292 COLEorTKIiA. 



Head almost as broad as thorax, genae nearly straight, hind angles as 

 wide as the eyes, obtuse, not at all prominent ; antennal tubercles nearlv 

 plane, frontal channel deep, moderately broad, slightly narrowed in front, 

 extending just beyond the back of the eyes, occipital foveae slightly elongate. 

 Thorax cordate, about as long as broad ; basal fossa subquadrate, lateral 

 foveae deep, prolonged to the middle, base distinctly bipunrtate. Elytra 

 suboblong, not double the length of thorax, somewhat narrowed before the 

 middle ; sutural striae deep, subpunctiform at the base, with a small basal 

 puncture near each, intrahumeral striae composed of a basal puncture and 

 more elongate impression reaching the middle. Hind-body as long as 

 elytra, minutely and distantly punctate, basal segment shorter than 2nd 

 or 3rd, the last obtusely triangular. 



Legs moderately elongate and slender, tibiae slightly expanded towards 

 the extremity. 



Antennae rather kmger than head and thorax, only moderately stout, 

 slightly and gradually incrassate ; 2nd joint subovate, quite half as long 

 as the basal ; 3rd small yet slightly longer than broad ; 4th and 5th oblong- 

 oval ; 6th rather shorter but not quite as short as 7th : joints 8-10 sub- 

 quadrate, nearly alike ; 11th conical, longer than 10th. 



Ventral segments 2-4 normal, 5th as long as 4th ; 6th shorter, medially 

 truncate, prolonged at the sides ; 7th as long as 6th, broad, obtusely tri- 

 angular. 



S. sobrina, 1877, near which this species should be placed, has short 

 elytra, they are much narrowed towards the base, with short intrahumeral 

 impressions ; the basal thoracic fossa is subrotundate and the adjacent 

 punctures are small ; the frontal channel is broader in the middle, but 

 becomes slender near the base, &c.

Hunua Range, near Clevedon. One found amongst leaf-mould during 

 my second visit to the locality. 



The underside of the head has a broad central lamina, which is curved, 

 but not ciliate behind, and therefore differs from *S'. lamindta. 2469, in

Shining, almost wholly chestnut-red, the legs but little paler, tarsi and 

 palpi yellow ; sparingly clothed with greyish pubescence ; body sul)- 

 depres,sed, elytra and hind-body subparallel. finely, distantly, and irregularly 

 punctured. 



Head rather short, smaller than thorax, gradually narrowed anteriorly, 

 genae nearly straight, with obtuse angles, these, however, are just per- 

 ceptibly less prominent than the eyes ; antennal tubercles nearly plane, 

 separated in front by a distinct groove, frontal chaimel deep, moderately 

 broad throughout, extending as far as the back of the eyes, occipital foveae 

 well marked and slightly elongate. Thorax about as long as broad, rounded 

 and widest before the middle, distinctly narrowed behind : lateral foveae 

 dee]), less so at the middle, basal punctures small but distinct, almost con- 

 fluent with the subquadrate fossa. Elytra oblong, a third longer than thorax, 

 very slightly narrowed towards the base ; sutural striae deep, with a small 

 basal puncture alongside each, intrahumeral striae hardly attaining the 

 middle, consisting of a basal puncture and more elongate impression. 

 Htnd-bodv rather shorter than elvtra. basal segment rather short, bearing
