192 Capt. T. Broun on new 
dilated. Front tibia nearly straight, their grooves deep, with 
sharp edges. 
This does not agree very well with the description of 
Morychus coruscans. The tibia are unlike those of the 
preceding species. 
Length 24, breadth 12 lines. 
Midhirst, Taranaki. One, found several years ago by 
myself. 
Pedilophorus creperus, sp. n. 
Shining, pitchy black ; legs dark red, antenne and tarsi 
obscure yellowish red. 
Head rather closely and moderately coarsely punctured all 
over. Thorax distinctly, almost as closely but not as coarsely 
sculptured as the head. Scutellum triangular. Elytra finely 
and distantly punctured, subcoriaceous, and studded with 
minute greyish hairs. ront tebiw straight, not at all deeply 
grooved. 
The appearance of this form is very different from any of 
the New-Zealand species. 
Length 14, breadth nearly 14 line. 
Dyer’s Pass. One individual, found by Mr. H. Suter. 
Pedilophorus probus, sp. n. 
Glossy, bluish green, slightly rufescent ; legs rufo-piceous, 
the tarsi, palpi, and antenne obscure reddish; sparingly 
clothed with minute greyish hairs. 
Head distinctly and closely punctured near the sides and 
base, more distantly and coarsely in front, with two smooth 
spots on the middle. Thorax moderately closely, rather 
finely, but quite distinctly punctured. Scutellum triangular, 
not at all transverse. /ytra more finely sculptured than the 
thorax, slightly coriaceous. Front tibie a little dilated and 
curved outwardly below the middle, with rather broad tarsal 
furrows. Antenne of moderate length; first joint pitchy, 
joints 7 to 11 gradually dilated, ninth and tenth strongly 
transverse. 
The sculpture of the head is unlike that of the preceding 
species. 
Length 23, breadth 12 lines. 
Taierei, Otago. 
I am indebted to Mr. 8. W. Fulton for my specimen, 
which I had set aside as a varietal form of Morychus corus- 
cans. It was found about ten years ago.
