Genera and Species of New Zealand Coleoptera. 85 
Head as wide as the front of thorax, closely sculptured, 
with a distinct inter-antennal channel, its pubescence yellow; 
within the emargination of the eye, and on the gena behind 
it, there is some adpressed brassy pubescence. Thorax rather 
broader than long, with an obtuse but distinct tubercle at 
each side behind the middle, the basal region therefore seems 
constricted ; the disk is not flat, it is closely punctured, and 
its clothing is like that of the head. Scutellum small. Hlytra 
parallel-sided to within a short distance of the apices, wider 
than the thorax at the base, with two small obtuse promi- 
nences there, their punctuation appears to be irregular and is 
not easily detected; their surface is rather thickly covered 
with yellowish-grey. decumbent hairs, but on the apical 
portion there are about a dozen bare small reddish spots, and 
between the posterior femora there is a broad fuscous fascia 
which almost forms two sides of a triangle. The legs bear 
upright grey hairs and the thighs are clavate; the tarsi are 
dark brown. Antenne elongate, basal joint stout but not 
clavate, with yellow pubescence; joints 3 and 4 about equally 
long and slender. 
H. fasciatus, No. 1321, though somewhat similar as re- 
gards markings, is a broader and flatter insect, with a more 
transverse thorax, much less prominent lateral tubercles, and 
more acutely rounded elytral apices, and, moreover, it lacks 
the distinctive ocular and genal pubescence of the present 
species. 
Length 12, breadth 3 line.

EUALEMA, gen. nov. 
Antenne elongate, filiform, inserted close to the front part 
of the eyes ; basal joint stout, curvate, second half the length 
of the third. yes large, transverse, thicker below than 
above, but not quite reniform. emora simple. Tibic 
without spines, grooved at the extremity only. Tarsz with 
triangular basal articulations, second rather shorter and more 
slender at the base than the first, third transverse, not at all 
lobate but slightly excavate above, fourth slender and elon- 
gate, the hind tarsi nearly similar. Claws appendiculate or 
thickened at their basal half.
