A. hepatica, sp. nov. Fem. Elongato-ovalis ; nitida ; livida, 
antennis apicem versus nigricantibus ; capite fere levi, inter 
oculos suleato ; antennis fere ut przcedentis sed articulo 2° 
quam 3" vix breviori; prothorace fere ut preecedentis sed 
antice minus angustato, sparsim minus subtiliter punctulato, 
lateribus minus arcuatis, angulis anticis magis incrassatis 
oblique subtruncatis ; elytris haud striatis seriatim minus 
crebre minus subtiliter (suturam versus vix seriatim), inter- 
stitiis planis sparsim inequaliter punctulatis (sicut series 
indistinctz apparent).

The uniform nitid livid coloring of this species seems to be a 
marked character. The elytral puncturation is on the same plan 
as that of the preceding (A. jugularis), but the seriate punctures 
are less fine and much less closely placed, and the puncturation of 
the interstices is very uneven, being near the base and suture so 
strong as almost entirely to confuse the series and in other parts 
becoming finer so as to leave the series tolerably distinct.

A. variegata, Waterh. An example in my collection from 
Tasmania (the locality of the type) agrees so well with Mr. 
Waterhouse’s brief description of this species that there seems 
hardly any room for doubt about the correctness of its identifica- 
tion. Its small size, short robust form and variegated non- 
metallic elytra give it a facies so entirely different from (say) 
A. chrysis that one would not expect to find those two associated 
generically. Their structural characters however are very similar, 
and if Dr. Baly’s view of Avsipoda be accepted,-—that it isa 
genus in which several characters that in many genera are stable 
are subject to variation,—there seems to be no reason for exclud- 
ing this species from Arsipoda. The following four species are 
all extremely closely allied to the insect referred to above, and 
with it form a very distinct group in the genus. I have speci- 
mens from the mountainous districts of Victoria and N.S. Wales 
which seem to me to be A. variegata.
