Scaphisoma tenellum. 



S. nitidum, nigrum, pygidio pedibusque piceis ; antennis pallidis, 

 articulis quinque ultimis, basi apiceque exceptis, fuscis ; capite 

 prothoraceque impunctatis, hoc lobo scutellari scutellum obte- 

 gente ; elytris impunctatis, stria suturali distincta ; jDygidio conico ; 



corpore infra nigro ; abdomine segmentis sex. 



Long. 1^ liu. 



Hab. Auckland (Tairoa). 



Longer than our S. Boleti, and tlie elytra, except in the 

 sutural stria, impunctate ; in my specimen the eighth joint of 

 the antennae is much narrower than the seventh or following 

 joints. This character is found in other members of the 

 genus, but it does not seem to be invariable even in the same 

 species.
