I 86 COLEOPTERA 



The antennal club is not very large, so that the difference between it 

 and the ninth joint is not so well marked as usual, though plainly 

 visible; the body is larger, and the tibiae much stouter, and fringed with 

 fine setse. 



Length, if line; breadth, J. 



Described from one example found at Tairua. 



329. A. fervidulus, n.s. Rather narrow, moderately convex. 

 Head granulated rather finely, with a transverse impression in front, it is 

 reddish, with fine pale setae disposed over its surface. Thorax about as 

 long as broad, the disc transversely convex, the sides widened, with two 

 deep excisions forming three lobes, the anterior about half the length of 

 the side with an excision behind, the middle one smaller, very narrow, 

 the posterior very small ; the front and base are rounded, the former 

 deeply hollowed behind each eye, the angle being acute and prominent ; 

 its surface is granulated, and has some irregular depressions bordered by 

 slightly-elevated, irregular, curved ridges. The elytra are oblong, trans- 

 versely convex, the base sinuous and as broad as the thorax, they are 

 sub-parallel, with serrate margins ; each elytron is longitudinally divided 

 into four distinct spaces by means of three slightly depressed punctured 

 lines, there are two basal elevations, and their whole surface is so 

 densely covered with setse as to render their sculpture indistinct ; they 

 are of a bright infuscate red, with small fuscous lateral spots near the 

 middle, and their clothing is yellow ; the thorax is similarly coloured. 



The tibia are finely hispid. 



Length, ij line. 



I found my unique example at Tairua. 



330. A. punctipenniS, n.s. ^ This species might, at first sight, be 

 mistaken for A. fervidulus, which it closely resembles, but the elytral 

 sculpture will be sufficient to distinguish it from that species. 



Each elytron is regularly punctured, but not furrowed longitudinally, 

 and bears five small tufts of fine setse of a much paler colour than the 

 rest of the surface, probably concealing small tubercles ; there is a large 

 triangular space near the side formed of small fuscous patches, and the 

 rest of the surface is of a pale rufo-testaceous colour. 



The head and thorax also are brightly coloured. 



Length, ij line. 



Of this species, I possess only the single individual which I found at 

 Tairua. 



Ulonotus. 



Eric hs on. 



Mentum quadrate, sub-equilateral. Ligula horny, narrowed and 

 ciliated in front. Internal lobe of the jaws terminated by a horny hook, 

 and ciliated inwardly ; the external ciliated at the end. Palpi short, 

 last joint of the labial oval and pointed ; that of the maxillary securi- 

 form. Mandibles bifid at their extremity. Labrum transversal, rounded
