Female without protuberances on head or thorax ; those on 
the latter distinguish the male of this species. 
Length, 34-7% ; breadth, nearly 36 line. 
Hab. Wellington. Collector, Mr. P. Stewart-Sandager. 
The antennz of C. undulatus (p. 347), as well as those of all 
the other species, exactly resemble those of the present one; an 
error had been made in computing the small joints, which cannot 
be easily seen without the aid of a microscope. No. 636 is not 
actually nude, there being a few excessively fine pallid hairs on 
the body, the word “ nearly” should, therefore, be placed before 
“nude” in the first line of its description (p. 349). 
1399. Cis picicollis, n.sp.—Cylindric, slightly nitid, clothed with 
short brassy sete, thorax rufo-piceous, elytra reddish-brown, legs 
and antennez pale brown, club darker. 
Head simple. Prothorax rather dull, about as long as broad, 
the lateral margins nearly straight before the middle, but rounded 
towards the base, so that there are no distinct posterior angles ; 
moderately finely and closely punctured, interstices minutely 
sculptured, its clothing finer than that of the hind-body. lytra 
finely and rather closely punctated, almost in rows, obsoletely and 
irregularly lineated, their sete somewhat congregated behind. 
Legs sparsely pubescent. Antenne with a rather short 4th joint 
and broad club. 
Length, 7% line. 
One example. Probably from the vicinity of Whangarei 
Harbour. 
1400. Ois viridiflavus, n.sp.—Convex, rather short and broad, 
shining, apparently quite destitute of pubescence, legs reddish, 
body greenish-yellow. 
Head minutely and distantly punctured, the antero-lateral mar- 
gins moderately elevated and widely separated. Prothorawx finely 
marginated, a little rounded laterally, base truncate, minutely 
and remotely punctated. Hlytra short, rather abruptly narrowed 
and deflexed posteriorly, their sculpture very similar to that of 
the thorax. Legs stout, pubescent. 
Allied to Nos. 638 and 639 only, and, like them, without a 
distinct scutellum. It seems questionable whether the absence of 
that important organ would justify the separation of these three 
species. 
Length, 34 ; breadth, quite 3 line. 
One, in bad condition, from Mr. P. Stewart-Sandager. 
DIAPERIDA. 
1401. Menimus curtulus,n.sp.—Short, broad,convex, nitid; thorax 
rich dark brown, elytra rufo-fuscous with testaceous apices, head, 
legs, and thoracic margins rufescent ; nearly destitute of pubes- 
cence. 
Head finely but distinctly punctured, most obviously near the 
antenne, the whole surface minutely sculptured ; eyes small, yet 
quite easily seen, Antenne short, with griseous hairs. Prothorux
