NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
Head about as long as wide; eyes not very large, prominent; 
antennae short, not reaching anterior coxae. Prothorax quadrate, 
very little wider in front than behind, not the width of head, 
truncate at base and apex, base narrowly margined, an oblique 
impression commencing at each side of the base — where it is 
distinct — afterwards becoming shallower and obliterated. Elytra 
about two and a quarter times as long as head and prothorax 
combined, at the base about one and a half times the width of 
prothorax at base, shoulders rounded, sides widening to beyond 
the middle. Legs rather short, not very thick, tarsi slender. 
Length 3, width 1 J mm. 
Zfafc— Galston (Mr. D. Dumbrell). 
Differs from the preceding in being smaller, in having prominent 
eyes, thinner antennae, narrower prothorax, with basal impressions 
more distinct, sparser pubescence, different markings of elytra, 
paler undersurface and legs, &c. I have but one specimen of 
each. 
Trichosalpingus lateralis, n.sp. 
Depressed, shining. Testaceous-brown; elytra — except at sides 
— a little paler than head and prothorax, undersurface darker 
than above; sterna and femora stained with piceous. Above 
clothed with very short pale pubescence; sides of sterna with 
minute pubescence. Head and prothorax very densely and 
minutely punctate, on the elytra at the base the punctures are 
not as dense, but are larger, becoming smaller and obliterated 
towards apex; undersurface minutely but distinctly punctate, 
punctures largest on pro-, meso- and sides of metasternum. 
Head transverse; eyes rather large, not very prominent; 
antennae short, reaching anterior coxae Prothorax transverse, 
slightly wider than head, a little wider in front than behind, 
angles feebly rounded; base narrowly margined, an impression at 
the base close to the sides. Elytra about two and a half times as 
long as head and prothorax combined, at the base not much wider 
than prothorax at apex, shoulders rounded, sides feebly widening 
to beyond the middle; a very feeble depression about scutellum
