The appearance of the elytral infuscated area is typically like that in the individual in Fig. 1; however, it is extremely variable. The dark region can cover nearly the entire elytral disc and be very dark or quite indistinct. The darker region may be truncated and the basal third of the elytra is the ground color. In other specimens, the infuscation is nearly oval, restricted to the central region and only reaches the fourth interval. The first interval is frequently paler.	en	Will, Kipling (2019): Taxonomic Review of the Australian Genus Pediomorphus Chaudoir, 1878 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Abacetini).

Straneo (1960) included only the holotype and an allotype under his species and deferred several other specimens that were smaller; he noted they varied enough to cause him to suspect they were other species. He was correct, and two of those specimens are included here under Pediomorphus semilaevis Will, new species.	en	Will, Kipling (2019): Taxonomic Review of the Australian Genus Pediomorphus Chaudoir, 1878 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Abacetini).
