OTIORHYNCHIDAE. 405 
Rostrum indistinctly carinate, normal. Thorax uneven, rather short, 
broader than long, slightly wider near the middle than elsewhere, a little 
impressed across the front, with a short longitudinal depression on the 
middle and a slight swelling behind; the dark scales congregated between 
the middle and sides near ‘the base. Scutellum small, grey. Elytra sub- 
cordate, hardly double the width of thorax in their broadest parts, a little 
narrowed near the base, much narrowed behind and, conjointly, sub- 
acuminate at the apex, almost thrice the length of the thorax ; apparently 
rather distantly and finely striate-punctate, 3rd and 5th interstices only 
obsoletely elevated, the setae regularly seriate right to the extremity. 
Antennae short, scape stout; basal joint of funiculus thicker and 
rather longer than the next, 3rd rather longer than broad, the others bead- 
like but not transverse ; club elongate-oval. 
Legs with scales and greyish setae, tibiae slightly flexuous, the hind 
pairs distinctly denticulate along the inside. 
Near J. osculans (1522), more rough-looking, the setae much more 
conspicuous, the scape evidently thicker, rostrum not perceptibly carinate, 
tarsi shorter, and with denticulate tibiae, whereas those of 1522 are simple. 
Length (rostrum inclusive), 52 mm. ; breadth, 24 mm. 
Longwood Range, Southland. Unique. Found by Mr. A. Philpott in 
December, 1913. 
3871. Tigones longiceps sp. nov. 
Elongate, opaque, fusco-piceous, antennae and tarsi fusco-rufous ; 
covered with depressed squamae, which for the most part are yellowish- 
brown, but fuscous ones form a lateral patch near each hind thigh; the 
setae are somewhat flavescent, erect on the elytral nodosities, decumbent 
on the dorsum. 
Rostrum a third shorter than thorax, distinctly carmate. Eyes slightly 
convex, the space between the hind part of each and the thoracic margin 
equals the length of the eye. Thorax slightly broader than long, a little 
wider before the middle than elsewhere ; rather finely punctate, obtusely 
ridged along the middle, without obvious rugae. Scutellum subtriangular. 
Elytra oblong, almost thrice the length of thorax, a fourth broader than 
it is at the “base, with shghtly curvedly narrowed shoulders, gradually 
narrowed from the hind thighs backwards, not quite vertical behind, 
apices obtuse; apparently rather finely seriate-punctate, 3rd interstices 
elevated at the base, obsoletely along the middle, terminating at the summit 
of the declivity as elongate, horizontal, but not prominent nodosities, just 
outside and below each of these there is a minute crest. 
Tibiae nearly straight externally, the hind pairs finely denticulate along 
the inner side. 
Scape finely setose; 2nd joint of funiculus as long as the basal, 3rd 
evidently shorter, jomts 4-7 short and submoniliform ; club elongate-oval. 
Ordinarily the interval between the thorax and the eye is little more 
than half as great as it is in this species. The large smooth scrobes nearly 
reach the lower part of the eyes. Sharp's Protophormus binodulus (2090), 
though nearly allied, is smaller. 
Length (rostrum inclusive), 7-8 mm.; breadth, 23-23 mm. 
Harris Saddle, near Routeburn ; 4,200 fie pain found by Mr. T. 
Hall on the 12th February, 1914. In one there are many brassy-grey 
squamae.
