defined, but widening much at the apex ; there is no puncture 

 on the third interstice, and there is a short scutellar striole 

 between the first and second stride. The margins of the ventral 

 segments are more or less fulvous. 



One example, from New Zealand. Obtained from the late 

 Rev. Hamlet Clark's collection. 



Hypharpax antarcticus. 

 Harpalus antarcticus^ Castebiau, /. c. p. 193. 



Christchurch [Mr. Fereday). 



Scarcely belongs to Hypliarpax^ the hind tibise of the male 

 not being arcuated ; in facies and in the long fine bristles on 

 the innerside of the tibiifi, with a row of shorter spines on the 

 outer side, it resembles that genus. Four joints of the four 

 anterior tarsi of the male are dilated, and smooth, brush-like, 

 beneath. 



Hypliarpax australasicB. 



Harpalus australasics, Dej. Sp. Gen. iv. p. 386. 



Hypharpax australis. 



Harpalus australis, Dej. /. c, p. 385. 



Both these species are found in New Zealand, according to 

 Redtenbacher. 



Although only the female in each case was described by 

 Dejean, I think they belong to the genus Hypjharpax. 



Subfamily Harfazin^. 

 EuTHENARUS, nov. gen. 



Gen. Tachycelh similis. Palpi robusti, glabri ; articulo terminali 

 fusiformi, versus apicem attenuato, apice leviter truncato. 

 Antennce robustae ; articulo undecimo multo lougiore, crasso. 

 Mentum parvum, emarginatioue semicirculari, dente mediano pro- 

 miniilo acuto. Ligula cornea, oblonga, apice libera bisetosa; para- 

 glossis ipsa duple latioribus et multo longioribus, aj)ice late 

 rotundatis. 

 (J . Tarsi quatuor anteriores articulis quatuor valde dilatatis ; primo 

 triangulari ; secundo ad quartum brevissimis et latissimis ; quarto 

 bilobo ; omnibus laciniis argentcis longissimis vestitis. 



. The insects on which this distinct new genus is founded 

 resemble the Bradycelli and small Stenolophi of the northern 

 hemisphere, but are widely different in the clothing of the 

 four dilated palms of the male. This is unlike either the 

 squama? arranged in pairs of the true Harpalidse, or the even 

 brush of short vertical hairs of the Anisodactylime^ but con-
