of the thorax. The legs are reddish, and the tibiae are ciliated with 

 pallid setae. 



Length, 2! lines ; breadth, il. 



I found one example, quite recently, at Parua, near Whangarei 

 Harbour. It is well differentiated from C. oblongus by the flattened"" 

 granules on its prothorax. 



Group COLYDIUXE. 



Posterior coxa contiguous. First abdominal segment larger than the 

 others. Last joint of fat palpi not aciculate. 



Enarsus. 



Pascoe ; Journ. of Entom., ii. ; 444, 1866. 



Caput retractum. Oculi subrotundati. Antenna 1 1 -articulate, 

 subpilosae, clava triarticulata. Palpi maxillares sensim crassiores. 

 Mentum quadratum. Labium valde transversum. Maxillce lobo 

 interiore apice hamato. Prothorax medio elevatus, lateribus dilatatus, 

 apice fortiter sinuatus. Elytra convexa, rugosa, sub-quadrata, apice 

 late rotundata. Pedes modice elongati ; tibia filiformes, inermes, 

 ciliatae ; tarsi graciles, articulis tribus basalibus sequalibus, subtus pilosis. 

 Corpus amplum, rugosum, marginibus ciliatum. 



Allied to Rechodes, Er., but the prothorax and elytra ciliated at their 

 margins, not serrated, the tibiae also ciliated, and the maxillary palpi 

 scarcely securiform, The genus contains one of the finest species 

 among the Colydiidca, and is perhaps even more like Asida and Byrsax 

 among the Heteromera than Rechodes. 



I owe my specimen to the kindness of Robert Bakewell, Esq. 



355. E. bakewellii, Pascoe; Journ. of Entom., ii., 445, 1866. 

 E. fuscus, squamosus, indumento terreno-griseo tectus. 



Dark brown, closely covered with a greyish brownish-grey secretion, 

 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 ; sciitellum round ; 

 elytra slightly margined, deeply foveate, the suture raised in the middle, 

 posteriorly abruptly declining to the apex, the declivity with three large 

 callosities on each side ; body beneath, and legs with a dull rusty-brown 

 tomentum. 



Length, 4 lines.
