 This species is of the short broad form of C. curta, WolL, 

 which it resembles also in respect of sculpture, differing, however, 

 in the strongly marked transverse furrow of its prothorax ; its 

 sculpture is much stronger and coarser than those of the two spe- 

 cies described above.

 C. Andersoni, sp. nov. Oblongo-elongata ; sat nitida ; sat dense 

 (in elytris lineatim) pubescens; supra testaceo-brunnea, 

 subtus piceo ferruginea ; capite prothorace parum angustiori, 

 oculis sat magnis sat prominulis ; prothorace leviter trans- 

 verso, minus crebre profunde nee subtiliter punctulato, ante 

 basin transversim arcuatim sulcato, angulis posticis rotunda- 

 tis ; elytris prothorace duplo latioribus, subtilissime striatis, 

 striis subtiliter punctulatis, sculptura apicem versus vix 

 obsoletiori ; antennis pedibusque testaceis, illarum clava vix 

 infuscata. Long., f 1. ;' lat., -^ 1. (vix). 

 This minute Corticaria differs from all the preceding in having 

 a very strongly marked transverse sulcus on the hind part of the 

 prothorax, without any round fovea. The puncturation of the 

 prothorax is also distinctive — rather coarse, but ]iot deep, nor 

 very close. 



S. Australia ; Port Lincoln district. Named after my friend, 

 Mr. J. Anderson, of Port Lincoln. 



C. alutacea, sp. nov. Nigro-picea, antennarum basi pedibusque 

 paullo dilutioribus ; lineari-elongata ; subdepressa ; fere 

 glabra ; alutacea ; capite prothoraceque parce punctulatis, 

 hoc basin versus angustato, ante basin fovea magna pro- 

 funda impresso, angulis posticis obtusis bene determinatis, 

 lateribus minute nee crebre denticulatis ; elytris pygidio 

 haud plane tegentibus, subtilissime seriatim punctulatis, 

 antennarum clavte articulis brevibus. Long., .> 1. ; lat., \ 1. 



This species must be extremely close to C. subtilis.si'ina, Reitt., 

 but appears to differ from it in having the hind angles of the 

 prothorax very well deffned, and the joints of the antennal club 

 different, the basal two being quite strongly transverse, and the 

 apical one elongate-globose — all three of equal width infer' se. 

 The fine denticulation of the sides of the prothorax is scarcely 

 noticeable without the use of a compound microscope. 



S. Australia ; in several localities.
