Differs in breadth, probably according to the ^sex. Capt. 

 Broun remarks that it has a pinkish tint when alive.

Hah. Otago. 



When deprived of the scales, the elytra are seen to be 

 divided into irregular areas by short ridges rising between the 

 rows of punctures. 



Aldonus celator.

 fere aequahbus ; prothorace apice angusto, utrinque antice rotun-

Hob. Tairua. 



A much narrower insect than A. hylobioides, covered, espe- 

 cially on the legs, with long, erect, spatulate scales, not seti-

 behind the anterior coxse, and is not bounded by the meso- 

 sternum. 



Oreda hrevis. 



0. breviter subcylindrica, fusca griseo-varia ; rostro brevi crasso ; 

 antennis crassiusculis ; funiculo articulis duobus basalibus fere 

 aequahbus, quinque sequentibus valde transversis ; clava oblongo-
