MR. r. H. WATERHOUSE ON NEW 



paler, the anterior very much dilated, the basal joint transverse. 

 Length 3 millims. 



Rah. Falkland Islands. 



Elmis brtji^neus, sp. nov. 



Moderately convex, dull pitchy brown, paler beneath. Head 

 nearly black. Thorax broadest behind, gradually narrowed in 

 front, slightly broader than long, densely and finely punctured, 

 the sides finely margined ; there is a slight indication of an impres- 

 sion on each side at the base. Elytra about twice as long as the 

 thorax, at the base a little wider than the base of the thorax, more 

 ample posteriorly, abruptly and obliquely narrowed at the apex, 

 strongly striated, the striae strongly punctured, the intervals con- 

 vex, dull. Length 2 millims. 



Rah. St. Helena. 



Most nearly approaches E. cupreus, but its shorter and broader 

 form and opaque surface separate it from that and other allied 

 species. 



Anthicijs Wollastoni, sp. nov. 



Eeddish yellow, very glossy, not much convex, the legs rather 

 paler. Head across the eyes a little wider than the thorax, not 

 quite as long as broad, obliquely (but not much) narrowed behind 

 the eyes ; not visibly punctured ; the eyes moderately prominent. 

 Antennae a little longer than the head and thorax taken together ; 

 the four apical joints distinctly larger than the preceding joints. 

 Thorax a trifle longer than broad, very convex, not visibly punc- 

 tured, moderately narrowed posteriorly, the greatest width rather 

 in front of the middle ; the sides rounded in front ; thickly beset 

 with long yellow pubescence, with an impressed line on each side 

 near to the margin and parallel to it, not quite extending to the 

 front margin. Elytra at the base of the same width as the base 

 of the thorax, one third longer than the head and thorax taken 

 together, twice as broad in the middle as at the base, obliquely 

 narrowed to the apex, extremely delicately and rather sparingly 

 punctured. Length 1^ millim. 



Rah. St. Helena. 



The very small size, the pubescent thorax, and the angular sides 

 to the elytra separate this species from the others of the genus.
