384 COLEOPTERA. 



anmilnv. Klytia almost double the length of thorax, depressed and of 

 about the same width as it is at the base, rather narrower and more 

 obviously marginate there than at the middle, gently narrowed posteriorly 

 and almost entirely eovering the pygidium ; the suture is somewhat 

 depressed, but there is no perceptible sculpture. 



Antennae stout, rathei' longer than the head and thorax, finely 

 pubescent ; 2nd joint elongate, rather longer than the thicker, oblong 1st ; 

 the next nearly twice as long as broad ; 5th somewhat larger than either of 

 the contiguous ones ; 7th subquadrate, a little broader than 5th ; 8th 

 equally broad but very short : lOtli ([uadiate, rather larger than Dth. the 

 terminal subconical. 



Legs finely setose ; tibiae straight inwardly, gradually expanded, 

 obliquely narrowed outwardly near the extremity, the intermediate pair 

 obtusely subangulate below the middle ; front and middle tarsi with 

 dilated basal joints, those of the former pair cordiform and emarginate 

 at apex, those of the latter broadly oblong, their 4th joints minute ; 

 the posterior tarsi slender and elongate. 



Underside with yellow pubescence. Prosternum deeply emarginate. 

 Abdomen more or less finely punctate, basal segment rather longer than 

 the next, its. apical suture somewhat obUterated in the middle, straight 

 at the sides ; 2nd with a spiniform process extending to the apex of 

 the 3rd, 5th slightly longer than 4th, 6th deeply emarginate. 



Fern. — Tibiae, tarsi, and 2nd ventral segment simple. 



/. concinnus (273) is broader, with somewhat differently formed 

 antennae and tibiae, and the flat process of the 2nd segment is distinctly 

 bisulcate. /. compacfus (1907) is considerably larger, and represented by 

 a single female only. 



(J. Length, 2|- mm. ; breadth, quite 1 mm. 



Belgrove, near Nelson ; 24th October, 1914. Four examples found 

 by Mr. T. Hall amongst decaying leaves. 



3836. Inocatops granipennis sp. nov. 



Oblong-oval, moderately convex ; head and thorax shining chestnut- 

 red, antennae and legs paler, tarsi yellow, elytra subopaque and more 

 infuscate than the thorax ; i^ubescence yellow, elongate. 



Somewhat sinailar to the female of I. sinnijer, the space near the 

 posterior angles of the thorax smaller, less flattened and prolonged 

 backwards. Elytra almost elongate-cordate, a httle wider before the 

 middle than -those of /. spinifer, distinctly rcninded there, somewhat 

 obliquely narrowed behind, the declivity longer and, when examined 

 sideways, appearing flatter ; disc nearly plane, the suture not depi-essed, 

 their whole surface covered witli small flattened granules, many of 

 these have a minute central puncture. 



$. Length, 2| mm. ; breadth, quite 1 mm. 



Belgrove ; 24th October. 1914. Described from a single female sent 

 by Mr. T. Hall. 



3837. Inocatops elongellus sp. nov. 



Elongate-oval, only moderately convex, nitid ; castaneo-rufous, antennae 

 paler, legs fulvescent or testaceous, tarsi and palpi yellow ; thickly clothed
