120 THE INSECTS OF GAYNDAH, 



in having the median line distinct. Elytra large, rather depressed, 

 widening from the base to near the apex, and faintly striated and 

 punctured. The legs are yellow. 



154. — Bembididm bipartitum. n. sp. 

 Length 1| lines. 



Antennae nearly as long as the body. Labrum deeply emar- 

 ginated. The terminal subulate joint of the palpi long. Head red, 

 long, and very deeply canaliculated on each side from behind the 

 eyes to the labrum. Thorax also red, transversal, convex, much 

 rounded at the anterior angles, acutely pointed and slightly 

 reflexed at the posterior angles, and slightly prolonged into a 

 lobe at the base, with the median line deeply marked and the 

 anterior transverse line making a deep emarginate impression in 

 front. The body is pedunculated as in Scarites. Elytra jet 

 black, very nitid, of an oblong form and rather depressed, with 

 a deep stria on each side of the suture, and two large punctui-es, 

 one near the base, the other below the middle of each elytron. 

 The legs are strong and of a pale red. 



This species ought no doubt to form a new genus. I have not, 

 however, been able to get a specimen for dissection, and cannot 

 consequently undertake to give the generic characters correctly. 



The three following species were accidentally omitted in their 

 proper places in this list. 



155. — Helluosoma atrum, Casteln. Not. Aust. Col. 

 1867, page 21. 



156. — BaDISTEE ANCHOMENOIDES. n. Sp. 



Length 3 lines. 

 Black, nitid, with a slight iridescence on the elytra. Head 

 smooth, not deeply impressed on each side in fx'ont of the eyes, 

 with the labrum thick, membranaceous looking, and triangularly 

 emarginated. Thorax square and obtusely angled with the basal 

 impressions short but deep, and the median line distinct. Elytra 

 striated with the interstices flat. Legs, antennae, and margin of 

 thorax and elytra yellow.
