132 Major T. Broun on new Genera and 



Antenna inserted between the middle and apex, basal joint 

 of funiculus stout, second much more slender and shorter, 

 3-7 small and monilii'orm ; club stout, ovate, apparently, but 

 uot distinctly, quadri-articulate. 



Like E. insignis; the hind-body longer, much less attenuate 

 posteriorly, ditferently clothed and sculptured, the variegation 

 ill defined. The thorax is longer and more rugosely sculp- 

 tured. The eyes are placed more on the upper part of 

 the head. The thighs are more inflated, punctate, and 

 emarginate underneath near the extremity. We have no 

 other species like it. 



Length (rost. excl.) 1^; breadth | line. 



Otago. From the same source as the preceding one. 



Erirhinus spadiceus, sp. n. 



Suhnudus, bearing only a few inconspicuous minute setae ; 

 a little shining, rufo-castaneous, the tip of the rostrum, and 

 the club, piceous. 



Rostrum moderately coarsely and irregularly punctured, 

 but nearly smooth in front. Thorax widest near the middle, 

 slightly more rounded in front than behind, its length and 

 breadth nearly equal; distinctly and moderately closely 

 punctured. Scutellum small. Elytra widely incurved at 

 the base and a little broader than the thorax, gradually 

 narrowed backwards ; striate punctate, quite striate behind ; 

 interstices plane, with fine serial punctures. 



Legs robust ; femora arched above ; tibiae a little flexuous, 

 mucronate, the two hind pairs short. Antennce slender, 

 inserted between the middle and apex of the rostrum ; basal 

 joint of funiculus stout, joints 4-7 bead-like, seventh a little 

 broader than preceding one ; club large, articulate, with 

 some yellowish pubescence. 



Underside reddish, punctate. Prosternum slightly in- 

 curved. Front coxae contiguous, the intermediate slightly 

 separated. Metasternum short, broadly depressed, as are 

 also the basal two ventral segments, the second distinctly 

 shorter than first, third and fourth well developed, fifth 

 broadly impressed. 



Distinguishable at once by the unicolorous, almost 

 glabrous surface. 



Length (rost. excl.) If ; breadth nearly | line. 



Mount Maungatua, Otago. One from Mr. S. W. Fulton. 



Erirhinus castigatus, sp. u. 



Slender, slightly shining, uniformly fulvcscent, antennal 

 club fuscous ; sparingly clothed with minute greyish hairs.
