Mount Egmont, near Stratford. My specimen was found 
by Mr. A. T. Urquhart. 
This may be easily separated from the New-Zealand species 
that are placed in the first division of the group by its re- 
markably outstanding eyes, these are widely separated above 
and distant from the thoracic margin. ‘The scape reaches 
some distance beyond the front of the thorax, it is somewhat 
flexuous and only slightly incrassate towards the extremity. 
The scrobes are quite open above; they extend from near the 
apex towards the eyes, but become shallow behind. ‘There 
are no ocular lobes. ‘The posterior corbels are not cavernous. 
This is an interesting discovery, as the genus was supposed 
to be confined to the Sandwich Islands. 
Inophlaus medius, sp. n. 
Piceous, densely covered with small round flat scales of a 
ereyish-brown colour; there are also many decumbent sete, 
which are usually paler, the posterior declivity of the hind 
body is greyish ; the legs, antennee, and the tip of the rostrum 
are obscure red. 
Rostrum about one third shorter than the thorax, its 
central carina distinct, the apex bears numerous fine sete. 
Scape with fine yellowish sete, very gradually thickened, it 
attains the back of the eye. uniculus with erect slender 
sete, its first joint rather longer than the second, fourth dis- 
tinctly shorter than the third, hardly any longer than the 
fifth ; club elongate-oval, pubescent. Thorawx nearly a third 
broader than it is long, widest near the front, rugose near 
the sides. Scutellum distinct, suboblong. lytra evidently 
broader than the thorax at the base, hardly any wider near 
the middle than they are elsewhere, only moderately narrowed 
towards the base ; they are quite vertical and much narrowed 
behind; disk but little convex, yet not flat, with regular 
series of distinct, moderately distant punctures; third and 
fifth interstices more or less elevated and, on top of the decli- 
vity, nodiform; the sides, though well defined, can scarcely 
be termed costate; each side of the suture is horizontally 
prolonged, but the protuberances hardly extend beyond the 
summit of the declivity. 
Inderside clothed like the upper surface. Prosternum 
incurved in front. Head with a median fovea. 
The ocular lobes are well developed. The corbels of the 
posterior tibiz are cavernous, with double ciliz.
