146 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on neio Genera and 



This pretty little species is at once distinguished by the 

 form of its elytra. 



Eugnomns fucosus. 



E. fusco-castancus, supra setidis uumcrosis instructus, pedibus rufo- 

 testaceis ; rostro sat valido, capite scsqudougioro, apice rufo ; 

 clava antcnnarum ampliato-ovata ; funiculo articulo basali am- 

 pliato, longiusculo, sccundo midto breviore ; prothorace subtrans- 

 Tcrso; scutello clongato, albo ; elytris striato-punctatis, inter- 

 stitiis subplanatis, supra fere obsolete albo-maculatis. Long. 

 1 liu. 



Ilah. Tairua. 



A smaller species than E. fervidus {ante^ vol. xviii. p. 62), 

 with a longer head and proportionally shorter and stouter 

 rosti-um. In some specimens there is a reddish spot on each 

 shoulder. 



Pachyura metalUca. 



P. oblonga, aureo- ( c? ) vel purpureo-cuprea ( $ ) ; antennis, tibiis 

 tarsisque brunneo-testaceis, illis basi rostri insertis ; capite pro- 

 thoraceque fortitcr punctatis ; scutello majusculo ; elytris trans- 

 vcrsim punctatis, interstitiis (transversis) elcvatis ; corpore infra 

 sparse albo-piloso ; metasterno in medio longitudiu alitor canali- 

 culato. Long. 2^ lin. c? , 4 lin. $ . 



Hah. Christchurch. 



Except the South- American Homalocerus^ the Belinse (to 

 which tliis genus belongs) are a purely Australian gi-oup ; this 

 species, however, is not to be approximated to any of its con- 

 geners, although a most orthodox Pachyura. Perhaps the 

 difference in size and coloration of the two sexes is not always 

 so well marked as in my specimens. 



Acalles impexus. 



A. ovatus, fuscus, griseo-squamosus, squamulis erectis adspersus ; 

 rostro modice elongate; antennis subferrugineis, pone medium 

 rostri insertis ; funiculo articulis duobus basalibus longitudine 

 sequalibus ; prothorace latitudine longitudini aequali, antice con- 

 stricto, apice bidentato, in medio bicalloso ; scutello inconspicuo ; 

 elytris cordatis, convexis, rude punctatis, interstitiis secundo bi-, 

 tertio juxta basin unicalloso, lateribus minus callosis; pedibus 

 rude squamosis. Long. 1| lin. 



Ilab. Canterbury. 



Size and shape of A. intutus, but elytra more cordiform, 

 and with the prothorax very irregular.
