Hub. New Zealand. 



Dark brown, closely covered with a gi'eyish or brownish-^ey secre- 

 tion, and with short, erect, more or less scattered scales ; head deeply 

 immersed in the prothorax, forming a nearly continuous line with the 

 dilated margins of the latter; prothorax with a double gibbosity above 

 the head, the dilated margins with two deep pits on each side ; scu- 

 tellum round; elytra slightly margined, deeply foveate, the suture 

 raised in the middle, posteriori}- abruptly declining to the apex, the 

 declivity with three large callosities on each side ; body beneath and 

 legs with a dull rusty -brown tomontum. T^ength 4 linos. 



Knnom r;TEs | KhipiccridiD j . 

 Caput antice brevissimimi, labio minuto. Ocidi niagni, promiuentes. I*aljji 

 acuti. Antenncc ll-articiUatae ; scapo modice elongato, curvato, art. 

 2o obconico, reliquis paulo elongatis, flabellatis. Prothorax triangularis, 

 apice truncatus, angulis posticis depressus, basi bisinuatus. Ehjtra pro- 

 thorace hand latiora, augustata, subparallela. Tibia' sublineares ; tarsi 

 filiformes, lamellis nidlis, articulo ultimo caeteris simul sumptisbreviore; 

 onychium distinctum. Coxoi anticae et intermedia} approximatoe, valde 

 elongatae. Abdomen segmentis quinque, basali brevissimo. Corpus 

 angustum, fere parallelum. 



The longer joints of the antennae of this genus, contrasted with the 

 very short joints in the allied form Callirhipis, although apparently 

 not a very decided character, give to those organs such a very dif- 

 ferent appearance as to necessitate their separation ; but in addition 

 to this the tarsi are long, filiform, and with the last joint much 

 shorter than all the preceding together. Arraj)hus, Kraatz, differs 

 most essentially from CaUirJiipis and this genus in the three inter- 

 mediate joints of the tarsi being bilobed, and very distinctly lamel- 

 lated beneath. I find, in all the specimens of Callirhipis I have 

 examined, only five abdominal segments — not six, as stated. 



Ennometes Lacordairei. (PL XIX. fig. 2.)

 Tvith a slight horseshoe depression at the base ; scutellum small, a'rcu- 

 lar; elytra closely seriate-punctate, the intervals slightly raised ; body

 mixed on the tibiae with short spinous tubercles. T.ength o lines.
