272 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
obscure: eyes black; tip of mandibles piceous. Above not very 
densely clothed with yellowish decumbent pubescence, with a few 
erect short hairs— a few of which project laterally on prothorax 
— densest on prothorax, sparsest on head; on the undersurface 
the pubescence is sparser, and — except on abdominal segments — 
longer than above. Head distinctly but not very densely punc- 
tate; prothorax densely, elytra shallowly and not very densely 
punctate; sterna scarcely distinctly, the abdominal segments very 
feebly punctate. 
Head short, transverse, base feebly emarginate; eyes large, 
occupying more than half the side of head between antennae and 
base; mandibles prominent; antennae short, scarcely reaching base 
of prothorax, 1st joint as long as 2nd-3rd combined, 2nd short, 
3rd-4th narrowest, 4th-10th gradually decreasing in length, 11th 
about once and a quarter as long as 10th, acuminate at apex, 
2nd and 6th-10th globular. Prothorax subcordate, transverse, 
broader and longer than head, sides rounded; base constricted 
and narrowly margined, middle of the apex narrowly produced 
and margined. Scutellum small, triangular, distinct. Elytra 
almost twice as long as head and prothorax combined, and about 
twice as long as the width at base, shoulders feebly rounded, the 
base near them very feebly impressed. Legs short; femora 
thickened; tibiae straight, a minute spur at their apices. Length 
3 J, width 1 J mm. 
Hob. — North-west Australia (Macleay Museum). 
My specimen is damaged, all the tarsi with the exception of 
one of the anterior and an antenna being missing. It may be 
distinguished from A. luridus by its longer pubescence, &c. 
Anthicus inglorius, n.sp. 
(J. Shaped somewhat as A. brevicollis; subdepressed, shining. 
Prothorax reddish-testaceous, head darker, elytra paler: under- 
surface brownish-testaceous, antennae, palpi, anterior legs, four 
posterior tibiae and tarsi, and base of femora paler; eyes black; 
tip of mandibles piceous. Above sparsely clothed with short 
pale pubescence, with rather long hairs projecting laterally from
