NEW ZEALAND CARABID/:. 223 
Scutellum striate. Elytva elongate-oblong, their sides but little 
curved, humeral angles scarcely protuberant, sinuated behind ; 
striate, having small punctures in the grooves; the sutural, 
third, fifth, seventh, and eighth interstices simple to beyond the 
middle, from thence irregular, the others more or less contracted 
and interrupted at uncertain intervals, all finely lineated across ; 
the seventh striz bear some punctiform impressions, and the 
margins several larger ones. Legs moderate, femora robust but 
not dentate. Underside pitchy-black, flanks of the sternum more 
or less rugee and punctate. 
Allied to Nos. 74 and 83, as well as to H. cribrale ; yet readily 
enough identified by the obtuse hind angles of the thorax and 
the chain-like sculpture of the alternate interstices of the elytra. 
Length, 8 ; breadth, 2% lines. 
Described from a male found by S. W. Fulton, Esq., of 
Outram, Otago. 
1337. Cevabilia punctigera, n. sp.—Body elongate-oblong, sub-de- 
pressed, moderately shining, pitchy black, trophiand antenne infus- 
cate, legs rufo-piceous, tarsirufescent. Head short and broad, bi-sul- 
cate ; labrum transverse, widely, but not at all dee ply hollowed; 
eyes convex, prominent. Pvothovax a little longer than broad, 
apex nearly truncate, base considerably emarginated, sides 
obtusely rounded, gradually incurved posteriorly, hind angles 
nearly rectangular but not protruding, lateral margins entire; 
disc almost plane, with a distinct median groove, and two elon- 
gate, sulciform, basal foveze situated midway between the middle 
and sides. Scutellum triangular,smooth. Elytva elongate-oblong, 
slightly rounded laterally, feebly sinuated apically ; striate, inter- 
stices flat, third tri-punctate ; the strize are obsoletely punctured, 
and the intermediate pairs unite near theapices. Antenne longer 
than head and thorax conjointly, their three basal articulations 
destitute of pubescence. Underside black, sparingly punctured. 
_ The mentum, as described by Count de Castelnau, is toothless ; 
the mandibles are short and robust, but greatly curved and acute 
at the extremity ; the terminal joint of the maxillary palpi is 
rather longer than the penultimate and slightly obtuse at the 
apex ; the front tavsi have three dilated joints, triangular, but 
emarginate at the apex, and spongy underneath as well as hispid. 
Male ; length, 5% ; breadth, 2 lines, 
I have seen one only, much mutilated, labelled by Professor 
Hutton, “ Invercargill.” 
1338.C.vuficorne, n.sp.—Oblong,somewhat convex, glossy, pitchy-

broad ; frontal depressions broad, shallow, and finely lineated ; la- 
brum much reduced, widely incurved ; mandibles long and stout, 
arcuated apically ; eyes moderate, not very prominent. Pvothovax 
sub-quadrate, baseand apex nearly entire; sides very little rounded, 
gradually narrowed till near the posterior angles, where they are 
straight, or nearly so, the angles rectangular but not projecting ; 
disc nearly plane, its dorsal groove extending from the hind 
margin to near the apex, basal foveze elongate, quite sulciform.
