ficiente ; abdomiue segmeuto quinto vcntrali elongato. 

 Long. Corp. 2f mm. 



Mas, tarsis anterioribus subtus longius pilosis, articulo 

 basali vix dilatato. 



Of remarkably elongate form. Antennae about as long 

 as head and tliorax, with all the joints elongate, the 8th 

 slightly shorter than 7th; 9th and 10th joints very similar 

 to one another, twice as broad as the 8th joint, each a 

 little longer than broad ; 11th joint about as broad as the 

 10th and a little longer than it, obtusely pointed. Head 

 elongate and narrow, a little narrower than the thorax, the 

 eyes placed at the front part of the sides. Thorax long 

 and narrow, about twice as long as broad, its greatest 

 breadth a little in front of the middle. Elytra without 

 impressions or plicic. The intermediate coxse separated 

 by a raised thin lamina, which however is not continued 

 along the mesosternum. The metasternum is remarkably 

 elongate. The legs are very long and slender. The 

 underside of the head has at the base a deep fovea. The 

 3rd joint of maxillary palpi elongate and slender, but little 

 thicker than the 2nd ; 4th joint invisible. 



Of this remarkable species a single specimen has been 

 sent me by INIr. Edwards from New Zealand. Being in- 

 debted to him for a number of the species described in this 

 paper, I have great pleasure in naming this conspicuous 

 species in honour of him. 



Phagonophana setosa, n. sp. Rufa, densius (elytris 

 longius) setosa ; antennis crassiusculis, articulis 4 ultimis 

 leviter incrassatis; vertice gibboso; prothorace basi utrin- 

 que bifoveolato, foveola externa parva ; elytris intra 

 humeros impressis. Long. corp. 2\ mm. 



Antennse about as long as head and thorax, slightly 

 thickened towards the extremity ; 1st and 2nd joints stout, 

 2nd nearly as long as the 1st, 3rd joint quadi-ate, 6th 

 slightly smaller than the contiguous joints, 8 — 11 slightly 

 stouter than the others, 8 — 10 a little transverse, 11 th 

 joint longer than 10th, obtusely pointed; all the joints 

 Avith elongate distinct sets. Head apparently impunctate, 

 but clothed with a dense rough pubescence, the front de- 

 pressed, the vertex convex, the eyes small but prominent. 

 Thorax longer than broad, moderately narrowed behind, 

 clothed like the head with rough pubescence ; the base has 

 on each side two fovese, which are concealed by the pubes-
