NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
the anterior — and all the tarsi paler. Above sparsely clothed, 
with short pubescence, longest and most distinct on apical half 
of elytra; lower surface with very minute pubescence. Head and 
prothorax very densely and rather strongly punctate; elytra 
coarsely and densely, sterna not very strongly, abdominal 
segments minutely punctate. 
Head rather small, closely joined to prothorax, strongly trans- 
verse; eyes large, not prominent, placed close to base; antennae 
inserted close to apex, lst-5th joints cylindrical, 1st arcuate, as 
long as 2nd-3rd combined, 2nd thick, transverse, not half the 
length of 3rd, 3rd slightly bent, as long as 3rd-4th combined, 4th 
narrowest of all, 4th-10th subequal in length and gradually 
increasing in width, 9th-10th feebly transverse, 11th large, thick, 
apex strongly rounded, about the length of 3rd. Prothorax 
transverse, as wide as base of head, truncate at base and apex, 
sides feebly rounded; an oblique elliptic impression on each side 
at base. Elytra shaped as in the preceding. Legs long, posterior 
femora slightly thickened, posterior tibiee very feebly bent 
inwardly. Length 14, width imm. 
Hah. — Forest Reefs. (On a fence at dusk.) 
The shape of the basal joints of the antennae renders this species 
exceedingly distinct. 
Pyrochroid m. 
Lemodes elongata, n.sp. 
Elongate, parallel-sided, subdepressed, the derm shining. Red 
(in some lights with a faint purplish gloss), undersurface — except 
mesosternum which is darker — very slightly paler than above; 
scutellum and eyes black; antenme black, two basal joints red, 
third reddish-piceous, apical joint white. Above densely clothed 
with moderately long pubescence, which is almost concolorous 
with the derm; on the elytra it is placed in a wavy manner, 
causing them to appear indistinctly patterned; the whole upper- 
surface is rather sparsely clothed with long semiupright hairs, 
densest on elytra; undersurface, legs and antennae with rather
