Tachys brightensis, sp.nov. 



Subovalis ; nitidus ; niger, subsenesceus ; mandibulis, anten- 

 narum basi palpisque plus minus dilutioribus ; pedibus et 

 elytrorum humeris maculaque subapicali testaceis; prothorace 

 ut T. Ovensensis ; elytris singulis strias 5 prope suturam (his 

 antice et postice penitus obliteratis, stria sutux'ali circum 

 apicem continuata et in disco antrorsum producta) 2que juxta 

 marginem lateralem profunda impressas ferentibus, interstitio 

 3° puncturis setiferis 2 minus perspicuis instructo. 



[Long. 1§, lat. \ line. 

 I do not observe any structural difference between this species 

 and T. Ovensensis, but the markings and sculpture of the elytra are 

 quite distinct ; the sutural stria and the next two on each elytron 

 are completely obliterated in the front quarter, and the 2nd and 

 3rd in the apical quarter also, and in the remaining portion are 

 extremely strongly impressed, while the 4th and 5th reach further 

 forward in front but are still more abbreviated behind ; thus there 

 is a large Isevigate space round the scutellum. 

 Victoria ; near Bright. 



Bembidium victoriense, sp.nov. 



Sat breve ; convexum ; sat nitidum ; ferrugineum, pectore 

 piceo, antennarum basi (his extrorsum fuscis) palpis pedi- 

 busque pallide testaceis, elyti'orum disco obscure infuscato 

 humeris apiceque testaceis ; prothorace fortiter transverso, 

 postice quam antice sat latiori, canaliculato, vix manifesto 

 punctulato, postice utrinque impresso, lateribus anguste 

 marginatis antice sat fortiter rotundatis postice fere parallelis, 

 angulis posticis acute rectis ; elytris fortiter striatis, striis 

 latera versus valde impressis apicem versus obsoletescentibus, 

 interstitiis sat convexis, latitudine majori mox pone basin 

 posita. [Long. 1|^, lat. f line (vix). 



The antennae (set back) reach a little beyond the base of the 

 elytra ; the frontal sulci are moderately strong and diverge some- 

 what hindward ; and there are two fine and somewhat equal carinse
