times its length, and are very distinctly, irregularly, closely, and 

 slightly rugusely i)unctured right to the extremity; there is a well- 

 niarkeil basal depression near eacli shoulder. Pygidium entirely covered. 



Jjt'gs elongate, with short greyisli setae; posterior tibiae arched 

 externally, their tarsi nearly as long; claws appendiculate. 



Antennae, filiform, equalling the body in length, finely pubescent; 

 basal joint slightly curved, moderately thickened, as long as the suc- 

 ceeding two together, 2nd shoi-ter than '^I'd, joints 4-10 elongate, 11th 

 rather shorter. 



We have no other recorded species like it. 



Length, 3 nun. ; breadth, IJ mm. 



Hump Ridge. Unique. Taken by Mr. A. Philpott in February, 

 ]!)12, at a height of 3,500 ft. 



3670. Luperus bullatus sp. nov. 



Elongate', subdepressed, glabrous, nitid; aeneous, thorax and 

 scutellum feebly rufesccnt, antennae and legs infuscate, femora paler 

 at the base. 



Head smooth beliind, iridescent between the eyes, with moderate 

 tubercles. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, apex truncate, widest 

 just before the middle, its sides distinctly margined, more giadually 

 narrowed behind than in front, anterior angles thickened and a little 

 prominent ; base finely margined, truncate, but slightly oblique near 

 the sides, so that its angles, though slightly incrassate, are not quite 

 rectangular; disc with exceedingly minute dense sculj^ture, remotely and 

 very finely punctured on the middle, rather more distinctly towards the 

 sides and centre of the base. Scutellum triangular, smooth. Elytra 

 rather I)roader than the thorax, four times its length, with straight sides, 

 narrowed near the extremity, apices obtuse or subtruncate ; they are 

 somewhat transversely rugose, with close, irregular, moderately fine 

 punctures; inside each shoulder and along the basal jiortion of the 

 suture there is a depression, the space between these is obtusely elevated. 

 Pygidium invisible. 



Antennae filiform, reaching backwards to the middle of the elytra; 

 basal joint moderately thickened towards the extremity, 2nd rather 

 shorter than the next, these together hardly longer than the 1st or 4th; 

 joints 5-10 about equally elongate, 11th as long as 10th, apparently 

 with a narrow apical appendage or false joint. Posterior tibiae slightly 

 arched externally; front claws with elongate basal teeth. 



In general contour tliis approaches the beautiful />. jrrificeps, 2310, 

 but the colour and sculpture are altogether dissimilar and its legs are 

 much shorter. 



Lengtii, 4| n)m. ; breadth, 2 mm. 



Mount Hutt. A single specimen waf found Iving on the snow, at an 

 elevation of 4.200 ft., l)y Mr. T. Hall, on the 28th October, 1912. 



3671. Luperus discrepans sp. nov. 



Elongate, slightly convex, nitid, with a few fine grey setae on the 

 front of the head, elytral apices, and pygidium; nigi-escent, elytra of 

 a greenish hue, the head and two spots on tlie tliorax with a coppery gloss. 



Head deeply and broadly sulcate along the middle, less so at its base, 

 it is as broad as the front of the thorax, finely sculptured but ini- 

 punctate. Eyes large and prominent. Thorax neai'ly twice as broad 

 as long, its sides very distinctly margined and gently rounded, the
