146 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera and 



This pretty little speeies is at once distinguished by the 

 form of its elytra. 



Eugnomus fucosus. 



E. fusco-castaneus, supra setulis uumerosis instructus, pedibus rufo- 

 testaceis ; rostro sat valido, capite sesquilongiore, apice riifo ; 

 clava antennarum ampliato-ovata ; funiculo articulo basali am- 

 pliato, longiusculo, secundo multo breviore ; prothorace subtrans- 

 verso ; scutello elongate, albo ; elytris striato-punctatis, inter- 

 stitiis subplanatis, supra fere obsolete albo-maculatis. Long. 

 llin. 



Hah. Tairua. 



A smaller species than E. fervidus [ante, vol. xviii. p. 62), 

 with a longer head and proportionally shorter and stouter 

 rostrum. In some specimens there is a reddish spot on each 

 shoulder, 



Pachyura metallica. 



P. oblonga, aureo- ( (J ) vel purpureo-cuprea ( $ ) ; antennis, tibiis 

 tarsisque brunneo-testaceis, illis basi rostri insertis ; capite pro- 

 thoraceque fortiter punctatis; scutello majuscule ; elytris trans- 

 versim punctatis, interstitiis (transversis) elevatis ; corpore infra 

 sparse albo-piloso ; metasterno in medio longitudinaliter canali- 

 culato. Long. 2 5 liu. c?, 4 lin. $ . 



Hab. Christchurch. 



Except the South; American Homalocerus, the Belinse (to 

 which this genus belongs) are a purely Australian group ; this 

 species, however, is not to be approximated to any of its con- 

 geners, although a most orthodox Pachyura. Perhaps the 

 difference in size and coloration of the two sexes is not always 

 so well marked as in my specimens. 



Acalles impexus. 



A. ovatus, fuscus, griseo-squamosus, squamuHs erectis adspersus ; 

 rostro modice elongate ; antennis subferrugineis, pone medium 

 rostri insertis ; funiculo articulis duobus basalibus longitudine 

 sequalibus ; prothorace latitudine longitudini sequali, antice cou- 

 stricto, apice bidentato, in medio bicalloso ; scutello inconspicuo ; 

 elytris cordatis, cenvexis, rude punctatis, interstitiis secundo bi-, 

 tertio juxta basin unicalloso, lateribus minus callosis ; pedibus 

 rude squamosis. Long. 1| lin. 



Hab. Canterbury. 



Size and shape of A. intutus, but elytra more cordiform, 

 and with the prothorax very irregular.
