484 On Neio Oenera and Species of Heteromera. 



abdomen) than on the npperside ; flanks of prothorax sparsely, 

 pronotum closely and coarsely, rugose-tuberculate : legs rather 

 long, reddish brown ; hind tibia? a little sinuous, front tibiae 

 with the outer apical angle strongly dentiform ; tarsi elongate ; 

 antennae and palpi ferruginous. 



Length 5^ lines ; width of elytra 2^- lines. 



Hah. New Zealand. One example. 



Cilile tibialis^ n. sp. 



Oblong or (rarely) oblong-oval, convex, entirely dark brown, 

 slightly shining, anterior border of the head more or less 

 rufescent ; epistoma broadly emarginate in front, the sides 

 distinct from the antennary orbits, the angles broadly rounded : 

 head and prothorax rather coarsely and closely punctured, the 

 interstices on the middle of the former, and on the sides of the 

 latter, appearing a little elevated and somewhat reticulate : 

 prothorax strongly transverse, rather broadly and feebly, and 

 usually a little sinuously, emarginate at apex ; front angles not 

 at all prominent, convergent ; sides more or less rounded 

 (ordinarily they are well rounded), more or less strongly in- 

 curved anteriorly from the middle, less strongly and a little 

 sinuously posteriorly ; hind angles acutely produced, divergent ; 

 lateral margins not distinctly expanded, the edges very finely 

 and almost uniformly thickened ; the three impressions by the 

 basal border always obscure, sometimes obsolete : elytra 

 oblong, or oblong-oval, the j)unctuation finer than on the pro- 

 thorax and with a disposition to ran together between the 

 costse ; costae more or less distinct ; the intervals, or interstices, 

 more or less distinctly reticulate-rugose at the base, sides, and 

 apex; lateral margins narrowly expanded, usually not di- 

 stinctly extending to the apex, strongly reflexed at the base, 

 rather coarsely transversely rugose-punctate : flanks (save the 

 lateral margins) of prothorax and sides of abdomen longitu- 

 dinally wrinkled; flanks of meso- and metasterna coarsely 

 punctured ; abdomen finely punctured ; underside shining 

 black ; epipleui-al fold and legs reddish brown, or piceous ; 

 antennaj elongate, and, together with the palpi, ferruginous ; 

 outer apical angle of the anterior tibiae strongly dentiform. 

 Length 6-7^ lines ; width of elytra 2^-3| lines. 

 Hah. New Zealand. Seven examples. 



The apical emargination of the prothorax is distinctly more 

 feeble in this species than in any of the others, and the front 

 angles least prominent ; it is also the most convex, and, ordi- 

 narily, the most oblong, form.
