Bhoun. — New Genera and Species of Coleopteva. 403 



Eves evidently prominent. Thorax of about equal length and breadth, 

 widest and strongly rounded just before the middle; obliquely narrowed 

 in front, where it is only half the width of the head, with a deep fovea 

 at each side extending from behind the middle to the basal margin, this 

 part therefore is much contracted; the dorsal fovea behind the centre, 

 though large, is not transverse, there is a basal puncture at each side 

 of it. Elytra nearly twice the length of the thorax, gradually narrowed 

 towards yet broader at the base than the thorax, slightly eurvedly 

 narrowed behind; sutural striae well marked; the intrahumeral 

 impressions consist each of a basal puncture and a more elongated fovea. 

 Hind-body a third longer than the elytra, indistinctly punctate; the 

 basal three segments broadly margined and of about equal length; the 

 terminal ones, combined, obconical and acuminate, and much paler. 



Legs elongate, simple; 2nd tarsal joint distinctly prolonged under- 

 neath. 



Antennae elongate; basal joint reddish, cylindric, almost as long as 

 the following two together; 3rd longer than broad, but distinctly narrower 

 than the adjoining ones; 4th and 5th equal, longer than broad; 6th 

 slightly shorter; 7th and 8th truncate at the base, a little narrowed 

 apically; 9th and 10th transversely quadrate; 11th conical and acumi- 

 nate. 



When placed alongside «S'. eminens (2T24) this species is seen to be 

 less robust, the head is not quite truncate at the base, its hind angles 

 are less prolonged outwardly and are slightly deflexed, the basal foveae 

 are smaller, but the eyes are more prominent; the thorax is narrower 

 and the elytra longer, and, moreover, the dilated hind angles of the 

 head are not concave underneath. 



Female. — Genae nearly straight behind the eyes, with obtuse, but not 

 at all dilated, posterior angles; lighter in colour, and with more pro- 

 minent eyes than the same sex of 2724; the sides of the thorax are less 

 dilated before the middle, and the legs are more slender. On the under- 

 side of the head there is a well-marked transverse depression.

Mount Ngauruhoe. A single male and two females found amongst 

 decayed leaves which were gathered for me by Mr. W. J. Guinness. 



Obs. — 2724 was discovered at Tarukenga, near Rotorua, and I found 

 one male at Waimarino in January, 1909.

 Coleopt., p. 1411. 



Slender, slightly convex, shining; rufous; elytra, legs, and antennae 

 fulvescent ; palpi, tarsi, and terminal joint of antennae flavescent ; pubes- 

 cence greyish, suberect, rather scanty. 



Head obliquely narrowed behind, where it is slightly broader than 

 the apex of the thorax; including the large eyes, much wider; it is, 

 proportionally, moderately coarsely punetate, with an indistinct median 

 stria behind, the prominent antenna! tubercles separated by a distinct 

 but not wide channel. Thorax slightly longer than broad, widest and 

 obtusely prominent at the middle, more narrowed in front than behind; 

 a transverse impression near the base connects the elongate lateral foveae; 

 the discoidal fovea is elongate, but does not reach the basal impression; 

 its punctation is indistinct. Elytra nearly twice the length of thorax, 

 verv little broader than it is at the base, wider near the middle, their
