Tarukenga, near Rotorua. A single individual, taken off 

 foliage. 



Calodera sericophora^ sp. n. 



Elongate^ moderately nitid ; elytra red, head and thorax 

 fusco-rufous, hind body variegated castaneous, legs and 

 antennse pale reddish, tarsi and palpi yellow ; clothed with 

 slender, decumbent, pale yellow, silky pubescence, the abdo- 

 men with coarser yellow hairs. 



Head subovate, nearly the length of the thorax ; its punc- 

 tuation very fine, not at all close, and rather shallow. Eifes 

 prominent. Antennae rather short, gradually incrassate ; 

 second joint nearly as stout and elongate as the first, third a 

 little longer than broad, fourth subquadrate, fifth sliorter than 

 fourth, sixth to tenth transverse, eleventh large. Thorax 

 but little longer than it is broad, slightly and gradually- 

 narrowed behind, much rounded and narrowed in front, the 

 base slightly curvate ; its surface sculptured like the head, 

 the broad central depression appears shallow and interrupted 

 in the middle, but when looked at from the side it appears 

 continuous. Elytra quadrate, broader than the thorax, 

 parallel-sided, more distinctly and closely punctured than the 

 head. Hind hody elongate. Legs moderately long and 

 slender, finely and rather densely pubescent. 



This is very different from Nos. 171, 172, 173, 174, and 

 175. In No. 1693 (C algophila) the thorax is almost 

 parallel-sided, and its greyish hairs are disposeJ trans- 

 versely ; the elytra are distinctly broader at the base than 

 they are behind ; the head is evidently narrower than it is in 

 C. sericophora.

 ments and the legs chestnut-red ; antennas dull red. 



Head moderately large and broad, distinctly and closely
