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

 Clark's collection. 



ITypharpax antarctlcus. 

 Ilarpalus antai'cticm, Castehiau, I. c, p. 193. 



Cbristcliurch (Mr. Fereday). 



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

 arcuated ', 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. Four 

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

 beneath. 



Hypharimx australasice. 

 Ilarpalus australasice, Dej. Sj). Gen. iv., p. 386. 



IlypiJiarpax 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 Harpalinje. 



EuTHENARUS, nov. gen. 



Gen. Tacky cello similis. Paljn robusti, glabri ; articulo terminali fusiform i, 

 versus apicem attenuato, apice leviter truncato. Antennoi robustse ; articulo 

 undecimo multo longiore, crasso. Mentum parvum, emarginatione semicirculari, 

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

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



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 

 Bradycelli and small Stenolop)M of the northern hemisphere, but are widely 

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

 either the .squamre arranged in pairs of the true Harpalida?, or the even brush 

 of short vertical hairs of the Anisodactylmce, 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 paraglossre also diifcr from those of the Ilarpall in being 

 very broad, not tapering to tlic apex, but broadly rounded. The frontal 

 fovcai of the* head form short stria) curving to the inner margin of the eye. 

 The thorax is quadrate. Tlic elytra arc 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 TachyccUi
