Tyrogetns optandus^ sp. n. 



Red, tarsi and palpi yellow ; sparingly clothed Avith short, 

 depressed, yellow set*. 



Head oval, not distinctly punctate, with a small fovea near 

 each eye. Thorax longer than broad, moderately convex, 

 more narrowed in front than it is behind, its sides slightly 

 rounded, its middle part but little broader than the head ; its 

 surface is without distinct sculpture of any kind. Elytra 

 hardly longer than broad, gradually yet considerably narrowed 

 towards the base, which does not exceed the thorax in width ; 

 each elytron has a rather broad sutural stria and a less 

 distinct discoidal one ; the apex is densely fringed with yellow 

 hairs. Hind body longer than the wing-cases, quite as broad, 

 its three basal segments marginate ; the first is horizontal 

 and about as long as the other deflexed segments. Legs 

 elongate, slender, clothed like the body ; femora not clavate ; 

 tibiae straight and simple. 



Antennce elongate, sparsely pubescent, first joint nearly 

 twice the length of the second, rather stouter, both cylindric ; 

 joints 3 to 7 differ but little, each is longer than broad ; 

 eighth and ninth nearly quadrate, tenth nearly as long as 

 it is broad, distinctly broader than the preceding ones, eleventh 

 large, rather broader than the tenth, oblong-oval. 



The channel between the antennal tubercles is very narrow 

 and scarcely reaches the middle of the head.

Mount Pirongia. One individual only, a female, I think. 



I very much regret that I have but one mounted specimen ; 

 the structure of the underside therefore cannot be studied at 

 present. 



Euglyptus costifer, sp. n. 



SuJwpoque, chestnut-red ; tarsi and palpi yellow ; clothed 

 with small, depressed, yellow, scale-like setse, and also with 

 some slender hairs. 



Head punctate, not as large as the thorax ; vertex con- 

 vex, the depression behind the antennal tubercles smooth and 

 shining. Thorax rather longer than broad, more narrowed 

 in front than it is behind, widest and obtusely prominent 

 before the middle ; its surface distinctly punctate, in front 

 nearly smooth ; along the middle there is a broad groove ; 

 on each side, but not reaching the apex, there is an elongate 

 foveiform impression ; the transverse impression near the base 

 is indistinct. Elytra longer than broad, a little narrowed
