Batrs.—On New Genera and Species of Heteromera. 291 
slightly roughened or rugulose, indistinctly (except at apex) granulose, 
moderately punctured, obscurely foveate-punctured between the costz (when 
viewed obliquely) ; costae very feeble ; expanded lateral margins wide (and 
concave) at the base, gradually narrowed behind ; underside, ete., as in C. 
humeralis. 
Length 5} lines; width of elytra across the middle 23 lines. 
Hab. New Zealand. One example. 
The punctuation on the head and on the sides of the prothorax is more 
crowded, and the insterstices more closely and distinctly punctulate than in 
C. humeralis; the sides of the thorax are distinctly incurved at the hind 
angles; the punctuation on the elytra is less defined; and the form is 
elongate-oval. . 
Cilibe brevipennis n. sp. 
Smaller, and of a more briefly oval form, than any other species in the 
genus. Black, usually most nitid on the prothorax, the elytra frequently 
of an obscure purplish-brown hue; sometimes the entire upper surface is 
of a decided reddish-brown colour. Head and prothorax finely and closely 
punctured, the punctuation very dense (and frequently finely reticulately 
rugose) on the former and on the sides of the latter ; the interstices more 
or less distinctly minutely punctulate ; prothorax transverse, apex deeply 
emarginate ; front angles prominent, more or less acute, usually directed 
forwards, sometimes slightly convergent; sides anteriorly very gradually 
narrowed from the middle (sometimes from behind the middle), posteriorly 
subparallel, or slightly incurved (in one example they are distinctly ex- 
curved at the hind angles, which are consequently somewhat outwardly 
directed), hind angles, more or less produced, acute, directed backwards ; 
lateral margins moderately expanded, more ar less concave ; three more or 
less distinct impressions at the base, and sometimes two indistinct foveate 
impressions on the middle, at each side of the median line; elytra short, 
moderately convex, base feebly sinuous ; humeral angle not distinctly pro- 
minent as in C. humeralis and thoracica; sides sub-parallel or slightly 
rounded, not sinuous behind the humeral angle ; expanded lateral margins 
rather broad at the base, narrowed behind, more or less distinctly extending 
to the apex, strongly concave at the base (especially within the humeral 
angle) asin C. humeralis ; punctuation, ete., almost as in C. thoracica, but 
(especially at the sides and apex) the surface is slightly more roughened, 
more distinctly granulose, and the punctuation a little finer and closer : 
underside, ete., as in C. humeralis. 
Length 44-54 lines; width of elytra 24-23 lines. 
Hab. New Zealand. Five examples.
