tarst with a minute basal joint, second and third about equal, 
terminated by one claw. 
An extraordinary insect (No. 230) is the type, which becomes 
Gastrobothrus abdominalis, and should precede Aryaxis. The 
antennal tubercles are separate, and there is a large fovea near 
each eye. 
NoTe.—Parmipalpus, p. 662. Structure of maxillary palpi 
should be read “Ist joint minute ; 2nd longest, slightly but 
widely incurved in front, almost triangularly dilated medially 
behind, and there setigerous; 4th about as large as the head, 
nearly round, somewhat truncated outwardly, with a small 
round notch near the back part of its outer margin; the 3rd is 
longer than broad, and dilated apically.” 
No. 245 should be placed near Yyrus mutandus, though the 
palpi are not quite of the orthodox pattern. 
Eupines, King—Body rather short, convex. Head obsoletely 
bi-foveolate. Prothovax smooth, not at all foveolate. Flytra 
without dorsal strie. Aztenne to-jointed, robust, distant at 
base, almost bi-clavate. Maxillary pal/gz quadri-articulate, ter- 
minal joint fusiform. Basal joint of the posterior tarsi short, the 
two last much elongated,with one claw. 
The above constitute the essential characteristics of Mr. 
King’s genus, which differs from 4ryaxis in the form of the ter- 
minal joints of the antennee. 
1347. Eupines rudicorne,n sp.—Convex, shining, sanguine- 
ous, elytra and legs dilute in colour. 
Head sub-quadrate, quadrifoveolate. Pvrothorax rounded 
laterally, narrowed posteriorly, unimpressed. /ytra consider- 
ably longer and broader than thorax, truncated apically, each 
elytron with a fine sutural stria, otherwise unmarked. Hind-body 
convex, deflexed, sparsely pubescent, not perceptibly punctured. 
Antenne pubescent ; basal joint larger than the immediately fol- 
lowing ones; 2nd stouter than 3rd ; joints 3-6 about equal ; 7th 
much broader than the preceding one; 8th nearly twice the 
breadth of the 6th, very short, angulated inwardly ; 9th excess- 
ively large, produced outwardly, narrowed towards the extremity ; 
10th about as large as oth, elongate-oblong. 77zdz@ flexuose. 
The structure of the antennee is unusual ; the first eight arti- 
culations form the stalk, the two terminal are, individually, nearly 
as long as the preceding eight conjointly, at least twice as broad, 
hispid, and coarsely sculptured, and, though furcate, appear cap- 
able of converging so as to form a massive oblong club ; the pen- 
ultimate terminates in an acute fulvous point, whilst the 1oth 
appears as if furnished with an appendage or minute apical 
joint. 
Male, length 34 ; breadth, % line. 
Described from a single individual communicated by Mr. P. 
Stewart-Sandager, of Wellington. 
NOTE-—No. 232 must be associated with the above so as to 
become Ezines clavatus. Its description appears on p. 126, '
