400 COLEOPTERA. 
Antennae similar to those of C. sulcifrons. The abbreviated thoracic 
stria, subangular hind part of the shoulders, narrow elytral striae and 
broad, plane interstices, and the subacuminate extremity are its chief 
distinguishing features. 
Length (rostrum inclusive), 7} mm. ; breadth, 33 mm. 
Waipu Beach. One example, found by Mr. A. E. Brookes, 10th Janu- 
ary, 1914. 
3862. Cecyropa jucunda sp. nov. 
Opaque, the derm invisible except on a basal spot of the elytra 
which is castaneous, legs and antennae chestnut-red; densely covered 
with depressed fuscous and tawny scales; the former almost cover the 
thoracic disc, the sides and a pair of basal and apical spots are yellowish ; 
on the hind-body the pale ones form numerous spots and almost wholly 
cover the sides. 
Rostrum half the length of thorax, with a few apical punctures, and a 
shallow stria extending as far as the eyes. Thorax nearly a fourth broader 
than long, its sides strongly rounded,.more narrowed anteriorly than at 
the base, with a short apical constriction, without any perceptible median 
stria or punctation.  Elytra cordate, just double the length of thorax, 
slightly emarginate and rather broader than it is at the base, just behind 
the oblique shoulders they are about a fifth broader than the middle of the 
thorax, nearly vertical and subacuminate behind; there is no distinct 
dorsal sculpture except some obsolete serial punctures, the apical portion, 
however, is striate-punctate. 
In form somewhat similar to C. striatella, but without any lateral dila- 
tation behind the shoulder, and with quite different sculpture and vestiture. 
Joints 3-7 of the funicle are rather small and evidently transverse; the 
corbels of the hind tibiae are distinctly tubereulate. The elytral macula- 
tion is more irregular than that of C. alternata (2863) from Lyttelton, the 
setae are a little thicker, and the antennae are rather shorter and more 
slender. 
On a careful examination of the thorax, near the sides particularly, 
some flat iridescent scales can be seen, varying from silvery grey to pink ; 
there are others on the elytra. 
Length (rostrum inclusive), 7mm.; breadth, 35 mm. 
Muriwai, west coast of Auckland. Unique. Found by Mr. A. E, 
Brookes on the 13th April, 1914. 
3863. Cecyropa laticollis sp. nov. 
Opaque, rufo-castaneous, densely covered with greyish-tawny and infus- 
cate scales, the latter forming irregular dark marks on the thorax and hind- 
body ; the setae rather fine and short, but much longer along the sides 
and on the legs and scape; antennae and tarsi fusco-rufous. 
Rostrum quite half the length of thorax, its fine central stria extending 
to the occiput, the apex closely and moderately coarsely punctured. Thorax 
large, a third broader than long, slightly constricted at apex, its sides only 
moderately rounded, as broad behind as at the middle, but obliquely and 
almost abruptly narrowed near the base; the surface with minute dark 
specks, its mesial stria distinct but slender. Elytra scarcely twice the 
length of thorax, rather broader than it is at the base, their obliquely 
narrowed shoulders without any angular posterior dilatation, their sides 
gently narrowed backwards, but much more strongly near the subvertical
