Vhagonoplianti anthicoidti>, n.sp. 



Of a uniform and l)right castaneous, tip of abdomen, tarsi and 

 l>ulpi very little paler. With short, depressed, and rather sparse, 

 stramineous hairs or pubescence. 



Head distinctly transverse; with a siiort transverse antennary 

 ridge on each side, and a small fovea behind each ridge. Eyes 

 rather small, latero-median and pronjincnt. Antennae not very 

 long, joints of subcontinuous Avidth. Frothorar somewhat de- 

 pressed, distinctly longer than wide, widest close to apex; base with 

 two small foveae and a more distinct one on each side, although 

 only partially visible from al)ove. Ehjfvd depressed, base wider 

 than base of prothorax, but not wider than near its apex, sides 

 moderately rounded and widest at about basal two-fifths; with 

 fairly numerous, and. foi- the genus, rather coarse punctures on 

 basal half, becoming smaller posteriorly. Ltgs moderately long; 

 hind coxae feebly separated; hind femora decidedly pedunculated, 

 the others much less noticeably so. Length, 1 2/3 mm. 



Hah. — N. 8. Wales : Sydney, Glen Innes (A. M. Lea). 



A depressed species, in general appearance like several species 

 of Heterognathus, but the hind coxae are almost touching. The 

 elytral punctures are stronger than in the pi-eceding species. The 

 shape and general appearance are decidedly suggestive of some of 

 the pale species of Anthicus. 



The second to sixth joints of antennae' are of even width, the 

 others regularly increasing in width, but as the ninth and tenth, 

 in addition to being wider, are somewhat longer than the seventh, 

 the antennae might be regarded as having a three-jointed club; the 

 eleventh joint is subconical. and almost as long as the ninth and 

 tenth combined.
