1432 COLEOPTEBA 



Maketu, Hunua Range. One individual only, which I described 

 under the name Euplectus zenarthrus. Since then I have received 

 two examples from Mr. Munro. Their examination satisfied me 

 that the species would be better separated from Euplectus. 



Group-SCYDM^NID^. 



Phaganophana (Gen., p. 146). 



2485. P. rilSSata, n.s. Bed, basal half of elytra fulvous, 

 tarsi yellow ; pubescence yellowish, on the head and thorax rather 

 rough, on the elytra elongate and erect. 



Head much rounded behind ; the frontal portion, about two-thirds 

 of the length, broadly concave. Eyes small, prominent. Antenna 

 with pale, long, outstanding hairs; second joint as long as the 

 visible part of the first ; 3-5 about equal, a little longer than broad ; 

 sixth quadrate, smaller than the contiguous ones ; seventh like the 

 fifth ; 8-10 broader than the preceding ones, transverse or sub- 

 quadrate ; eleventh large, ovate. Thorax longer than broad, a good 

 deal narrowed behind, with two well-marked foveae near the base, 

 at the middle, and a minute one, as well as a carina, near each side. 

 Elytra oviform, with distinct intrahumoral impressions, and a slight 

 sutural depression near the base. Femora clavate towards the 

 apex. Tibia (anterior) bent, densely pubescent along the inner 

 face. 



Underside reddish, with distinct yellow pubescence. Prosternum 

 depressed, densely sculptured, and pubescent in front of the coxae. 

 Mesosternum with a large depression near each side, in front, its 

 process sharply elevated and reaching the middle of the coxae. 

 Meta sternum convex. 



Very much like P. setosa, but the head, antennae, and sternum 

 are different ; the fulvous portion of the elytra is sharply limited. 



Length, 1 ; breadth, f line. 



Maketu, Hunua Range. Two. 



2486. P. monilifer, n - s - Elongate-oval, shining, rufous, legs 

 and antennae reddish, tarsi and palpi yellow ; pubescence pale-yellow. 



Head vertical in front, rounded behind, with coarse outstanding 

 hairs near the sides behind. Eyes moderate. Antenna elongate, 

 longer than the head and thorax, second joint as long as the ex- 

 posed part of the first, neither very thick ; third, fourth, and sixth 

 nearly equal, distinctly longer than broad ; fifth rather larger than 

 the contiguous ones ; seventh slightly shorter than fifth ; eighth and 

 ninth nearly equal, bead-like, but narrowed apically, and with short, 

 slender apical stalks ; eleventh largest, oblong-oval. Thorax but 

 little longer than broad, rounded near the front, narrowed behind ; 

 with two median foveae in front of the base, the sides transversely 

 impressed rather than foveate near the hind angles; it is clothed 

 with moderately-coarse hairs. Elytra oval, widest at the middle, 

 with two fovea-like basal depressions. Front tibia a little curved
