554 COLEOPTERA 



Etnalis spinicollis, from which, however, it is very distinct by reason of 

 its emarginate eyes and more rostrate head. 



Obs. 3. — I have named this interesting species in honour of Captain 

 F. W. Hutton, of Dunedin, to whom science is largely indebted for its 

 recent progress in New Zealand. 



Auckland and Tairua; sent by Mr. Lawson as well as by Captain 

 Broun ; but apparently rare. 



Etnalis. 



Sharp ; Ent. Mon. Mag. ^ July, 1873. 



Prothorax carina transversa elytrorum basi contiguii, angulis posticis 

 extrorsum prominulis. Rostnon brevissimum. Oculi emarginati. 



' Antenncc longer than head and thorax, the three last joints forming a 

 well-marked club, similar in the two sexes, except that the eleventh joint 

 is longer in the male than in the female. Rostrum short and broad, 

 shorter than the distance from the front of the thorax to the eyes, the 

 antennal scrobes quite lateral and foveiform ; eyes emarginate, the hind 

 lobe larger than the anterior. Basal line of thorax contiguous with the 

 elytra, at the sides not directed upwards but detached as it were, 

 and directed outwards as a stout spine. Anterior coxce contiguous, 

 middle and posterior moderately distant. Legs slender, basal joint of 

 tarsi elongate, claws distinctly toothed. 



The transverse line of the thorax, which here, instead of being 

 directed upwards at the sides, projects outwardly as a strong spine, 

 distinguishes this genus apparently from all known Anthribidce. Its 

 near allies appear, however, to be certainly the Eugonides of Lacor- 

 daire.

Antenna, reddish, the intermediate joints darker in colour than the 

 basal and apical ones ; first joint short and stout ; second oval, short ; 

 third elongate and slender, longer than any of the following joints ; 

 fourth to eighth joints each shorter than its predecessor, the eighth 

 notably shorter than any of the others ; ninth triangular, about as long 

 as the seventh ; tenth quite as broad as the ninth, transverse ; eleventh 

 (in the male) as long as the ninth and tenth together, in the female 

 shorter. Head rather narrower than the thorax, rather coarsely punc- 

 tured, but the sculpture is concealed by the fine pale-grey scales with 

 which it is clothed. Thorax (without the spines) but little broader than 

 long, rather narrower than the elytra, the lateral spines applied to the 

 shoulders, and scarcely extending beyond them ; it is clothed with fine 

 hair-like scales of a pale grey and brownish or blackish colour, and
