One example, from New Zealand. Obtained from the late Rev. Hamlet 



Clark's collection. 



Hypharpax antarcticus. 



Harpalus antarcticus, Castelnau, I. c, p. 193. 



Christchurch (Mr. Fereday). 



Scarcely belongs to Hypharpax, the hind tibia of the male not being 

 arcuated j in facies and in the long fine bristles on the inner side of the tibia, 

 with a row of shorter spines on the outer side, it resembles that genus. Eour 

 joints of the four anterior tarsi of the male are dilated, and smooth, brush-like 

 beneath.

Hypharpax austrcdasice. 



Harpalus australasice, Dej. Sp. G£n. iv., p. 380. 



Hypharpax australis. 



Harpalus australis, Dej. I. c, p. 385. 



Both these species are found in New Zealand, according to Redtenbacher. 

 Although only the female in each case was described by Dejean, I think 

 they belong to the genus Hypharpax. 



Subfamily Haepalin^e. 



Euthenarus, nov. gen. 



Gen. Tachy cello similis. Palpi robusti, glabri ; articulo terminali fusiform i, 

 versus apicem attenuate, apice leviter truncate. Antennce robustae ; articulo 

 undecimo multo longiore, crasso. Mentum parvum, emarginatione semicircular], 

 dente mediano prominulo acute. Ligula cornea, oblonga, apice libera bisetosa ; 

 paraglossis ipsa duplo latioribus et multo longioribus, apice late rotunclatis. 



M. Tarsi quatuor anteriores articulis quatuor valde dilatatis : primo 

 triangulari ; secundo ad quartum brevissimis et latissimis ; quarto bilobo ; 

 omnibus laciniis argenteis longissimis vestitis. 



The insects on which this distinct new genus is founded resemble the 

 Brady celli and small Stenolophi of the northern hemisphere, but are widely 

 different in the clothing of the four dilated palms of the male. This is unlike 

 either the squama? arranged in pairs of the true Harpalidaa, or the even brush 

 of short vertical hairs of the Aaisodactylinm, but consists of a few very long 

 linear hair-scales set obliquely on the broad palms and forming a broad fringe 

 to the feet. The paraglossae also differ from those of the Harpali in being 

 very broad, not tapering to the apex, but broadly rounded. The fron(al 

 foveae of the head form short striae curving to the inner margin of the eye. 



The thorax is quadrate. The elytra are obtuse at the apex, with a strong 

 sinuation ; the scutellar striole is rudimentary between the first and second 

 striae ; the third interstice has one puncture. The males have a hairy fovea in 

 the middle of the first ventral segment, like the Tachycelli.
