NEW ZEALAND CARABID/#. 221 
depressed, wholly striate. Elytva oblong-oval, a little wider than 
thorax at the middle, moderately sinuated apically ; punctate- 
striate, the punctures minute, interstices slightly elevated, the 
third with four, the seventh with six setiferous punctures, 
eighth smooth, the lateral sculpture irregular. Underside glossy, 
pitch black, and impunctate. Antennz broken, three basal articu- 
lations nude. Legs stout, tibial spurs rather short. When 
examined with the unaided eye, the transverse striole on the 
thorax are quite visible, whereas the thorax of each of the 
previously published species would exhibit an almost smooth 
surface ; the elytral rim forms an uninterrupted curve from the 
posterior sinuation to the base, but all the other species have 
more or less prominent (dentate) humeral angles ; this latter 
character is therefore distinctive. 
Male ; length, 10; breadth, 3% lines. 
My specimen was found at Hick’s Bay, East Coast, by Mr. 
P. Stewart-Sandager. 
1333. Lvichosternus fulton, n.sp.—Oblong, slightly convex, shining, 
black, all the elytra and the sides and base of the thorax tinged 
with green, legs and antenne piceous, tarsi pitchy-red. Head 
moderately broad, a little inflated behind the prominent eyes, 
with the usual frontal impressions. Pyvothovax moderately trans- 
versal, broadest just before the middle, rounded laterally, nar- 
rowed and slightly sinuated towards the base, posterior angles 
rectangular but little prominent ; apex slightly but widely in- 
curved, the base emarginated medially; disc slightly convex, 
feebly lineated across, dorsal groove well marked and not abbre- 
viated, basal fossze deep, united by a curved impression, mar- 
ginal channels impunctate, a distinct puncture near each hind 
angle, some faint longitudinal lines in front and behind. Scufellum 
broadly striated at base. FElytva oblong-oval, humeral angles 
prominent, sides but little rounded, strongly sinuated apically ; 
a little convex, punctate-striate, the punctures small and not 
approximated, interstices slightly elevated, just perceptibly im- 
pressed with short transverse lines, the third with three, the 
seventh with five or six large punctures. Legs robust, femora 
clavate but not dentate. Underside glossy black, impunctate. 
Distinguished from No. 72 and its immediate allies in being 
larger, flatter, broader, and less narrowed medially and posteriorly; 
the head larger, thorax much less incurved apically, not ciliated 
at the base, a character which obtains in Nos. 65, 68, 71, 73, and 
T, humeralis; the elytra much less oviform, more strongly and 
abruptly sinuated apically, and with flatter intervals between the 
striae. 
Male; lengthg; breadth 3% lines. 
Named in honour of its discoverer, S. W. Fulton, Esq., 
Outram, Otago. 
1334. Tvichosternus enysi,n.sp.—Black, nowhere zeneous, shining, 
legsand antennze piceous. Head large, smooth, its frontal impres- 
sions rather shallow, a little dilated round the eyes, these latter 
prominent. Pvrothovax sub-quadrate, rather deeply incurved in
