OF NEW ZEALAND. 823 



Head rugulose anteriorly, finely and irregularly lineated behind ; 

 eyes prominent. Protliorax moderately convex, quadrate, base and 

 apex arcuated, its sides moderately well rounded, sinuated towards 

 the rectangular, but shghtly protuberant, posterior angles ; its basal 

 fossae large, the dorsal furrow extends from base to apex, it has an 

 indistinct rounded depression near each anterior angle, and its 

 whole surface is more or less finely and irregularly striated. 

 Scntellinn feebly furrowed. Elytra rather long, scarcely broader 

 than thorax, their sides but little curved, with dentate shoulders 

 and distinct apical sinuosities; their sculpture is irregular, con- 

 sisting of punctulated striee, slightly convex interstices covered 

 with transversal aciculate impressions, the third, fifth, and seventh 

 with tln-ee or more large punctures, the second, fourth, and sixth 

 narrower than the others. The thorax somewhat resembles that 

 of T. monticola in shape, but the hind-body is narrower, and the 

 elytral sculpture is altogether different from that of any other 

 known species of the genus. 



S • Length, loi- lines; breadth, 3^. 



I am indebted to Mr. S. W. Fulton, of Outram, for the only 

 example I have seen. It was found on Mount Maungatua. 



1462. T. chloris, ''••!>•• Elongate-oblong, moderately convex, 

 glossy, except the blackish head and red limbs; almost wholly green, 

 parts of the mouth and trochanters rufescent. Underside shining 

 black. 



Head smooth, bi-impressed in front ; eyes prominent. Prothorax 

 quadrate, not much broader than long, but little rounded laterally, 

 and only slightly and hardly sinuously narrowed towards the rect- 

 angular posterior angles ; its surface smooth, with large basal 

 fossae, an entire dorsal groove, and a few obsolete longitudinal striae 

 near the base and apex, both of which are incurved. Scutellum 

 blackish, nearly smooth. Elytra convex, sub-oblong, widest 

 behind the middle, shoulders dentate, sinuated posteriorly ; each 

 with seven distinct finely punctured dorsal striae ; interstices 

 moderately convex, the third with three, the seventh with about 

 six, large punctures. 



This species, so far as regards the thoracic outline, makes a near 

 approach to T. j^laniuscidus, but the eyes are prominent and the 

 cheeks not dilated just behind them as in that species. The form 

 of the hind-body is somewhat like that of T. auchlandicus.

The only exponent of this species was taken by Mr. S. W. 

 Fulton on Mount Maungatua, Otago. 



1463. T. grassator, »•«• Shining aeneous, the more elevated 

 parts blackish tinged with red ; legs and antennae dark-red ; body 

 oblong and moderately convex 



Head rather narrow, nearly smooth, bi-foveolate in front ; 

 mandibles wrinkled ; eyes prominent. Protliorax quadrate, with 

 rounded sides, sinuated but not much narrowed behind, posterior 

 angles rectangular; basal foveas large, the interval between them
