264 Mr. G. C. Champion on the Heteromerous Coleoptera 
sparsely clothed with long, erect, yellowish-white hairs. Head 
convex, moderately large, somewhat orbicular, very minutely, 
sparsely punctate, rounded at the sides behind, the eyes large ; the 
apical joint of the maxillary palpi stout ; the antennae slender, 
rather elongate, about half the length of the body. Prothorax 
convex, about as long as broad, subcordate, narrower than the head, 
the sides gradually converging and feebly grooved behind, the 
surface thickly punctured, the punctures rather coarse on the disc 
and fine at the sides. Elytra convex, moderately elongate, sub- 
parallel to the middle and narrowing thence to the apex, more than 
twice the width of the prothorax, subtruncate at the base, coarsely 
and somewhat thickly punctured to some distance beyond the 
middle, and thence to the apex sparsely, minutely punctate, the 
suture slightly depressed at the base. Legs elongate, slender. 
$ . Posterior tibiss sinuous within, slender ; the fifth ventral 
segment unimpressed. 
Length 3^, breadth 1 mm. 
Hah. Tasmania — Launceston. 
One male specimen_, sent by Mr. Walker to the British 
Museum. This species is allied to the European A. 
instahilisj Schmidt^ but it has the hind tibias in the male 
slender and merely sinuous. The punctuation of the 
elytra is coarse to a little beyond the middle, and 
then becomes abruptly very fine. The head is very- 
minutely punctured, much smoother than the thorax. 
Anthicus stenomorpJius, n. sp. 
Elongate, very narrow, subopaque ; the head obscure reddish- 
brown, the prothorax rufo-testaceous ; the elytra flavo-testaceous, 
with a broad median fascia and an apical patch, connected at the 
suture, fuscous, and a triangular scutellar patch, extending out- 
wards to the humeri, obscure testaceous ; the antennae, mandibles, 
palpi, legs, and body beneath testaceous ; the upper surface densely 
and exceedingly minutely punctured, clothed with a very fine 
sericeous pubescence. Head convex, oval, rather elongate ; the 
eyes small, prominent, coarsely granulated, and distant from the 
base of the head ; antennae elongate, slender, the joints obconic, 
9 and 10 subcylindrical and longer than broad. Prothorax elongate, 
much longer than broad, narrower than the head ; the sides com- 
pressed and strongly constricted behind the middle, slightly dilated 
at the base ; the pleurae rather deeply grooved ; the anterior 
portion globose. Elytra elongate, about twice as wide as the 
prothorax, depressed, subparallel, slightly narrowed towards the
