Group-OTIORHYNCHIDJE. 



Trachyphlceus (p. 43) 



1616. T. cecyropioides, n.s. Ovate-oblong, convex, slightly 

 shining, obscure-ferruginous, clothed with dull-coloured depressed 

 scales and greyish-yellow setae. 



Rostrum with many small granular elevations. Antenna stout ; 

 scape covered with scale-like matter and coarse greyish setae ; the 

 funicle with greyish hairs, red. Prothorax rather broader than long, 

 constricted in front, widest before the middle, the sides not much 

 rounded but narrowed behind ; its punctation neither close nor 

 coarse, and the intervals with minute granules. Elytra distinctly 

 broader than thorax at the base, their sides scarcely curved, narrowed 

 posteriorly; striate-punctate, interstices convex, with, apparently, 

 very minute granules. Legs setigerous. 



Somewhat similar to No. 754, larger ; the setae as coarse, much 

 coarser than those of No. 755. 



Length (rost. inch), if lines ; breadth, nearly -f. 



Discovered near Port Chalmers by Mr. T. Chalmer. 



Group-RH YPAROSOMID^ . 



Cecyropa (P. 437). 



1617. C. Setigera, n.s. Oviform, broad; fuscous, tibiae and 

 tarsi paler, antennae ferruginous ; densely covered with minute, 

 depressed, greyish scales and numerous semi-erect, short coarse 

 setae. 



Hostrum normal, with a median depression. Antenna stout, scape 

 squamose and bearing many grey hairs ; funiculus hairy, second 

 joint more slender than first, nearly as long as the following two, 

 third longer than fourth, fourth and seventh transverse, the seventh 

 considerably broader than sixth ; club ovate, pubescent. Prothorax 

 transversal, strongly rounded laterally, constricted in front ; its 

 sculpture concealed by the squamosity. Elytra cordiform, finely 

 striate-punctate, interstices broad and a little elevated. Legs 

 squamose, and, like the sides of the body, clothed with hair-like 

 setae. 



Of the usual form ; the sides behind the shoulders less expanded 

 than in Nos. 769 and 770, the hind-body more abruptly deflexed but 

 less narrowed posteriorly ; the setae are obvious, and are disposed in 

 rows on the wing-cases. 



Length, 2% lines ; breadth, i-|.

1618. I. sillcifer, n.s. Sub-opaque, greyish-black, sparingly 

 clothed with fine, elongate, griseous scales, the whole surface 

 densely covered with minute flattered granules, so as to appear as 

 if covered with scales of the same colour as the derm.
