7S0 COLEOPTERA 



Head moderately broad, finely granulated. Prothorax broad as 

 base of elytra, with obtuse angles, rather remotely and mmutely 

 granulated, not much more distmctly on the sides. Scutelhim 

 minutely granulated. Elytra closely punctulated, but along the 

 middle of each elytron the punc.tation is shallow and obsolete. 

 AntcnncB rufo-testaceous, fourth joint a good deal larger than fifth; 

 the third slender, scarcely half the length of the fourth. Sub-ocular 

 line distinct, and interposed between it and the hind part of the eye 

 a minute abbreviated carina. 



Differentiated from C. zcalandicus by its shining head, &c., and 

 from Nos. 587, 588, 589, and C. lateralis by its unimpressed elytra, 

 &c. 



Length, if lines ; breadth, |-. 



Habitat, Lindis Pass, Otago. Described from a single individual 

 sent by Professor Hutton. 



1388. C. lateralis, i^-s. Oblong, moderately shining, pubes- 

 cence greyish ; rich dark reddish-brown, elytra variegated with 

 brownish red and testaceous spots, the latter apical ; antennae rufo- 

 testaceous, legs brown, knees and tarsi testaceous. 



Head moderarely broad, closely granulated, not opaque, its 

 clothing pallid. Prothorax about as broad as base of elytra, base 

 slightly sinuated, posterior angles almost rounded, neither closely 

 nor coarsely granulated on the disc, but more distinctly on the sides. 

 Scutellum finely granulated. Elytra slightly bi-impressed before 

 the middle, densely and somewhat rugosely punctured. Antennce 

 stout, reaching the intermediate femora, basal joint red, second much 

 stouter but hardly longer than third, the third more than half the 

 length of the fourth. Suh-ocular carina visible, the space between 

 it and the eye sculptured. 



Should be placed near C s?</«s?;s and C. laticeps ; smaller than 

 the latter, distinct enough from the former by its granulated but 

 glossy thorax. When quite perfect the pubescence most probably is 

 rather dense. 



Length, if lines ; breadth, f line. 



My specimen is from Upper Taieri, Otago, where it was found by 

 Professor Hutton. 



1389. C. molestus, n.s. Variegate, testaceous, the base and 

 other parts of the elytra fuscous, head slightly rufescent ; clothed 

 with pale brassy hairs. 



Head, moderate, finely granulated. Prothorax nearly as broad as 

 base of elytra, minutely and rather distantly granulated. Elytra 

 widest behind, moderately closely and rugosely punctulated, very 

 shghtly depressed just behind the scutellum. 



x\ rather short ovate species, with a moderately developed sub- 

 ocular carina ; allied to C. osculans, but readily enough identified by 

 the minute and distant granules on the thorax. 



Length, i^ lines; breadth, f. 



Professor Sutton communicated my unique example. Habitat, 

 Queenstown, Otago.
