OF NEW ZEALAND. 1341 



OBS. I have a specimen from Mr. Cavell which does not exactly 

 agree with the description of G. regular is, but which I think repre- 

 sents that species. 



2352. G. FUgOSa, n -s- Subparallel, widest behind, variegated 

 brown, the head and thoracic disc darker, margins testaceous ; the 

 antennae (except the paler basal joint), the front legs, and the tarsi 

 fuscous, the middle and hind tibiae testaceous-brown. 



This species is smaller than G. varians, more parallel and de- 

 pressed, almost entirely without, inequalities of surface; the grey 

 pubescence on the elytra is quite short, not conspicuous, and it is 

 more evenly distributed, the erect hairs are elongate and mostly 

 white ; the punctures on the elytra are coarse but not close, and, 

 when viewed from behind, appear to be separated by transverse 

 rugae, when examined sideways they seem to be arranged in almost 

 regular series ; the sculpture of the thorax is close but shallow, the 

 sides are evenly rounded, without well-marked angles. 



Length, If lines ; breadth, f line. 



Taieri. Another of Mr. S. W. Fulton's discoveries. The speci- 

 men is unique. 



Group-COLYDIID^E. 



NotOUluS (Gen., p. 183). 



2353. N. facetllS, n.s. Oblong, variegate, antennae and tarsi 

 reddish, club slightly infuscate, the body and legs infuscate or red ; 

 clothed with short, sometimes curled, bright fulvous and pallid setae. 



Head raised and prominent at each side in front of the eye. 

 Antenna with the basal joint more than half hidden above, second 

 joint thick, third rather longer than fourth and abruptly narrower 

 than the second, fourth and fifth rather longer than broad, 6-8 

 bead-like, ninth transverse and broader than eighth ; club 

 biarticulate, pubescent. The thorax has four lobes at each side, 

 formed as in No. 1594, the fourth being small and forming the 

 posterior angle ; there are three depressions in front, the external 

 are transverse, the central one is expanded behind but does not 

 reach the base ; there are three near the base, the one in front of 

 the scuteilum is small and triangular, and there is a large one on 

 each side near the middle. Elytra with prolonged and divergent 

 apices ; there is a black, interrupted patch on the dorsum behind the 

 posterior femora, and a transverse one just below the top of the 

 hind declivity ; the suture also is blackish, but there are seven or 

 eight spots of yellowish setae on it ; on each elytron at the base, 

 near the middle, there is an elongate elevation which is curved 

 towards the scuteilum ; in line with this there are four nodosities, 

 two of which are close together on the summit of the posterior de- 

 clivity, the other two are smaller, the hinder one is on, or just in 

 front of, the middle; outside these are three rather larger nodosities, 

 also in a row, the last almost touches the terminal two of the inner 

 series, so that there are three contiguous elevations on each wing-
