NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
head and presternum dull red; coxa?, base of femora — the posterior 
infuscate towards apex — and tarsi obscure testaceous; antenna? 
piceous. Elytra very sparsely pubescent, rest of the body almost 
glabrous. Above minutely, beneath indistinctly punctate. 
Head a little longer than wide, rounded; eyes, small, prominent; 
antenna? slender, inserted midway between eyes and apex of 
mandibles, reaching intermediate coxa?, 1st joint about once and 
a half longer than 2nd, 2nd a little longer than 3rd, 11th 
about the length of 9 th- 10th combined. Pro thorax scarcely the 
width of head, longer than wide, transversely globose in front, 
strongly constricted near base; a small tubercle on each side at 
base. Elytra about as long as head and prothorax combined, 
about two and a half times as long as wide, base truncate, 
shoulders feebly rounded, sides feebly widening to beyond middle; 
a very feeble impression behind the base (only visible when 
viewed sideways). Legs slender; femora thickening towards apex, 
tibia? straight. Length 1|-, width |mm. 
Hah. — Bridge Town, W.A. Between the leaves of cabbages. 
I have a specimen from Donnybrook in which the whole of the 
prothorax is dull red. The species closely resembles A. strictus 
and A. bembidioides; from the former it differs in being narrower, 
with thicker antennas, and by its more parallel elytra; from the 
latter by its differently shaped prothorax, with more prominent 
tubercles, and by its head being a little smaller. 
Anthicus geminatus, n.sp. 
Narrow, elongate, subdepressed, shining. Testaceous, prothorax 
darker than elytra; head and apical half of , elytra — except along 
suture — tinged with piceous, lower surface coloured as prothorax, 
legs paler, abdominal segments — except basal — piceous. Elytra 
moderately, head and prothorax very sparsely clothed with short 
pale pubescence, lower surface almost glabrous. Above densely 
and not very minutely punctate, each puncture carrying a small 
hair; sterna indistinctly punctate. 
Head rounded, a little longer than wide; eyes small, prominent, 
in exact middle of sides; antenna? slender, slightly thickening
