CARABID.E. 

 XAXTHOPIICEA. 



X, satelles, sp. nov. Elongata ; nitida ; brunneo-testaeea, an- 

 tennis palpis pedibusque dilutioribus, elytris et prothorace 

 (ut X. infuscaUf', Chaud.) piceo-vittatis ; prothorace quam 

 latiori fere longiori, lateribus antiee minus fortiter rotundatis 

 postice fortiter sinuatis, angulis posticis acutis sat fortiter 

 extrorsum directis ; elytris punctulato-striatis, interstitiis 

 sparsim subtiliter punctulatis, 3 puncturis setiferis 4 

 instructo. Long., 4 1.; lat., 1-^ 1. 

 Resembles X. infuscata, Chaud., and X. miyustula, Chaud., 

 but differs from them both in having no setiferous punctures on 

 the fifth interstice of the elytra. Differs from infuscata also by 

 its narrower and more elongate form (the proth<^)rax by measure- 

 ment scarcely so wide as long) ; and from angustula by the hind 

 angles of its prothorax more strongly directed outward. 



S. Australia ; Eyre's Peninsula. 



X. filiformis, sp. nov. Elongata : angustissima ; nitida ; 



testacea, sutura plus minusve infuscata, capite prothorace 



antennisque rufescentibus : prothorace leviter transverse, 



lateribus antiee modice rotundatis postice sinuatis, angulis 



posticis acutis parvis extrorsum minus evidenter directis ; 



elytris punctulato-striatis, interstitiis sparsim subtilissime 



punctulatis, 3^ puncturis setiferis 3 instructo. Long., 3| 1. : 



lat., 1 1. 



Even narrower and more elongate than the preceding. 



Colouied quite differently from infuscata, angustula, and satelleSy 



and differing from them also ^n^er alia by the much finer 



punctu ration of its elytral interstices, and from the former two 



by the absence of setiferous punctures on the fifth interstice. 



The three punctures on the third interstice will distinguish it 



from lissodera, Chsiud., jmrallela, Chaud., Rnd/erruginea, Chaud. 



S. Australia ; Goat Island, off Goolwa.
