prothorax and elytra; head almost glabrous; undersurface with 
sparse straggling pubescence. Above sparsely and minutely 
punctate, punctures sparsest and rather strong on head; not much 
feebler at apex than at base of elytra; undersurface almost 
impunctate. 
Head scarcely transverse, base feebly emarginate; eyes large, 
occupying about half the side of head between antennae and base; 
antennse short, reaching base of prothorax, the joints as in A. 
scutellatus, a shallow depression on each side in front. Prothorax 
transverse, very slightly broader and longer than head, broadest 
near apex, narrowing — but not suddenly — to base; base margined, 
middle of apex feebly produced and margined. Scutellum small, 
transverse, apex rounded. Elytra not twice as long as head and 
prothorax combined (2J-1 J mm.), about twice as long as wide, 
shoulders feebly rounded, the base near them feebly impressed. 
Legs rather short, femora feebly thickened, tibise straight, the 
anterior slightly curved at apex, posterior spurred at apex. 
Length 4, width 1 h mm. 
9. Differs in being paler beneath, and by having concolorous 
legs.

May be distinguished from A. scutellatus by its more elongate 
form, somewhat differently shaped prothorax, long legs, shinier 
derm, sparser pubescence, &c. ' 
Anthicus triangularis, n.sp. 
Of the form of A. brevicollis; depressed, shining. Head, pro- 
thorax and undersurface red; elytra testaceous, a large subtrian- 
gular macula — which is somewhat variable in size — on each side 
at the middle, and the apex piceous-brown, an obscure red triangle 
about the scutellum; abdominal segments stained with brown; 
legs and antennee testaceous, the latter becoming brown towards 
apex. Head and prothorax almost glabrous, elytra sparsely 
pubescent, undersurface with shorter and denser pubescence. 
Above not strongly punctured, the punctures sparsest and 
broadest on head, denser and not much feebler on prothorax,
