rounded. Elytra as wide or slightly wider than long, each 
distinctly separately rounded. Femora moderately thickened, 
distance between posterior less than their length. Length 1, 
width | mm. 
Hob.— Windsor, Sydney, N.S.W. 
The colour of the base of the elytra will at once distinguish 
this somewhat abundant species. 
Sericoderus apicalis, n.sp. 
Broad. Testaceous above and below; prothorax with a piceous 
mark at apex (sometimes very indistinct); apex of elytra edged 
with black; head — except muzzle — brown; legs, palpi and base 
of antennae pale testaceous, apical joints piceous. Elytra with 
rather long and not very dense pubescence, shorter but equally 
as dense on prothorax; undersurface — except head — as densely 
pubescent as above. Elytra densely and minutely punctate, on 
the undersurface the punctures are very indistinct. 
Prothorax feebly depressed and rounded in the middle of base, 
angles largely produced, acute. Scutellum transverse, semi- 
circularly triangular. Elytra longer than wide, considerably 
wider at base than at apex, each distinctly separately rounded. 
Length 1 J, width J mm.

The colour of the apex of the elytra at once distinguishes this 
species. 
Sericoderus concolor, n.sp. 
Broad. Reddish-testaceous, legs very slightly paler; antenna? 
brown at apex. Elytra with long and rather dense pubescence, 
prothorax sparsely clothed; on the undersurface (except abdominal 
segments) the pubescence is very fine. Elytra and undersurface 
densely and not very minutely punctate. 
Prothorax bisinuate at base, base widely rounded in the middle, 
angles produced, acute. Scutellum widely transverse, semi- 
circularly rounded. Elytra longer than wide, apex conjointly 
rounded. Femora not very stout. Length I I, width |- mm.
