The feature of this species is its very long posterior legs, which 
are longer than the entire body. From F. australis, which it 
somewhat resembles, it differs in being longer, slenderer, lighter 
in colour and more opaque, differently shaped prothorax, longer 
legs, and in numerous other particulars. 
Anthicus rectifasciatus, n.sp. 
Depressed, shining. Head, prothorax and undersurface red, 
elytra testaceous, base somewhat darker, a broad median band — 
very feebly connected with apex along sides and suture — black; 
legs, palpi and antennae testaceous, the latter becoming darker 
towards apex; abdominal segments clouded with piceous at the 
sides. Above not very densely clothed with yellowish suberect 
pubescence, on the undersurface the pubescence is shorter and 
denser. Head densely punctate, prothorax more densely and 
minutely, elytra strongly punctate at the base, the punctures 
becoming feebler towards apex; undersurface minutely punctate. 
Head transverse, base truncate; eyes large, coarsely faceted; 
antennae slender, reaching median fascia, 1st joint slightly longer 
than 2nd-3rd combined, 2nd short, 3rd longer, 4th- 10th gradually 
decreasing in length, 11th longer than 10th and as long as 8th. 
Prothorax slightly longer, and at its widest not quite as wide as 
the base of head, subcordate, longer than wide, rounded in front, 
truncate and margined behind. Elytra nearly twice as long as 
head and prothorax combined, much wider than prothorax at 
base, and wider than head across eyes; shoulders slightly rounded, 
sides subparallel to near the apex; suture feebly depressed at base. 
Legs slender, femora slightly thickened, tibiae straight, longer 
than tarsi, minutely spurred at their apices. Length 3J, width 
1^ mm. 
Hab. — Fitzroy Island, Queensland (Macleay Museum). 
Anthicus scutellatus, n.sp. 
Of the form of A. brevicollis; subdepressed, shining — especially 
the head and undersurface. Reddish -testaceous, elytra paler than 
prothorax, which is paler than head; sides of abdominal segments
