of being broad and subdepressed, as in A. deplanatns and 

 A. otagoensis, arc convex and very elongate. In A, .vantlio- 

 mclus the sides of tlie thorax are deeply sinuate-angustato 

 behind, the elytra are less elongate, less narrowed basally, 

 and have more sharply impressed stria?. The apical sinu- 

 osities, too, are different; in A. intermedins the narrowed 

 ])ortion is longer and more oblique, and the sutural region is 

 elevated posteriorly. 



Thi.'^, as well as the preceding and following species, are 

 much alike in coloration, so that all three form a ycHow- 

 legged homogeneous series that may thus be separated fiom 

 the older species without niucli trouble.

Manawatu Flats, 9 miles below the Gorge. 



Mr. Frank Park discovered the two specimens. 



Anchomeniis iniegratus, sp. n. 



Suhdepi'essed, shining, nigrescent; lateral margins, scu- 

 tellum, and labrum rufeseent ; legs flavous ; tarsi and 

 antennae fulvescent, mandibles red. 



Head oviform, labrum incurved. Thorax subcordate, of 

 equal length and breadth, widest before the middle, evidently 

 rounded there, distinctly sinuously narrowed behind, poste- 

 rior angles rectangular : the surface almost smooth, its 

 median furrow rather fine and not extending beyond the frontal 

 impression ; basal fossaj deep and elongate, but not distended 

 more than halfway towards the middle of the base ; a 

 shallow curvate impression proceeds from each towards the 

 front. FJytra oblong-oval, nearly twice the width of the 

 thorax, widest behind the middle, moderately sinuated pos- 

 teriorly, apices broadly rounded so as to appear subtruucate ; 

 obviously striate, the stri^ finely and indistinctly punctured ; 

 interstices plane, the third with two, or three, punctures. 



Intermediate between A. otagoensis and A. helinsi, dis- 

 tinguished from the former by the more sinuated sides of the 

 thorax, the more prominent hind angles, and larger basal 

 fovea? ; from the latter by the broader and more depressed 

 elytra and obtuse apices. From both of these species it is 

 also differentiated by the colour of the limbs and feeble 

 grooving of the tarsi.
