Group-ERIRHINID.^. 



Cyttalia. 



1620. C. dispar, ii-s. Body slightly shining, covered with 

 greyish scale-like hairs, head and thorax piceous, elytra and legs 

 obscure infuscate-red, tarsi and antennas paler, club rufo-fuscous. 



Rostrum rather longer than thorax, slightly arched, reddish, but 

 pitchy at apex, with three more or less obvious costae, the intervals 

 punctate. Antennce, slender and elongate ; scape flexuous, slender, 

 thickened at the end, attaining the back part of the eye, with fine, 

 greyish hairs ; funiculus bearing coarse, black hairs, equalling the 

 scape in length, basal joint nearly as long as the following two, 2-7 

 decrease in length ; club elongate, articulate, pubescent. Head 

 closely punctate, narrowed and rather abruptly constricted in front. 

 Eyes prominent, distinctly facetted. Protliorax longer than broad, 

 constricted in front, moderately punctured. Scutellum distinct. 

 Elytra twice the breadth aiad thrice the length of thorax, rather 

 wider behind the middle than elsewhere, narrowed and declivous 

 behind, transversely impressed behind the base, striate-punctate, 

 interstices broad and finely sculptured. Legs elongate ; front 

 thighs inflated and slightly dentate underneath, the others com- 

 pressed, angulated, and dentate ; tibiae flexuose. 



In form like the Australian G. griseipila, but with a sudden con- 

 striction just behind the eyes ; these latter, consequently, appear 

 more prominent. The antennne are much more slender and elongate, 

 the legs also are more slender, and the elytral sculpture is finer. 



Length (rost. inch), 2^ lines ; breadth, i|-. 



Found by Mr. S. W. Fulton at West Taieri bush, Otago. 



Oreocharis. 



162 1. O. bicristata, ^^-5. Elongate, sub-opaque, castaneo- 

 rufous, club infuscate, sparsely clothed with yellow hairs. 



Rostrum rather longer than thorax, slightly arched, a little 

 thickened at apex so as to appear a little contracted where the 

 antennae are implanted, more closely punctured behind than in 

 front, indistinctly tri-carinate on the middle. Antennce insevtQdi near 

 the apex ; scape slender and flexuous ; funiculus hairy ; basal joint 

 largest, second and third longer than broad, joints 4-6 almost monili- 

 form. Protliorax narrowed and constricted in front, moderately 

 coarsely punctured, the intervals narrow. Scutellum rather elongate, 

 covered with yellow pubescence. Elytra nearly twice as broad at 

 base as the thorax and about four times longer than it, gradually 

 narrowed posteriorly, striate-punctate, interstices broad and rugulose, 

 the second with a small blackish crest near the top of the hind slope. 

 Legs stout, anterior femora with a small denticle underneath, the 

 others compressed and angulated and strongly dentate ; tibi» 

 flexuose. 



Like 0. incigularis but larger, and distinguished from the other 

 species by the two elytral crests.
