432 COLEOPTERA. 



nodosities not distinct, without well-defined punctation. Elytra elongate- 

 subcordate, with oblique shoulders, somewhat incurved at the base, hardly 

 any broader than thorax there, twice its length ; indefinitely striate, with- 

 out distinct punctures or graiuiles, the interstices finely and irregularly 

 asperate. 



Legs and antennae like those of C. clandaa, but. owing to the dull 

 fuscous surface and indefinite sculpture, very difEerent from that species in 

 appearance. 



Underside castaneous, with elongate yellowish scales. Basal and 2nd 

 abdominal segments distinctly but not closely punctate, the 1st the larger, 

 3rd and Itli nearly smooth, each shorter than 2nd, 5th subtruncate behind, 

 6th short and concave. Prosternum deeply emarginate. Metasternum 

 broadly impressed. 



Length (rostrum inclusive), 5 mm. ; breadth, If mm. 



Mount Dick. Found by Mr. T. Hall amongst dead leaves, at an eleva- 

 tion of 2,200 ft., on the 17th March, 1914. 



3911. Clypeorhynchus setosus sp. nov. 



Elongate, subdepressed, subopaque ; fusco-castaneous, tibiae, tarsi, and 

 antennae light chestnut-red, rostral apex piceo-rufous ; thinly covered with 

 decumbent, rather short, fiavescent setae, and some brighter, coarser, 

 suberect ones which are most conspicuous on the hind part of elytra. 



Rostrum rather shorter than thorax, distantly punctate, bearing 

 squamiform setae, medially carinate, the sides indistinctly so, with an 

 angular interantennal impression ; its apical portion nearly nude, convex 

 in the middle, sparingly and finely punctate. Head immersed nearly up 

 to the transverse, obliquely oval eyes. Thorax of equal length and breadth, 

 a little wider before the middle than elsewhere, nearly straight beliind ; 

 median channel nearly equally distinct throughout, antero-lateral nodosities 

 almost obsolete, its punctation coarse but shallow, finer in front, the 

 intervals minutely and densely sculptured, the sides more thickly setose 

 than the disc. Scutellum small, triangular. Elytra thrice the length of 

 thorax, not twice its breadth, with slightly curvedly narrowed shoulders, 

 very little broader than it is at the base, gradually but considerably 

 narrowed behind the posterior femora, with strongly prolonged dentiform 

 apices ; on each elytron there ar^ 5 dorsal distinctly punctured striae, the 

 outer usually more coarsely punctured than the sutural, all finer near the 

 extremity ; interstices more or less finely punctured, the 2nd, at the base, 

 and the shoulders a little elevated, 4th similarly throughout, 5th depressed 

 near the base. 



Antennae slender, finely setose, normal, but with the 6th joint of funi- 

 culus rather larger than contiguous ones ; club elongate-oval. Legs elongate, 

 tibiae slightly flexuous. 



Fern. — Elytral apices simple. 



C. caudatus (3282) only has equally prolonged elytral apices ; it is, 

 however, a larger insect, with granular thoracic sculpture, elytral inter- 

 stices also, but more finely granulate. 



S. Length (rostrum inclusive), 8 nun. ; breadth, 2^, mm. 



Ben Lomond. Three examples taken from leaf-mould by Mr. T. Hall, 

 at an altitude of 4,000 ft., on the 3rd March, 1914.
