Colydiidte of Xeio Zealand. 1 9 



sides of the thorax considerably deeper, and the setae of the 

 under surface nuidi fiHer. 1 he surface of the thorax and 

 elytra is very similar in the two species (the green nodules of 

 T. i'iri(/i'/)icfu,<i being, I judge, not constant in colour) ; the 

 surface of the thorax is very uneven, but still without distinct 

 nodules ; the elytra bear numerous nodules, which, however, 

 are not very distinct, and their colour is a ])atchwork of sober 

 green and grey, with a little black intermixed. 



Three individuals sent from Tairua by Captain T. Broun. 



Ulonotus asper, n. sp. 



U. picoo-forrupincus, marginibus dilutioribu.s, antennis pedibusque 

 rutis ; oblonj^s, subdepressus ; prothoracis lateribus trilobatis, 

 lobis duobus postcrioribus angustis, et bene separatis ; elytria 

 crebre asperatis, ante apicem tuberculis nonnullis sat elevatis. 

 Long. Corp. 3} m. m. 



Antennae, including the club, red. Thorax transversely 

 convex, with the surface rough, and showing some indistinct 

 depressions ; the front angles acute and prominent ; at the sides 

 in the middle is a broad and deep indentation, and in front of 

 the hind angles there is a second rather smaller indentation ; 

 the part separating these two indentations is narrow ; and the 

 third or posterior lateral lobe is, though very prominent, very 

 narrow. The elytra are pitchy in colour, with the base and 

 the margins pitchy ; their surface is very dull, and is densely 

 covered with very rough granules, and a little before the apex 

 there are three or four not very distinct tubercles on each ; the 

 lateral margin is finely and densely serrated. The legs are 

 entirely red ; and the under surface is nearly destitute of any 

 pubescence or scales. 



Taiinia ; a single individual sent by Captain Broun. 



This species in its form resembles Taiyhiomimus indentatus, 

 WoU. ; but it cannot be associated with that species, on account 

 of the minute basal joints of the tarsi. It much resembles a 

 small Endop/dwus spinosulus ; and, as in that species, the sur- 

 face on its protected parts is covered ^\ ith a peculiar pale 

 exudation. 



Coxelus dubius, n. sp. 



C. oblongus, angustulus, parallelus, piceus, antennis pedibusque rufis, 

 supra dense breviterque hispidulus, subvaricgatus, subtus breviter 

 griseo-setosus ; tibiis extus hispidulis. Long. corp. 2^ m. m. 



Antennae short, red, 11-jointed, the basal joint scarcely 

 visible from above ; second a good deal larger than the fol- 

 lowing ones ; third small, but distinctly Ioniser than the fol- 

 lowing joints, the fourth to eighth being small, ninth small but
