Coleoptera from New Zealand. 191 
Pedilophorus tibialis, sp. n. 
Glossy, cupreo-eneous, rufescent; legs red, antenne 
obscure red, tarsi testaceous. 
Head distinctly punctured, very closely so near the sides. 
Thorax very finely and not at all closely punctured. Scuw- 
tellum small, triangular. /ytra finely sculptured, coria- 
ceous. ront tibie widely dilated and curved externally, the 
tarsal impressions broad, shallow, and ill-defined, consisting 
only of a flattening along the front face. Antenne rather 
short and stout, joints 3 to 5 only moderately slender, third 
longest, sixth obconical, broader and evidently shorter than 
the fifth ; 7 to 10 rather compact and broad, eleventh large, 
nearly the length of the preceding two. 
This, there can be no doubt, is a distinct species. 
Length 12, breadth quite $ line. 
Dyer’s Pass, near Christchurch. One, damaged, found by 
Mra) Suter. 
Pedilophorus puncticeps, sp. n. 
Shining, head eneo-rufous, thorax and elytra eneous ; legs 
red, tarsi, palpi, and antennz paler. 
Head coarsely and rather closely punctured. Thorax 
distinctly and rather closely, but not as coarsely or closely 
punctured as the head. Scewtellum small, triangular. Llytra 
coriaceous. Anterior tébie broadly grooved and somewhat 
curved. Antenne rather slender; sixth joint short, yet ob- 
viously longer than broad, the last five enlarged. 
Mr. Pascoe describes the head of Morychus coruscans as 
being “ leviter subconfertim punctato,”’ the scutellum “ trans- 
versim triangulari,” and the thorax ‘“subtilissime punctatus ;”’ 
it is evident therefore that P. puncticeps is quite dissimilar. 
Length 24, breadth 1} lines.
