Capt. T. Broun on new 



XL. — Descriptions of new Coleoptera from New 

 Zealand. Bj Captain Thos. Begun . 



Since the publication of my last paper in the Ann. & Mag. 

 Nat. Hist, for 1893 (vol. xii.) the researches of several gentle- 

 men, whose names appear in the following pages, have enabled 

 me to add nine new genera and ninety-five species to the list. 

 The species now known to exist amount in round numbers to 

 two thousand seven hundred and sixty. 



The numbers (" No. 2324," for instance) refer to species 

 described in the ' Manual of New Zealand Coleoptera.'
