turn, genis brevibus baud angulatis. Antenna breviter pubescentes, 

 scapo gradatim clavato, articulo tertio quam scapo vel articulo quarto 

 breviore. 0#//magni, reniformes, grosse granulati, supra longe dis- 

 tantes. Thorax rhomboideus, planatus. Elytra linearia, apice obtuse 

 rotundato. Pedes modice elongati ; femora gradatim incrassata. Coxa 

 anticae conicae, contiguae, exsertae, prosterno ante coxas truncate ; coxse 

 intermediae contiguse, mesosterno antice triangulari, inter coxas baud 

 continuato. Abdomen (F.) normale. 



This is another of the anomalous forms of Longicornia, of which 

 there are so many in Australia and New Zealand. Its nearest ally seems 

 to be Tricheops ; but the head is nearly plane between the antennae, and 

 the antenniferous tubers are almost horizontal, with a continuous im- 

 pressed dorsal line. 



1008. A. pauper, Bates; Ann. Nat. Hist., July, 1874. A.fulvo- 

 testacea, glabra, pedibus pallidioribus ; capite thoraceque Isevibus sub- 

 sericeis, hoc medio utrinque angulari haud spinoso ; elytris punctulatis, 

 utrinque bicostulatis, apud latera ad apicem Isevibus. 



Long, 3^-4 lin., M. F. 



Linear and .depressed, nearly glabrous, but moderately shining. The 

 head and thorax in their wider parts are as broad as the elytra; the lat- 

 ter are smooth on the sides (which are vertical) and near the apex, but 

 punctulate and with two raised discoidal lines from the base to beyond 

 the middle. 



Auckland (Mr. Lawson) ; three examples. 



NOTE. This species I also found at Auckland. 



1009. A. lepturoides, Bates ; Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Aug., 1876. 

 Elongata, fusco-castanea, palpis pedibusque flavo-testaceis ; supra laevis 1 , 

 glabra, sericeo-nitens ; thoracis medio angulatim dilatato ; elytris vix 

 striatis, interstitiis nonnullis paulo elevatis. 



Long., 4 lin. 



Canterbury (Mr. Wakefield). 



Distinguished from A. pauper by its dark castaneous colour, and by 

 the absence of distinct punctures on the elytra. The head is of the same 

 rounded form, flattened in front and very broad between the eyes and 

 base of antennae ; but the thorax is decidedly broader and perfectly 

 smooth. The elytra have very shallow striae without visible punctation, 

 and some of the interstices are elevated, but the apical portion is per- 

 fectly smooth. 



1010. A. ailbreyi, n.s. Fuscous, head and thorax darkest, palpi 

 testaceous, antennse and tibiae rufo-testaceous, moderately shining. Head 

 punctulate, with impressed dorsal line. Thorax sub-transverse, regularly 

 rounded laterally, scarcely tubercular, base and apex truncate ; the disc 

 is somewhat convex, plane, but with indications of two round foveae near 

 the middle. Elytra long, broader than head or thorax, particularly near 

 the apex, where they are widest ; their sculpture is indistinct, but they 

 are feebly striated, with scarcely elevated interstices, the whole surface 

 being more or less rugulose. The fourth antennal joint is as short as the 

 third.
