58 M.ijor T. Broun on new Genora and 



setae ; basal ventral segments piceous, distinctly bnt less 

 coarsel>' pnnctate, 3-5 reddish, nearly qnite smooth. 



Length (rost. incl.) 1| ; breadth nearly f line. 



Broken River [Mr. J. H. Lewis). 



Three examples found amongst fallen leaves in the bush. 



Lyperobates virilis, sp. n. 



Subopaque ; small chocolate-brown squamoe almost entirely 

 cover the body ; tarsi and antennse piceo-rufous ; club dull, 

 with very minute greyish pubescence ; scutellum yellow. 



Rostrum with two broad shallow impressions extending 

 from the eyes almost to the glabrous apex, but becoming 

 indistinct apically ; it is covered with depressed somewhat 

 rufescent scales. Thoi-ax about as long as broad, widest and 

 obtusely prominent at each side, just before the middle ; 

 there is a broad almost rounded impression near each front 

 angle in front ; at the middle are two more elongate im- 

 pressions, bordered by slight ridges; behind the middle 

 there is a broader and shorter elevation with an impression 

 on either side of it ; these are nearly continuous with the 

 frontal ones. Elytra, of the same width as thorax at the 

 base, the shoulders obliquely widened till reaching an obtuse 

 lateral prominence just behind the middle thighs; the sides 

 are then widely incurved, but are again dilated posteriorly, 

 where the hinder part of the disk projects horizontally over 

 the apical declivity ; there are four small nodosities near the 

 middle of the disk, two (more prominent) at the base, and 

 two smaller ones near each side in line with the intermediate 

 and posterior femora ; they are indistinctly striate-punctate. 



DiflFers from L. asper (2534) in coloration, in having much 

 less rough-looking elytra, which, moreover, are of a diflFerent 

 outline, it lacks the more distinctly defined ridge along the 

 middle of the thorax, and the rostrum is slightly longer and 

 differently sculptured. 



Length (rost. incl.) 4 ; breadth If lines. 



Mount Pirongia. One in my own collection. 



Hygrochus granifer, sp. n. 



Subopaque, piceous ; antennse and tarsi fusco-rufous, these 

 latter and the funiculus shining ; covered with slender, de- 

 pressed, fuscous and coppery squamse, and with some pallid 

 or greyish setae which are somewhat concentrated on the 

 posterior nodosities.
