surface even, not hispid, and only with very obsolete sculpture, bearing a scanty, 
extremely fine squamosity, which is more condensed near the sides, so that the 
surface appears there griseous; the explanate lateral margin is yellowish; it forms a 
rather large lobe, extending back more than half the length of the thorax, and has a 
distinct notch before its termination, leaving behind it a slender, rather short, lobe 
or projection; the hind angle is also slightly prominent. The elytra have no 
distinct sculpture, but are dull; a little before the apex there are some slight 
tubercular prominences, the projection being rather backwards than upwards, so 
that the apex appears rather abruptly declivous, and this part is of rather darker 
colour, the lateral margins only very obsoletely serrate. 
Picton. Helms, one example. Distinguished from B. auriculata by the different sides of the 
thorax and sculpture, and the slighter elevations over the antenne. 
ULonotus. 
Ulonotus dissimilis, n. sp.—Oblongus, angustulus, subdepressus, fuscus, supra 
sordide fusco-rufus, antennis pedibusque rufis, illis clava, his tibiis externe in medio 
fuscis; prothorace subzequali, lateribus anguste explanatis, integris, elytris brevis- 
sime setulosis, tuberculis parum elevatis seriatim dispositis. Long. 43-5 m.m. 
(Plate x11, fig. 18.) 
Third joint of antennze slender and elongate, nearly twice as long as the third ; 
club large, the ninth and tenth joimts darker than the others, the ninth three times 
as broad as the eighth. Head elongate, without any elevations over the insertion 
of the antennze, the surface opaque, densely sculptured; but the sculpture is very 
obscure, owing to depressed minute squamze concolorous with the surface. Thorax 
strongly transverse, the sides nearly straight, but with a very slight emargination 
in the middle, the anterior angles rather strongly prominent, the posterior nearly 
rectangular ; the surface is covered with granules, the dise very slightly depressed, 
and, though the surface is slightly uneven, there are no definite elevations. Elytra 
rather elongate and narrow, with three series of very slightly elevated tubercles, 
and with very indistinct series of small punctures. The legs are rather slender. 
Though this is, apparently, a not uncommon insect in New Zealand, and I some years ago received 
an example from Captain Broun (with the No. 109 attached), I cannot find any description in his 
Manual, or the supplements, to agree with it. It was found in numbers at Bealey and Picton by 
Helms. Reitter sent me an example some time ago from Greymouth, and it was represented in 
Murray’s New Zealand collection. There seems to be little to distinguish it from the type of Ulonotus, 
except the longer head, without elevations over the antenne. 
ENARSUS. 
Enarsus cucullatus, n. sp.—Oblongus, inzequalis, indumento fusco obtectus, 
prothorace anterius in medio in lobum longiorem producto, basi utrinque excisione 
lata sat profunda. Long. 10-12 m.m. (Plate xm, fig. 19.)
