of being broad and subdepressed, as in A. deplanatus and 

 A. otagoensis, are convex and very elongate. In A. xantho- 

 melus the sides of the thorax are deeply sinuate-angustate 

 behind, the elytra are less elongate, less narrowed basally, 

 and have more sharply impressed striae. The apical sinu- 

 osities, too, are different ; in A. intermedins the narrowed 

 portion is longer and more oblique, and the sutural region is 

 elevated posteriorly. 



This, as well as the preceding and following species, are 

 much alike in coloration, so that all three form a yellow- 

 legged homogeneous series that may thus be separated from 

 the older species without much trouble.

Mr. Frank Park discovered the two specimens. 



Anchomenus integrates, sp. n. 



Subdepressed, shining, nigrescent; lateral margins, scu- 

 tellum, and labrum rufescent ; legs flavous ; tarsi and 

 antennaj fulvescent, mandibles red. 



Head oviform, labrum incurved. Thorax subcordate, of 

 equal length and breadth, widest before the middle, evidently 

 rounded there, distinctly sinuously narrowed behind, poste- 

 rior angles rectangular ; the surface almost smooth, its 

 median furrow rather fine and not extending beyond the frontal 

 impression; basal fossae deep and elongate, but not distended 

 more than halfway towards the middle of the base ; a 

 shallow curvate impression proceeds from each towards the 

 front. Elytra oblong-oval, nearly twice the width of the 

 thorax, widest behind the middle, moderately sinuated pos- 

 teriorly, apices broadly rounded so as to appear subtruncate ; 

 obviously striate, the striae finely and indistinctly punctured ; 

 interstices plane, the third with two, or three, punctures. 



Intermediate between A. otagoensis and A. helmsi, dis- 

 tinguished from the former by the more sinuated sides of the 

 thorax, the more prominent hind angles, and larger basal 

 fovea? ; from the latter by the broader and more depressed 

 elytra and obtuse apices. From both of these species it is 

 also differentiated by the colour of the limbs and feeble 

 grooving of the tarsi.
