268 [April, 1877. 



a long and slender triarticulate club ; maxillary palpi witli the 

 terminal joint very large, securiform. Head mucli smaller than the 

 thorax, eyes moderately prominent ; thorax strongly transverse, with 

 its sides a little explanate ; prosternal process so narrow that the 

 cox» are almost contiguous. Tibiae entirely unarmed ; tarsi with the 

 terminal joint large in proportion to the others, the claws thickened 

 at the base, but not dentate. The position of the species in Eeitter's 

 arrangement would be I judge between Felonyxa and Neaspis. 



UlOXOTUS DISCEDENS, 11. sp. 



Fusco-niger, antennis tarsisque nifescenfibus, illarum clava fusca ; 



prothorace elytris anqustiore, angulis anterioribits acutis, lateribus 



sinuatis, pone medmm contractis, superjicie leviter incequali, opaca, 



leviter granulata^ setis (vel squamulis) minutis parcius vestita ; elytris 



sat nitidis, crenato-striatis, maculis vagis sefarum cineracearum vestitis ; 



pedibus gracilibus, fere nudis. Long. 5—6 mm. 



About the size of Hol'itoipliagus antarcticus. White, and rather closely allied to 

 that species in structure, but departing greatly from it in its appearance, owing to 

 the sub-nude surface which is destitute of tubercular elevations. The antennae are 

 rather slender, and terminate in a rather elongate three-jointed club. The thorax 

 has the front margin a good deal emarginate on each side, behind the eyes, and the 

 front angles slender and acute ; it increases in width from the front angle to behind 

 the middle, the sides being slightly bisinuate in front of the broadest part, from 

 there it is much narrower to the base, the hind angles being extremely indistinct and 

 ill defined. The elytra show ten rows of punctures, the external indistinct, each 

 puncture is connected with the following one by a fine short raised line ; they are 

 clothed with a scanty and very short ashy pubescence, ari-anged so as to give a 

 spotted appearance. The under surface is nearly bare of pubescence. 



Found on the West Coast by Mr. Wakefield. 



Ulonotus integer, n. sp. 



Oblongus, piceus, supra fusco griseoque vnriegatus ; prothorace 

 incequali sed hand noduJoso, eJytrorum latifudine, lateribus rotundatis, 

 in medio tantum obsoletissime excisis ; elytris densius vestitis, liaud vel 

 vix nodiilosis ; antennis tibiisque rufis, illis clava nigricante, his 

 squamulis griseis etfuscis vestitis. Long. corp. vix 4 mm. 



This species is intermediate between Tarphiomii^ietes viridipcta and 

 T. Lawsoni, WoU. ; it differs from the former by its less nodulose 

 elytra, and the ahnost interrupted curve of the side of the thorax, and 

 from the latter by its thorax being less uax-rowed in front, its more 

 uneven upper surface, the broader club of its antenna^, and its clothed 

 and variegated tibiae. 



The only individual I have seen was given me by Mr. Wakefield, 

 and was found I believe at Christchurch. *
