Genera and Species of New Zealand Coleoptera. 71 
the punctures much closer behind... Epistome pallid. Thorax 
a little longer than broad, rather wider just before the middle 
than it is elsewhere, suboviform; without depressions, its 
punctuation moderately coarse, quite dense near the sides; on 
the disk there are slight irregular smooth spaces. Scutellum 
closely but finely sculptured. lytra elongate, parallel- 
sided, coarsely, moderately closely, and somewhat rugosely 
punctured. Underside nigrescent. 
fT. telephorotdes has the thorax “ distinctly wider than 
long”; in this species the reverse obtains. There are differ- 
ences in coloration, and the eyes are rather larger and more 
prominent. The second joint of the antenne is barely more 
than half the length of the third; this latter is only about 
one third shorter than the fourth. 
Length 22, breadth 3 line. 
Tarukenga, near Rotorua. 
One example in my own collection, found about eight 
years ago. 
Exocalopus antennalis, sp. n. 
Elongate, subdepressed ; head and thorax glossy black ; 
elytra dark violaceous, sparingly clothed with fine, erect, 
intuscate hairs; legs and antennze fuscous. 
Head, including the prominent eyes, broader than the 
thorax, obliquely narrowed behind; there is an almost 
diamond-shaped depression on the vertex, with slightly 
raised smooth borders extending towards the antenne; the 
rest of its surface is distinctly and rather closely punctured. 
Thorax transverse, strongly rounded laterally ; its whole 
surface is distinctly but not closely punctate and there is an 
uregularly formed fovea-like impression at each side. Scu- 
tellum punctate. lytra elongate-oblong, parallel-sided, 
moderately coarsely, closely, and almost rugosely punctured. 
Antenne almost as long as the body, with very short 
pubescence; basal joint pyriform, second and third casta- 
neous, transverse, and, conjointly, shorter than first ; joints 
4-10 slender and equally elongate, each of these has a filiform 
appendage quite twice the length of the joint itself; the 
eleventh is about double the length of the preceding one. 
Female.—The antenne attain the middle femora or just 
beyond them, their second joint is bead-like; the third, 
though distinctly longer than the preceding, is obviously 
shorter than the following one; joints 4-10 are elongate and 
moderately serrate, the eleventh elongate-oval. ‘l'his sex is 
rather larger than the male; the thorax and head are more 
coarsely punctured and the legs are paler.
