1088 COLEOPTERA 



the head, in the lateral hollows the asperities are smaller and less 

 numerous so that smooth spaces exist there ; the sides are nearly 

 straight behind, but are a little rounded near the front, the margins 

 are closely studded with granules, thus appearing crenulate. Elytra 

 gradually narrowed posteriorly, apex rounded, their sides finely 

 crenulate, or serrate, like the thorax, and, near the shoulders, 

 somewhat flattened or hollowed, they are not wider than the 

 thorax, but are much longer; their dorsal sculpture consists of 

 double rows of deep, coarse, rather closely-placed punctures, and 

 on each elytron three costas ; the costa nearest the suture extends 

 from base to apex, the second terminates before reaching the hind 

 slope, and is not distinct at the base, the third is obsolete near the 

 base, and seems to end near the middle, but there is in line with 

 it a ridge which extends backwards and unites at the extremity 

 with the sutural one, the suture also is somewhat costiform near 

 the summit of the posterior slope ; the lateral sculpture is finer. 



The insect was originally covered with greyish sappy matter, 

 but when denuded presents the appearance described above. 



Length, 1% lines ; breadth, i line. 



Moeraki. Mr. Sandager sent me his unique specimen. 



Enarsus. 



1938. E. probus, "-S- Oblong, squamosity dense, principally 

 dark-brown, with yellow setse on the elevated parts ; antennaa red, 

 paler towards extremity ; tibia? obscure fusco-rufous. 



Head depressed between antennas ; covered with small round 

 elevations, flat above, with a puncture in each, from these the setae 

 proceed, causing the asperate surface ; this is the ordinary sculpture 

 of the whole body. Eyes only moderately convex. Antcnnce, bearing 

 fine slender pallid hairs, club with much shorter ones ; second 

 joint longer than exposed portion of first, both stout, cylindric ; 

 third elongate ; 4-8 decrease in length, each, however, even the 

 eighth, longer than broad ; club large, its joints increasing in 

 bulk, not closely articulated. Thorax strongly transverse, rounded 

 laterally ; each side with two large depressions having a transverse 

 raised space interposed ; disc elevated, with two longitudinal eleva- 

 tions in front, and two, more rotundate ones, behind the middle ; 

 median groove ending behind in an expansion, on each side of this 

 there is a transverse curved groove ; sides thick, front angles pro- 

 jecting beyond the eyes, the posterior rounded, fitting into a wide 

 but not deep sinuosity inside each shoulder. Elytra convex, sides 

 with transversal cavities ; on each side of scutellum there is an 

 elongate elevation, and in line with it, on top of apical declivity, a 

 large nodosity, between these more or less irregularly raised ; outside 

 that line are placed two rows of four or five smaller nodosities, the 

 last of each row situated near top of hind slope ; there are numerous 

 large punctures in series, not very regular, however ; apical portion 

 not vertical, quite rounded, with, on the broad margin, but not near 

 the suture, two nodosities, separating three cavities. Legs variegate.
