the same as rostrum. Antennae and tarsi dark reddish-brown. Scape and funiculus of about equal length, club finely pubescent, the funiculus ciliated. Thorax very little wider than head, obliquely narrowed towards front from the middle where it is widest, and from the middle subparallel towards the slightly bisinuated base, posterior angles roundly depressed. It is transversely raised at its widest part, which is somewhat broken up in middle, and distinctly depressed between this elevation and apex, which is also raised in centre, granulose in front, coarsely punctate behind, and sparsely clothed with small coppery scales. Elytra with base broadly V-shaped, a little wider than thorax, broadening to behind posterior thighs where it is widest, then considerably narrowed to apices. Humeral angles quadrate, sides immediately behind shoulders depressed, the whole surface above declivity sculptured with rather large punctures and small dark shining granules. In side depressions behind base is a small patch of cream-coloured scales, and in the same transverse line there are two smaller elevated spots, one each side of suture, immediately behind these one to two other small spots, and bordering top of declivity and continuing almost to elytral margins is a narrow line, all of the same pale colour. Declivity abruptly descending, practically without clothing, distinctly punctate, with four low rounded elevations on top, half-way down four others, and near apices two more, rather indistinct. Femora incrassate, flexuous, slightly rounded, notched. Tibia outwardly curved, a little flexuous, mucronate. Upper portion of femora clothed with dark-brown scales, also upper apical portion, middle banded with ash-colour. Tibia variegated with dark tawny, and bearing some curled hairs. Underside: Rostrum striate-punctate; head transversely finely striate; mesosternum and the first two basal ventral segments punctate; tarsi spongy beneath, densely clothed with pallid silky pubescenc. Holotype, female (by selection): Length, 8 mm., including rostrum; breadth, 3.5 mm. In author's collection. Allotype, male (by selection): Length, 5 mm., including rostrum; breadth, 2.4 mm. In author's collection. This does not differ materially from the other sex except in its smaller size. The head is clothed with almost white scales in which there are two minute dark-brown dots. Material: Several specimens of each sex. Locality.—Ohakune, Main Trunk line. Discovered by Mr. T. R. Harris, in whose honour I have much pleasure in naming it, and to whom a set of paratypes are returned. The abdominal structure of this weevil is peculiar, and, having no known near allies, makes it difficult to find a satisfactory position for it. For the present it may be placed near Agatholobus, but the two genera are widely different.
