KKW GENKKA AND SPECIES OF COLEOPTERA. 



By Major T. Broun, F.E.S. 



PART IL* 



In this jDart there are descriptions of ten new genera and eighty-two 

 species of New Zealand beetles. Rather more than half of the species 

 were discovered amidst the mountainous regions of the South Island 

 by Messrs. G. V. Hudson, A. Philpott, and J. H. Lewis; eight were 

 found by Mr. Hudson, and one by Mr. A. O'Connor, near Wellington ; 

 nine were detected in a bagful of leaf-mould sent to me from the 

 Great Barrier Island by Mr. F. Flynn ; five were obtained on Mount 

 Te Aroha by myself; and the remainder hj Mr. W. J. Guinness and 

 myself at different localities in the neighbourhood of Waimarino. 



In order to avoid confusion, and to prevent the descriptions of 

 many genera and species being overlooked, it is necessary to state that 

 those numbered from .3157 to 32."')8 appeared in tlie " Transactions of 

 the New Zealand Institute," vol. 44, and 32.59 to 3360 in vol. 45. The 

 names of the Byrrhidae, Nos. 3157-63 were included in the list of species 

 published on page 380, vol. 44, " Transactions of the New Zealand 

 Institute." but their descriptions apj^earod in Bulletin No. 2 of the 

 New Zealand Institute, issued on the •30th August, 1910. 



Section I of the following list consists of fifteen species of Faronmi 

 which were published in the " Annals and Magazine of Natuial History " 

 in October, 1911 (sei-. 8, vol. 8, p. 488), and twelve species of Euplectini 

 in ser. 8, vol. 8, p. 685 (Decemlier, 1911). 



Section II contains the names of those wliich foini the su])ject-matter 

 of the present paper.
