Coleoptera from New Zealand. 383 



Calodera vestita, sp. n. 



Elongate ; abdomen glossy fuscous, head and thorax f usco 

 rufous and only slightly shining, the legs, antennae, and elytra 

 red ; pubescence slender, yellow, not so conspicuous on the 

 head and thorax as on the elytra. 



Antenncn longer and stouter than in C. sericophora, their 

 three basal joints elongate, the third shorter than the first or 

 second, fourth about as long as broad, fifth to tenth trans- 

 verse, the terminal conical and large ; they bear fine pubes- 

 cence, and short, erect, slender setae. Head slightly narrowed 

 behind the eyes, distinctly and closely punctured, more indis- 

 tinctly behind, smooth in front. Thorax oviform, about as 

 broad as it is long, its sculpture like that of the head, the 

 central groove broad and deep near the base and apex. 

 Elytra subquadrate, rather finely and not closely punctured, 

 more indistinctly behind. Hind body finely and indistinctly 

 sculptured, but with coarser punctures across the base of the 

 four first segments, the fifth distantly and minutely asperate, 

 the sixth retracted but apparently granulate. Legs long and 

 slender, with short pubescence. 



Somewhat similar to No. 173, the wing-cases and antennae 

 longer, the punctuation of the head and thorax neither so 

 close nor distinct. It is larger and less shining than G. seri- 

 cophora, with much more evident punctures on the head and 

 thorax.

West Plains, Southland. I am indebted to Mr. Alfred 

 Philpott for my specimen ; it was found in August 1893. 



Calodera tumidella, sp. n. 



Elongate, subopaque, hind body shining castaneous ; the 

 head, thorax, and elytra obscure red ; femora and three basal 

 joints of the antennae red ; the two hind pairs of tibiae and 

 joints 4 to 10 of the antennae fuscous; pubescence yellowish 

 grey, rather dense on elytra. 



Head rather large, rounded behind, its punctuation distinct 

 and close, quite dense near the sides. Antennas rather short 

 and stout, the basal three joints elongate and nearly equal, 

 fourth about as long as broad, fifth to tenth transverse, eleventh 

 conical. Thorax about as broad as it is long, widest before 

 the middle ; distinctly and closely punctured, finely and 

 densely near the front, less distinctly near the base ; the 

 sculpture on some parts appears minutely rugose ; there is a 

 central basal fovea, but no dorsal channel. Elytra hardly 

 longer than broad, closely sculptured, slightly rugose, quite
