Tachys lindi, Blackburn. 



Among the Bembidiides from King's Sound, in the Macleay 

 Museum, the commonest species is one that I take to be T. lindi, 

 Blkb. (var.) It differs from a type specimen of T. /^nrf^ received 

 from Mr. Blackburn by being smaller (length 2-5 mm.) and of a 

 lighter build. T. lindi seems to be a variable species in size and 

 colour marks; its constant characters appear to be (a) a more or 

 less testaceous macula behind the shoulder and another towards 

 the apex of each elytron, (h) the anterior discoidal puncture of 

 the elytra placed about the middle of their length on the course of 

 the third stria. Many of the specimens from King's Sound 

 (evidently immature) have the elytra almost wholly testaceous 

 with variously placed cloudy dark marks. 



Hah. : South Australia — Port Lincoln District (Blackburn); 

 N.S. Wales — Windsor (Lea); West Australia — Swan River and 

 Beverley (Lea); Variety 1 King's Sound (Froggatt). 



Tachys transversicollis, Macleay. 



The colour varies from pale testaceous (immature specimens) to 

 testaceous with the disc of the elytra infuscate, or even the whole
