighs, and the 
hind slope rufo-castaneous, the marks not well defined ; these light parts 
bear conspicuous, depressed, tawny pubescence so disposed as to cause a 
distinctly spotted appearance, there are also a few erect greyish setae 
behind ; legs and antennae fusco-testaceous, tibiae slightly bimaculate. 
Head with a few fine punctures in front, and a median stria above. 
Thorax of about equal length and breadth, widest and rounded before 
the middle, gradually narrowed towards the base; with very few fine 
scattered punctures and a central fovea in front of the base. Scutellum 
quite triangular, rather large. Elytra elongate-oval, more than double the 
length of thorax, of the same width as it is at the base, but broader than
