OF NEW ZEALAND, 779 



Head finely and indistinctly granulated, densely pubescent, not 

 broad. ProtJiorax slightly rounded laterally, with blunt angles, 

 remotely and very minutely granulated, the granules a little more 

 obvious on the sides. Scutellum granulate. Elytra slightly broader 

 at the base than the thorax, not depressed, oblong, their punctation 

 moderate, neither very close nor deep. The third joint of the an- 

 tenncB half as long as the fourth. The insect is covered with greyish 

 pubescence, is a little glossy, ovate-oblong ; the space between the 

 genal line and the eye is slightly concave and shining, but there is 

 no distinct intermediate line. 



Eather broader than C. pickdus, with the head remotely granu- 

 lated, &c. 



Length, if lines ; breadth, nearly f line. 



Habitat, Upper Taieri. I received two examples from Professor 

 Hutton. 



^3^5- C. CrasSUS, '^-s. Convex, rather broad, pubescent, a 

 little glossy, black ; legs fulvous, basal joint of antennae red, one or 

 more apical joints infuscate, the intermediate testaceous. 



Head broad, finely granulated. Prothorax rather large, not short, 

 as broad as the base of the elytra, sides slightly curved, angles not 

 acute, distantly and inconspicuously granulated, more distinctly on 

 the sides. Scutellum not granulate. Elytra slightly depressed in 

 rear of the scutellum, and a little but broadly compressed at the 

 sides before the middle, moderately punctulated, their pubescence 

 grey and greyish-yellov/. Antenna stout ; third joint small, less than 

 half the length of the fourth. 



Like C. suffusus in form, bu.t with a granulated thorax, and quite 

 distinct sub-ocular carina. 



Length, i^ lines ; breadth, quite f . 



My unique specimen was taken near Whangarei Harbour. 



1386. C. SUturalis, ii-s. Black ; moderately glossy, femora and 

 tibise fuscous, the knees and tarsi testaceous. 



Head large, opaque, closely and rugosely granulated. Prothorax 

 finely and distinctly punctulated, as broad as the elytra at the base. 

 Elytra oblong, not depressed, closely punctulated ; most of their 

 surface covered with ash-coloured hairs, those along the suture and 

 lateral parts coarser and whiter. Antenna stout, second and third 

 articulations rufescent, fourth and fifth infuscate, the others blackish ; 

 third joint small, not half the length of the fourth, the latter much 

 larger than those which follow. Terminal joint of the maxillary 

 palpi pointed. 



An easily-recognized species ; its nearest congener is C. suffusus, 

 but the sub-ocular carina is distinct. 



Length, if lines; breadth, f. 



The only individual I possess was found on the Waitakerei Hills. 



1387- C. nitidus, u-s. Glossy, head reddish, thorax testaceous- 

 red, elytra testaceous with their base and suture infuscate ; apparently 

 quite nude ; oblong.
