Broun. — Revision of the Neiv Zealand Cossonidfe. 203 



E. amplus, Hroun. 951. Man. N.Z. Coleopt., p. 535. 



Rufo-piceous, moderately nitid. Larger than typical examples of E. 

 dubius, the head and rostrum more finely punctured, the former appreciably 

 longer and a little constricted midway between the eyes and thorax, antennae 

 more elongate, the linear interocular impression prolonged to the middle 

 of the rostrum, thorax more deeply constricted, the base of the elytra bi- 

 arcuate, the sutural strife distinct. 



S . Length, 2| lines ; breadth, nearly | line. 



Parua. 



E. littoralis, Broun. 952. Man. N.Z. Coleopt., p. 536. (Plate XVI, fig. 12.) 



Piceo-rufous, elytra sometimes piceous, the legs and antennae red. 



Of peculiarly elongate cylindric outline, with small inconspicuous eyes. 

 The rostrum, head, and thorax very finely, almost minutely, punctate ; 

 the thorax nearly cylindrical, very gradually narrowed anteriorly, and 

 hardly at all constricted ; elytra quite cylindric and rather finely striate- 

 punctate, interstices wath minute distant punctures. 



Length, IJ lines ; breadth, nearly | line. 



Tairua, East Coast. Under logs, on the seaside. 



E. cylindricus, Broun. 2206. Man. N.Z. Coleopt., p. 1252. 



Piceo-rufous or castaneous, generally of the latter colour, underside 

 included. 



Closely resembling E. littoralis, the rostrum more distinctly marked off, 

 narrower than the head ; eyes transversely oval and rather more prominent ; 

 there is an interocular fovea ; elytra slightly narrowed near the posterior 

 femora so as to appear a little dilated behind, more striate, the serial 

 punctures on the suture and interstices closer and more distinct ; the body 

 itself rather less slender. 



Length, If lines ; breadth, f line. 



Otago. On the sea-beach. 



E. parvulus, Broun. 2207. Man. N.Z. Coleopt., p. 1253. 



Shining, testaceous, legs and antennae rufescent. Head and rostrum 

 nearly smooth, the few minute punctures distant from each other, the eyes 

 slightly more prominent, the thorax not constricted in front and exactly 

 the same width as the smooth occiput, elytra finely striate-punctate, with 

 but few interstitial punctures. 



Length, IJ lines ; breadth, J line. 



Taranaki, West Coast. One. 



Obs. — The transference of E. littoralis, cylindricus, and parvulus to a 

 distinct genus might be considered justifiable, the eyes being different from 

 those of Eutornus. 



Stilbocara, Broun. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1893. 



Subdepressed, fusiform, glabrous, glossy. 



Rostrum nearly as long as the thorax, very obviously marked off from 

 the strongly globose occiput, arched, subparallel, or slightly and very 

 gradually narrowed behind, moderately stout but not broad. Scape stout, 

 very short, inserted just before, in the female at, the middle ; it does not 

 reach backwards as far as. the eye. Funiculus closely articulated, joints 2-7
