Coleoptera from Neio Zealand. 191 



Pedilophorus tibialis^ sp, n. 



Glossy, cupreo-seneous, rufescent ; legs red, antennae 

 obscure red, tarsi testaceous, 



Read distinctly punctured, very closely so near the sides. 

 Thorax very finely and not at all closely punctured. Scu- 

 tellum small, triangular. Elytra finely sculptured, coria- 

 ceous. Front tibice widely dilated and curved externally, the 

 tarsal impressions broad, shallow, and ill-defined, consisting 

 only of a flattening along the front face. Antennce rather 

 short and stout, joints 3 to 5 only moderately slender, third 

 longest, sixth obconical, broader and evidently shorter than 

 the fifth ; 7 to 10 rather compact and broad, eleventh large, 

 nearly the length of the preceding two. 



This, there can be no doubt, is a distinct species. 



Length 1|, breadth quite | line. 



Dyer's Pass, near Christchurch. One, damaged, found by 

 m-. H. Suter. 



Pedilopliorus puncticeps^ sp. n. 



Shining, head ajneo- rufous, thorax and elytra aeneous ; legs 

 red, tarsi, palpi, and antenna paler. 



Head coarsely and rather closely punctured. Thorax 

 distinctly and rather closely, but not as coarsely or closely 

 punctured as the head. Scutellum small, triangular. Elytra 

 coriaceous. Anterior tibice broadly grooved and somewhat 

 curved. Antemice rather slender ; sixth joint short, yet ob- 

 viously longer than broad, the last five enlarged. 



Mr. Pascoe describes the head of Morychus coruscans as 

 being " leviter subconfertim punctato," the scutellum " trans- 

 versim triangulari," and the thorax "subtilissime punctatus; " 

 it is evident therefore that P. puncticeps is quite dissimilar. 



Length 2^, breadth 1^ lines. 



Hunua Eange, Clevedon. My specimen was sent by 

 Mr. George Campbell Munro. 



Pedilophorus picipes, sp. n. 



^neo-piceous, legs and antennae rufo-piceous ; it bears 

 some minute grey hairs. 



Head closely and moderately coarsely punctured near the 

 sides, quite distinctly on the middle. Thorax slightly but 

 obtusely lobatc medially at the base, with rather shallow but 

 quite distinct thougii not close punctures. Scutellum small, 

 triangular. Elytra minutely and irregularly punctured, 

 coriaceous. Antennm with the last six joints gradually
