Mount Ngauruhoe. Named in honour of Mr. W. J. (ruinness, who, 

 in March, 1910, gathered a bagful of decaying leaves, out of which 1 

 picked a specimen of this, as well as sonic other interesting species. 



•SI 85. Calodera wallacei sp. nov. Calodera Mannerheim, Lacord. Hist. 

 des Ins. Coleopt.. torn. 2. p. 36. 



Elongate, shining, rut'escent, hind-body rnfo-fuscous but with its 

 terminal segment as well as the legs fusco-testaceous, tarsi and palpi 

 yellow, antennae f ulvescent ; sparingly clothed with pale flavescent hairs, 

 these are more slender on the anterior parts of the body than on the 

 abdomen. 



Head rather larger than thorax, its sides rounded, without per- 

 ceptible punctation. Eyes large, rather flat. Thorax oviform, of about 

 equal length and breadth, widest at the middle, the base finely margined 

 and slightly rounded, with nearly rectangular angles; the surface 

 minutely, remotely, and indistinctly punctate; at the middle of the 

 base there is a large fossa, from this a shallow linear impression pro- 

 ceeds towards the apex, in some aspects it seems a well-marked groove, in 

 others obsolete. Elytra subquadrate, about a third broader than thorax, 

 distinctly yet rather distantly punctured, with fine sutural striae. Hind- 

 body half of the whole length, parallel, a little narrower than the elytra, 

 its basal four segments strongly margined, each with transverse series 

 of punctiform impressions at the base, 5th minutely and distantly punc- 

 tured and subtruncate behind. Legs slender, with fine setae, tibiae 

 straight. 



Antennae distinctly pubescent, elongate, gradually thickened from 

 the 3rd joint onwards, 2nd and 3rd almost equally elongate but shorter 

 than the 1st, 4th and 5th subquadrate. 7-10 strongly transverse, 11th 

 conical. 



C. sericophora (2688) makes the nearest approach in facies, but its 

 head is narrower and less rounded, the eyes are a trifle more prominent, 

 the thoracic groove is deep throughout, and the 3rd antenna] joint is 

 shorter. 



Length, 3-| mm. ; breadth, ft mm. 



Wairiri, Kaikoura. Two examples found by Mr. W. L. Wallace, 

 whose name is attached to it. 



3186. Calodera fultoni sp. nov. 



Nitid, castaneo-rufous, labrum, palpi, and tarsi paler; pubescence 

 elongate and slender, flavescent, more scanty on the head and thorax 

 than elsewhere. 



Head nearly as large as the thorax, rounded behind the slightly 

 convex eyes, very distinctly and moderately closely punctate; clypeus 

 membranous and pallid. Thorax oviform, as long as broad, its sides 

 rounded, a little wider before the middle than behind, the base finely 

 margined and feebly curved with obtuse angles ; its punctation is like 

 that of the head, only slightly finer, the dorsal furrow is distinct and 

 more expanded near the base than in front. Scutellum closely punctate. 

 Elytra subquadrate, broader than the thorax, each with a deep apical 

 sinuosity near the side; with fine sutural striae, their sculpture not 

 quite as close or definite as that of the thorax. Hind-body parallel, 

 narrower than the wing-cases, about as long as the rest of the body, 

 more or less distinctly but not closely punctured, its segments of about
