OF NEW ZEALAND. 1129 



fuseis, antennis pedibusque testaceis ; elytris subobsolete striatis, 

 striis irregulariter subinterruptis. 



Long., 17mm. 



Antenna rather long, reaching back a good deal behind the 

 thorax, third joint elongate, fully as long as the fourth. Eyes of 

 moderate size. Thorax elongate, the sides a little rounded andHreiy 

 slightly contracted before the hind angles, densely and finely punc- 

 tate, canaliculate. Elytra slightly dilated from the shoulders to 

 beyond the middle, thence much narrowed to the apex, so as to be 

 subacurninate, densely and finely punctulate, and with fine striae, 

 which are irregularly interrupted so as to give somewhat the appear- 

 ance of a seriate punctuation. Legs yellow, stout ; tarsi elongate, 

 stout. 



This species is readily identified by its peculiar form and the 

 conspicuous pubescence, as well as by the peculiar striation of the 

 wing-cases ; it is also peculiar structurally, the saltatorial mucro of 

 the prosternal process being only a little prolonged beyond the lower 

 face of the process, and only distinguished from the latter by this 

 possessing an extremely slight tuberculation at its termination. The 

 borders of the mesosternal cavity are not elevated, and the cavity 

 is but little distant from the nietasternum ; the femoral portion of 

 the coxal lamina is very slender, and the suture or chink between 

 the labrum and clypeus is deep. 



Grey mouth . Helms . 



2007. C. mundus, n.s. (Sharp; Trans. Roy. Dub. Soc., 1886, 

 p. 401.) Elongatus, parallelus, rufescens, elytris brunescentibus, 

 antennis pedibusque testaceis ; thorace longiore, crebrius fortiter 

 punctate, lateribus rectis ; elytris subtiliter striatis, densius sub- 

 tiliusque punctulatis et pubescentibus. 



Long., 14mm. 



Antenna reaching back a good deal beyond the thorax, third 

 joint scarcely so long as the fourth, but fully twice as long as the 

 short second joint. Thorax shining, of a rather bright reddish hue, 

 evidently longer than broad, the sides straight, rather coarsely and 

 regularly punctate, canaliculate at the base only. Elytra slender, 

 very closely and finely punctate, and very minutely pubescent, finely 

 striate. Trochanteral portion of coxal lamina scarcely distinct from 

 the femoral. 



New Zealand. Candeze. This should be placed near C. myops 

 and C. strangulatus. I am indebted to M. Candeze for the only 

 example I have seen ; he obtained it, I believe, from Castelnau's 

 collection. 



2008. C. canaliculatUS, n.s. Elongate, moderately narrow, a 

 little nitid, rufo-fuscous, basal joint of antennas fulvescent ; covered 

 with conspicuous yellowish hairs. 



Head very broadly impressed, moderately closely and strongly 

 punctate. Thorax obviously longer than broad, its sides nearly 

 straight, a little widened towards the posterior angles, which are
