Mordslla fulvonotataj n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, black, the elytra with a large fulvous 
humeral patch ; the head and pro thorax uniformly clothed with 
fusco-cinereous pubescence ; the elytra with the suture and the 
humeral mark yellowish-cinereous-pubescent, the rest of the 
pubescence purplish- black ; the oral organs and legs, the hind 
femora excepted, in great part ferruginous or testaceous ; the 
antennae with the basal three or four joints testaceous, the other 
joints infuscate ; the under surface uniformly clothed with fusco- 
cinereous pubescence. Antennae rather slender, short, joint 4 much 
longer than 3, 5-10 very little longer than broad. Pygidium 
elongate. Length (to end of the elytra) 21—3 mm. 
Hob. Tasmania — Hobart and Franklin. 
Three specimens. 
Mordella 'pygmsea, n. sp. 
Moderately long, narrow, black, somewhat shining, rather 
sparsely, uniformly clothed with fuscous pubescence ; the 
antennae and legs, the tibial spurs included, black. Antennas 
elongate, slender, joint 4 stouter thau, and nearly twice as long 
as, 3, 4-10 subequal, longer than broad. Pygidium elongate, 
slender. Length (to end of the elytra) 2\ mm. 
Hah. Tasmania — Hobart. 
Three specimens. This is one of the most inconspicu- 
ous species of the genus known to me. It has quito 
the appearance of a MordelUstena ; but the hind tibias 
are without oblique ridges on their outer face (the usual 
short apical one excepted), and the insect, therefore, is 
a true Mordella. 
Mordella parva J n. sp. 
Moderately long, narrow, black, somewhat shining, rather 
sparsely, uniformly clothed with fuscous pubescence ; the 
antennae black, the basal joint ferruginous ; the femora and 
tibiae black, the tarsi rufous, with the extreme apex of each 
joint black, the tibial spurs yellow. Antennae short, slender, 
joints 3 and 4 short, equal, 5 stouter and much longer than 4, 
5-10 subequal, fully as broad as long. Pygidium elongate, slender. 
Length (to end of the elytra) 2 mm. 
Hah. Tasmania — Hobart. 
One specimen. Extremely like M. pygmsea, of which 
I at first thought it might be the female ; but this cannot
