iloiil)l(> tho l(Mi<itli. Scutclluni .sn\;ill, triaii<iula.r. I'Jlijtro most convex be- 

 fore the middle, much nariowed, hut not vertical behind ; their surface 

 slightly uneven, but without definite depressions ; the sutural rejiion 

 slightly elevated behind ; their sculpture resembles that of the thorax. 



Tibiae moderately finely setose, the anterior unimpressed but obliquely 

 nari'owed externally near the apex, the other pairs are slightly arched out- 

 wardly : the tarsal appendages are moderately developed. Antennae 

 moderately elongate, 2nd joint hardly more than half the size of the 1st, 

 -fth slender and elongate yet distinctly shorter than 3rd. 5th and 6th 

 evidently longer than broad, 7th very slightly longer but nearly as broad 

 as the 8th. i)th and lOtli rather broader than long, 11th elongate, about as 

 long as the preceding 2 combined ; club apparently 5-jointed.

Ligurs Bush, Papakura. A solitary indix idual. 



Pedilophorus Steffahny. 



Body convex, oviform ; glabrous or nearly so. ScutelJuiti distinct. 

 Thorax bisinuate at base. 



Section I. 



Anterior tibiae curved, flattened or impressed along the outer portion 

 of the front face. 



3160. Pedilophorus foveigerus sp. no v. {Fi(/. 5.) 



Glossy, viridi-aeneous, the head and the sides and base of elytra rufescent, 

 legs dark rufous, tarsi and intermediate joints of antennae ferruginous, 

 the terminal joints rather darker, the basal piceo-rufous. 



Head with rather shallow but distinct punctures, and appearing slightly 

 rugose -. forehead moderately rounded, not margined. Thorax moderately 

 finely, not deeply or closely, but regularly, punctured ; its sides finely 

 margined, nearly straight, but gradually narrowed towards the acute and 

 somew^hat prominent anterior angles, the apex widely sinuate towards the 

 sides. Scutelkini triangular, rather small, not transverse. Elytra not at 

 all vertical behind, their sculpture like that of the thorax. 



Tibiae with a few slender inconspicuous setae, the anterior rather more 

 curved l)elow the middle than above it, the intermediate strongly arched 

 externally, witli small ajiical spines. I'arsi stout, the appendages of the 

 3rd joints prolonged half-way underneath the 5th. Eyes large, finely 

 faceted, more prominent in front than behind. Antennae moderately 

 elongate : 3rd joint slender and elongate ; -ith and 5th also long yet shorter 

 than 3rd ; 6th longer than broad, very slightly thicker ; 7th slightly longer 

 than broad, rather tliicker than 6th ; 8-10 enlarged, sometimes transversal, 

 11th longer; the club, therefore, appears 5-jointed; the thick 1st joint 

 is free, having a short basal stalk by which it is attached to the head near 

 the front of the eye. 



Underside shining, with some slender yellow hairs on the 5th ventral 

 segment, the rest of the pubescence is indistinct. Metasternum finely 

 punctate, the more rufescent abdomeii still more so. Terminal ventral 

 segment, at the apex, with a well-marked broad fovea, which seems to 

 terminate in a sliort fissure.
