388 Capt. T. Broun on new 
hairs; red, elytra chestnut-red, suffused with piceous behind ; 
tarsi pale red. 
Rostrum cylindric, not at all broad, finely and distantly 
punctured. Head behind the eyes twice the breadth of the 
rostrum, convex and glossy. Zhoraz widest behind the 
middle, rounded there, gradually but considerably narrowed 
towards the front, much constricted near the apex ; the disk 
very little convex, with distinct, moderately fine, distant 
punctures, the sides more closely sculptured, the apical 
portion almost quite smooth. lytra slightly and gradually 
narrowed posteriorly, the shoulders not wider than the 
broadest part of the thorax; dorsum nearly flat, regularly 
striate, the striz with distinct but not very closely placed 
punctures; interstices with fine serial punctures. Scape 
shining and glabrous, considerably shorter than the funiculus. 
Club densely and obviously pilose. Z%bie at the inner angle 
with a spiniform seta. Cove widely separated, the anterior 
much further apart than in Phleophagosoma. 
Sexual differences slight; in the female the rostrum is 
rather longer and more slender than in the male. 
No. 942, temporarily placed in Phleophagosoma, must be 
transferred to this genus. It may be distinguished from 
S. nitida by its more coarsely and closely sculptured thorax, 
the punctures just behind the constriction are quite close ; 
the elytral grooves are rather deeper and broader, with more 
punctures in them. 
Length 12, breadth 2 line. 
Hunua Range, Clevedon. 
Group Cerambycide. 
Didymocantha pallida, sp. n. 
Slender, elongate, shining, pale testaceous ; antenne and 
legs pale yellow ; with very few erect pallid hairs. 
Head, in line with the eyes, as wide as the thorax; the 
punctures on the vertex rather small and distant, those behind 
the eyes smaller but closer. yes large, coarsely faceted, 
their greatest bulk in front below the antenne. Thorax of 
equal length and breadth, widest at the middle, each side 
with a prominent tubercle there and a smaller one near the 
front; on the disk in line with the frontal tubercles there are 
two small , indistinctly raised, smooth spots ; along the middle, 
but not extending to the apex, there is a broad smooth space, 
this near the base becomes a linear i impression ; the punc- 
tures are fine, distant, and reddish, near the sides they are
