sides gently rounded; they are not perceptibly punctate; the sutural 

 striae are rather fine, but are foveiform and deep at the base; the intra- 

 humeral impression on each is also foveiform, so that the shoulder and 

 the interval between the impression and the sutural fovea appear elevated. 

 Hind-body shorter than the elytra, narrowed and deflexed posteriorly; 

 the 1st dorsal segment horizontal, with a curvate basal depression; it is 

 slightly longer than either the 2nd or 3rd. 



Antennae elongate, basal joint thicker but only a little longer than 

 the 2nd, joints .3-5 quite oblong, 6-8 hardly as long as broad, 9th quite 

 double the size of the 8th; 10th evidently broader than 9th, laxly articu- 

 lated at the base, but closely applied to the 11th, which is large, conical, 

 and acuminate; these 3 terminal articulations bear numerous slender 

 but elongate hairs, and form a well-marked club. 



The thoracic sculpture and abbreviated humeral impressions are very 

 different from those of E. elegans (2460). On the other hand, it does 

 not agree very well with the type of the nearly allied genus Mivrotyrus 

 (2461). The position assigned to it and the following species is there- 

 fore between these genera. There is no other systematic place for them.

Retaruke, near Erua. Described from a single specimen picked out 

 of decayed leaves collected for me in March, 1910, by Captain H. S. 

 Whitehorn, of the Geological Survey Department. 



3197. Euglyptus longicornis sp. nov. 



Nitid, rufous; elytra, legs, and antennae fulvescent; tarsi and palpi 

 testaceous. 



Head rather smaller than thorax, though nearly as broad, coarsely 

 punctate, with a smooth median linear impression behind, and a distinct 

 interantennal channel. Thorax suboviform, widest near the middle, 

 indefinitely punctured; the broad mesial groove extends into the angular 

 fossa near the base; the latter is united to the lateral foveae by a trans- 

 verse stria. Elytra quadrifoveate, conjointly, at the base, with well- 

 marked sutural striae but abbreviated humeral impressions. Basal dorsal 

 segment with a transverse basal impression ; this I consider a generic 

 and not a sexual character. 



Antennae stout and elongate, basal joint evidently longer and thicker 

 than the oblong 2nd, 3-5 also oblong, the 4th very slightly shorter than 

 either of the adjoining ones, 6-8 moniliform, 9th distinctly longer than 

 bioad; 10th subquadrate, a little stouter than its predecessor, but not 

 at all closely adapted to the base of the 11th, which is large, conical, 

 and acuminate. 



Manifestly different from E . foveicollis ; rather more robust, the eyes 

 less convex, the thoracic median groove not foveiform or shortened, the 

 legs longer, the anterior pair especially, whilst the more elongate an- 

 tennae, witli their laxly articulated 10th and 11th joints, form an addi- 

 tional and easily seen distinctive character.

Raurimu. I obtained my specimen amongst damp decayed leaves at 

 the bottom of a steep ravine. Owing to the dense vegetation and slippery 

 banks, the descent marked skin and clothing, but did not occupy much 

 time; getting up again loaded with all my collecting gear and mud 

 was a very different affair. 1 remember the date — 28th January, 1910.
