4 i 68. Euglyptus longiceps sp. now 



Nit i«l. rufous, ant. nna'- and legs light chestnut-red, palpi and tarsi 

 test a i runs ; pubescence greyish or pale brassy, decumbent, slender on 

 some parts, minutely squamiform on others. 



Head oblong, not quite as long or broad as thorax, nearly straight behind 

 the small eves, with obtuse hind angles, more narrowed anteriorly, mode- 

 rately distinctly and closely punctate ; the pair of foveae, situated farther 

 back than the eves, prolonged as a broad furrow between the tubercles. 

 Thorax rather Longer than broad, widest before the middle, gently narrowed 

 backwards, quite obliquely in front; its punctation moderately coarse 

 and close, median channel broad, extending from the base almost to the 

 apex. Lateral foveae Large, quite half the whole length, the transverse 

 impression near the base is obsolete. Elytra oblong, a third longer and 

 broader than thorax, narrowed before the middle, incurved and rather 

 broader than it is at the base, impunctate ; sutural and dorsal striae 

 equally broad, deeper near the base than behind, the outer carina, on 

 each elytron, thick at the base, perfectly distinct at the extremit) r but 

 distant from the side, the inner carina less sharply developed. Hind- 

 body a little shorter than the wing-cases ; apparently smooth, with sub- 

 equal segments, the first transversely impressed at the base. Legs elongate 

 and slender, tibiae slightly expanded towards the extremity. 



Underside chestnut-red. Head with a large basal impression which 

 is prolonged, but becomes narrower, along the middle. Presternum slightly 

 (•annate. Metasternum convex. Basal ventral segment ciliate, partly 

 covered by the femora, segments 2-5 diminish, sixth broad, simple. 



In size and general form nearly similar to E. sublaevis ; the elytra darker, 

 their carinae obviously more definite ; the shape and sculpture of the head 

 and thorax different ; the eyes small ; the antennae, club inclusive, are 

 stouter. 



E. costifer (2725). (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, vol. 12, p. 166). is 

 considerably smaller, its eyes too are smaller, all the joints of the antennae 

 are more slender, the ninth is evidently narrower at the extremity, and 

 the legs are less elongate. 



'.. Length, almost 2 mm. ; breadth, f mm. 



Waimarino, Main Trunk Railway. One female only, found by myself 

 amongst dead leaves during January, 1909. 



4169. Euglyptus abnormis sp. now 



Elongate, narrowed anteriorly, slightly convex, nitid, almost smooth ; 

 light chestnut-red, antennae and legs paler, palpi and tarsi testaceous ; 

 nuhescence scanty, decumbent, flavescent. 



Head subovate, widest in line with the moderately large eyes, just 

 behind the middle, more narrowed in front than behind : indefinitely 

 sculptured, seemingly minutely and distantly granulate, without distinct 

 foveae or frontal channel, the tubercles convex and moderately separated. 

 Thorax impunctate, oviform, longer than broad, obtusely rounded and 

 widest at the middle : with a deep ante-basal impression between the Large 

 lateral foveae. Rlytra oblong, fully a third Longer and broader than 

 thorax, somewhat narrowed towards the base yet rather wider than it is 



there, apparently smooth ; sutural striae well marked, deeper at the base, 

 int rahunieral impressions short, deep, and broad, with subcarinate borders. 

 Hind-body shorter than elytra, its segments subequal, the first transversely 

 impressed at tin- base. Legs elongate and slender.
