Group-MYCETOPHAGID.^. 



Triphyllus. 



1961. T. integritus, "-s- Convex, oblong-oval, shining, red, 

 legs and antenna testaceous. 



Head rather narrow, distinctly but not very closely punctured. 

 Thorax transverse, narrowed anteriorly, its sides finely margined 

 and curvate, sculptured like the head. Scutellum very short and 

 broad. • Elytra' finely punctured behind, and with moderately well 

 defined series of punctures in front. 



The lateral thoracic margins do not seem to be at all crenate ; 

 the basal foveye are deep and obvious, though not very large. The 

 rows of punctures on the basal portion of the wing-cases are not so 

 well marked as in T. zealandicus. The scutellum is uncommonly 

 broad.

A specimen was sent to me from Outram, Otago, by Mr. S. W. 

 Fulton. 



Obs. — Dr. Sharp's Triphylli — T. huttoni, T. zealandicus, T. 

 maculosus, T. confertus, and T. concolor — were described ten years 

 ago under the numbers 401, 102, 405, 406, and 407. Dr. Sharp 

 himself sent me a specimen of T. concolor, with the label " Crypto- 

 phagus, n.sp." 



Group— DERMESTIDiE.

1962. T. 4-faSCiata, ''•«• .B/acA-, shming ; base of thorax and 

 a median transverse space on elytra rufescent ; the tibiae and six 

 basal joints of antennge reddish, remaining joints nigro-fuscous, 

 tarsi yellowish ; pubescence greyish, the coarser and whiter hairs 

 forming four fasciai on the elytra, one basal, one apical, and two 

 intermediate. 



Head closely and distinctly punctate, with the usual smooth space 

 near the middle. Aniennce short, the two basal joints thick, the 

 next four moderate, joints 8-10 strongly transverse, articulated at 

 the middle, eleventh rounded. Thorax finely but not closely punc-
