Seven specimens of this interesting insect taken by Messrs. 

 Sloanc, Musgrave, and myself in the beautiful beech-forests (^rf'/".s- 

 Moorei) that clothe the basalt mountain. In occurred in com- 

 pany with PamJwrus p7-adierl Chaud., and Lissapterns pelorides 

 Westw., in or inider the rotten logs of the Fagus; and seems to 

 be peculiar to this district. I know nothing very near it, and 

 place it with some diffidence in this subfamily. I have much 

 pleasure in giving the generic name in honour of my friend and 

 fre(i[uent companion on entomological quests, who found the first 

 specimen. Type in the author's Coll.
