Broun. — New Genera and Species of Coleoptera. 405 



3198. Euplectopsis longicollis Reitter. Euplectopsis Raffray. Trichonyx, 



Verb. d. naturf. ver. Brunn.. vol. 18, p. 4. 



Narrow, rufescent, densely clothed with short greyish hairs. 



Head somewhat narrower than thorax, much narrowed in front, genae 

 parallel, punctate, with 2 convergent furrows. Thorax somewhat longer 

 than broad, widest before the middle; finely and closely punctate, with 

 3 foveae near the base, the lateral largest, these connected by a trans- 

 verse furrow; dorsal groove abbreviated. Elytra distinctly broader than 

 thorax, and almost 1J times its length, closely but hardly visibly punc- 

 tured, sutural striae entire, the intrahumeral duplicated. Tarsi with 

 2 unequal claws. 



Antennae with joints 4-8 globose, not oblong, the terminal three 

 abruptly increase, the two penultimate slightly transverse. 



Length, 1*8-2 mm. 



Greymouth. Mr. R. Helms. 



3199. Euplectopsis microcephalus Reitter. Trichonyx. Verh. d. naturf. 



ver. Brunn., vol. 18, p. 5. 



Narrow, rufescent, very sparingly pubescent, nitid. 



Head small, much narrower than thorax, slightly punctured, with 2 

 short frontal grooves terminating behind in large deep foveae and con- 

 vergent in front. Thorax as long as broad, strongly widened and 

 rounded before the middle, finely punctate, trifoveate near the base. 

 Elytra wider than thorax, 1| times longer; between the sutural and basal 

 grooves there is a short basal linear impression. 



Antennae with joints 4-8 subglobose, the oth and 7th slightly oblong, 

 the last three abruptly larger, 9th and 10th of equal breadth, transverse. 



Like Trichonyx longicollis, with a smaller head, deeper frontal fossae, 

 less evidently clothed, more glossy, and of a brighter red. 



Length, 2 mm. 



Greymouth. Mr. R. Helms. 



3200. Euplectopsis brevicollis Reitter. Trichonyx. Verh. d. naturf. ver. 



Brunn., vol. 18, p. 6. 



Narrow, rufescent, with silky pubescence. 



Head somewhat narrower than thorax, with 2 short subparallel grooves 

 nearly united in front and ending behind in foveae. Thorax somewhat 

 broader than long, narrowed behind, finely punctate, the three basal 

 foveae situated in the transversal furrow, the median longitudinal groove 

 abbreviated in front, in the middle almost foveiform. Elytra similar 

 to those of Trichonyx microcephalus. 



Antennae with joints 4, 6, and 8 slightly transverse, 5th and 7th 

 quadrate-globose, the two penultimate nearly equal, moderately trans- 

 verse, 11th large. 



Length, 1*3 mm. 



Greymouth. Mr. R. Helms. 



3201. Euplectopsis rotundicollis Reitter. Trichonyx. Verh. d. naturf. ver. 



Brunn.. vol. 18, p. 6. 



Narrow, rufescent, with silky pubescence. 



Head almost rotundate, very little narrower than thorax, punctulated, 

 bi-impressed in front.- Thorax nearly round, with 3 basal foveae situated 

 in the transversal furrow, the intermediate fovea small, discoidal stria
