New Zealand. Received from Dr. Baden of Altona. 



This species has some points, such as the distinctly clavate 

 femora and tuberculate thorax, in common with the genus 

 Ambeodontus • but the form of the muzzle (very short, not 

 tapering, and with produced acute anterior angles), the antennas, 

 and the palpi are different and show a nearer affinity with 

 Didymocantha. 



The head is slightly exserted, coarsely punctured, with pro- 

 minent eyes and short palpi. The antennas are pubescent 

 throughout, with the fourth joint distinctly shorter than the 

 third, and much shorter than the fifth. The thorax is much 

 narrower than the elytra, with the lateral spine placed much 

 behind the middle, and five tubercles on the disk, three only 

 of which are much elevated ; the depressed parts are covered 

 with round punctures. The fulvous spots on the elytra are : — 

 one, rounded, basal; a second, elongated, behind the shoulder; a 

 third, irregular, meeting the corresponding one on the suture in 

 the middle ; and a fourth, small, discoidal, before the apex.

The type (a damaged specimen) in the British Museum 

 resembles much D. picta, and is congeneric with it. It has, 

 however, more numerous yellow spots on the elytra.

Leptachrous, nov. gen. 



Genus Phlyctcmodi affiue, a quo differt capite ante oculos magis 

 elongato, quadrato, palpis gracilibus filiformibus etc. Corpus 

 elongatum, gracile. Caput exsertuin, antice paulo elongatum, 

 lateribus parallelis ; tubera antennifera fortiter oblique elevata. 

 Palpi articulis terminalibus haud dilatatis. Antennae subtiliter ci- 

 liatse, scapo gracili, clavato, quam articulo tertio vel quarto lou- 

 giore ; articulus quintus precedents et sequente longior. Thorax 

 antice constrictus, supra inaequalis, baud distincte tuberculatus, 

 spina laterali validissima. Elytra costata, apice acute rotundata.
