Genera and Species of New Zealand Coleoptera. 73 
Cecyropa striata, sp. n. 
Convex, opaque, covered with minute, dull, dark grey or 
almost infuseate squamosity, the sides of thorax and hind 
body with rather short erect setee; the elytral interstices bear 
short, almost brassy sete ; legs and antenne rufescent. 
Rostrum sparsely squamose, nearly bare in front, with a 
well-marked linear impression nearly reaching the back part 
of the head. yes obliquely oval. Scape but little thick- 
ened apically, with a few grey squame and slender sete. 
Funiculus finely setose, second joint about as long as the 
first, but only about half as thick, seventh broader than the 
preceding one; club short, oval, finely pubescent. Thorax 
one fourth shorter than broad, its sides strongly rounded, the 
apex rather narrower than the base, without evident sculp- 
ture, but probably with punctures underneath the scales. 
Elytra broader than thorax at the base, shoulders oblique; 
the three punctated strie near the suture on each are fairly 
well marked throughout; the external ones almost assume 
the form of rather narrow serial punctures. 
This can be best compared with the eastern C. setigera 
(no. 1617); in that species, however, joints 3-7 of the funi- 
culus are more transverse and moniliform, the thorax is more 
gradually narrowed anteriorly and continues broad to within 
a short distance of the base, the elytral strise are less distinct 
and their punctures are still finer, the groove on the rostrum 
is quite abbreviate, and the eyes are less convex. In 
C. striata, moreover, the ocular lobes, though rather feeble, 
are certainly more apparent than they are in C. setigera. 
Length (rostr. incl.) 24, breadth % line. 
Westport. 
This is another of Mr. J. J. Walker’s captures during a 
short stay in that neighbourhood. I have seen one individual 
only. 
Brachyolus albescens, sp. n. 
Convex, subovate, completely covered with white and 
brassy squame; these occupy irregular, somewhat trans- 
verse areas, but do not form spots; antenne and tarsi ferru- 
ginous. 
Rostrum shorter than thorax, dark red and pilose in front, 
squamose behind. Scrobes open above, curvate at the 
sides, with a distinct squamose space between them and the 
eyes. Scape very gradually thickened, clothed with scales 
and short curled sete. Huniculus evidently longer than 
scape, red, with fine grey sete; basal two joints about equal 
in length, 3-7 almost moniliform. Club oval, infuscate.
