442 Suarp—On New Zealand Coleoptera. 
sculpture, which is not true punctuation, and is not present on the costa; they 
have a few short feeble hairs, most distinct at the apex. 
Picton, Helms; one mutilated example of quite uncertain sex. 
CERALOMUS (nov. gen. Cerambycinorum). 
Jorpus parvum, tomento subtilissine vestitum. Caput exsertum, fronte minus 
elongato, abrupte perpendiculare; oculi omnino divisi, supra valde distantes, a 
thorace remotis. Antennz corpore longiores, sat tenues, simplices, articulis 3-6 
apicibus subnodosis. Thorax lateribus obtuse angulatis. Coxze anteriores haud 
prominule, parum transverse, acetabule extus latissime aperte, trochantinis 
maximis; inter se parum distantes. Acetabula intermedia extus late aperte; 
metasternum elongatum, episternis modice latis. 
This is another genus, apparently without any ally, to be placed in the 
New Zealand list near Calliprason, to which, however, it is only very distantly 
allied ; the facies is rather that of the Lamiade, such as Hybolasius or Tetrorea 
sellata, and I had no idea until I investigated it that it would prove a Cerambycid, 
though really its structures are quite normally Cerambycid; the antennz are 
inserted 01 the summit of the depressed head, far from the mandibles; the eyes 
are so deeply emarginate that they are practically divided into two parts, of which 
the superior is much smaller than the inferior; they are placed far from the front 
margin of the thorax, and are finely faceted; the front coxal cavities are open 
behind, the mesosternum being very approximate to them; a short process, broad 
in front, imperfectly divides them, and they project only slightly beyond it; the 
middle coxee are widely separated; the femora have the basal half much more 
slender than the outer, the division between the two parts not abrupt; the tibize 
are very slender, and the basal joint of the hind tarsus is elongate, longer than the 
two following together; the hind body is normal, its five segments sub-equal in 
length. 
Ceralomus morosus, n. sp.—Niger, sub-olivescens, opacus, pube argentea 
subvariegatus, pedibus fuscis, tarsis antennisque testaceis, his articulis versus 
apices nigricantibus; elytris haud punctatis, omnium subtilissime rugulosis. Long. 
74 mm. 
Antennz with the first six joints sparingly armed with erect hairs beneath, 
scape rather long, but little thicker at the apex than at the base, each of these 
joints (except the basal and second) swollen at the apex, and with the incrassate 
part black; thorax as long as broad, each side with a large angular prominence, 
and the disc between these with two large obsolete elevations, the surface only 
minutely sculptured, with a small spot on the middle; between the prominences 
smooth; elytra slender, even, dull olivaceous black, marbled with a minute silvery
