534 COLEOPTERA 



947- A. varia, n:s. Body rather broad, sub-ovate, somewhat 

 piceous in colour, with the shoulders and apices of the elytra reddish, 

 the legs and antennae are reddish, the latter having an infuscate club. 



Rostrum elongate, cylindric, arcuated, so sculptured as to appear 

 smooth along the middle, with a shallow groove near each side, a 

 depression at the base, and some short hairs above. Thorax not much 

 longer than broad, widest behind the middle, rounded laterally, with an 

 obvious frontal constriction forming a transverse depression near the 

 apex ; it is very slightly convex, with a smooth dorsal line, the puncta- 

 tion on its middle portion is moderate, but towards the sides and apex 

 becomes much closer and finer ; it is very sparingly clothed with yel- 

 lowish hairs, which are somewhat congregated along the base and near 

 the sides, leaving the disc nude. The elytra are a little wider than the 

 thorax, and are gradually narrowed posteriorly ; they bear strongly 

 punctured striae, the intervals between them are so punctulated as to 

 appear rugulose, and they are clothed with fine short yellowish hairs. 

 The legs are moderately slender. 



The male has a rather more robust rostrum than the female with the 

 antennal insertion nearer the apex than the middle ; in the female the 

 antennae are more slender, and the rostrum is elongate, finely sculptured, 

 and the point of insertion of the antennae is very near the middle. 



Length, 2\ lines. 



I found several individuals of this species in the forests near Whan- 

 garei Harbour. The colouration is somewhat variable.
