OF NEW ZEALAND. 785 



The antennee of C. midulatus (p. 347), as well as those of all the 

 other species, exactly resemble those of the present one; an error had 

 been made in computing the small joints, which cannot be easily 

 seen without the aid of a microscope. No. 636 is not actually nude, 

 there being a few excessively fine pallid hairs on the body ; the word 

 " nearly" should therefore be placed before "nude" in the first line 

 of its description (p. 349). 



1399- G. picicollis, "-s. Cylindric, slightly nitid, clothed with 

 short brassy setas ; thorax rufo-piceous, elytra reddish-brown, legs 

 and antennce pale-brown, club darker. 



Head simple. PwtJiorax rather dull, about as long as broad, the 

 lateral margins nearly straight before the middle, but rounded towards 

 the base, so that there are no distinct posterior angles ; moderately 

 finely and closely punctured, interstices minutely sculptured, its 

 clothing finer than that of the hind-body. Elytra finely and rather 

 closely punctated, almost in rows, obsoletely and irregularly lineated, 

 their setae somewhat congregated behind. Legs sparsely pubescent. 

 AntcnncB with a rather short fourth joint and broad club. 



Length, -J line. 



One example. Probably from the vicinity of Whangarei Har- 

 bour. 



_ 1400. C. viridiflavus, n.s. Convex, rather short and broad, 

 shining, apparently quite destitute of pubescence ; legs reddish, body 

 greenish-yellow. 



Head minutely and distantly punctured, the antero-lateral mar- 

 gins moderately elevated and widely separated. Frotlwrax finely 

 marginated, a little rounded laterally, base truncate, minutely and 

 remotely punctated. Elytra short, rather abruptly narrowed and 

 deflexed posteriorly, their sculpture very similar to that of the 

 thorax. Legs stout, pubescent. 



Allied to Nos. 638 and 639 only, and, like them, without a dis- 

 tinct sc'utellum. It seems questionable whether the absence of that 

 important organ would justify the separation of these three species. 



Length, f line ; breadth, quite f . 



One, in bad condition, from Mr. P. Stewart-Sandager. 



Group— DI APE RID^. 

 Menimus (p- 360). 



1401. M. CUrtulus, n.s. Short, broad, convex, nitid; thorax 

 rich dark-brown, elytra rufo-fuscous with testaceous apices ; head, 

 legs, and thoracic margins rufescent ; nearly destitute of pubes- 

 cence. 



Head finely but distinctly punctured, most obviously near the 

 antennae ; the whole surface minutely sculptured ; eyes small, yet quite 

 easily seen. AnteiuicB short, with griseous hairs. Frotlwrax large yet 

 transverse, slightly rounded laterally, more narrowed in front than 

 behind, apparently smooth, nevertheless minutely sculptured, and 

 having a very few fine punctures distributed over its surface. Scu-
