Species of New-Zealand Coleoptera. 49 



DendropJiagus capilo. 



D. parallelus, dei^ressus, fulvus, parcim pilosus ; capite prothoraci 

 latitudine aeqnali, inter oculos plicato-rugoso ; antennis corpori 

 longitudine fere sequalibus, articulis secimdo tertioque simiil quarto 

 paullo brevioribus, prothorace antice utrinque tuberculato pro- 

 ducto, lateribus dentibus tribus parvis instructis ; elytris pallidi- 

 oribus, confertim fortiter lineatim puiietatis, plagis fuscis obscuris 

 notatis ; pedibiis pallidis, tarsis anticis articulo basali cordato- 

 ampliatis, secundo minore, tarsis interraediis et posticis elongatis, 

 linearibus. Long. 2|-3 lin. 



Hah. Otago ; Lake Guyon. 



Dendroj)hagusbrevicof)iis,\V\\., is a dyj^tamorpha, a genus 

 first discovered in Madeira by Mr. Wollaston (Ins. Mad. p. 156). 

 .D. suturalis and 1). unihrtnus, also from New Zealand, and 

 each represented by a single specimen in bad condition in the 

 British Museum, appear to me to be scarcely more than varie- 

 ties. A species of the nearly allied genus Prostomis from 

 New Zealand was sent to me many years ago by the late Dr. 

 Howitt ; but, excepting its larger size, I am unable to separate 

 it from the European P. mandibularis. 



Amychus. 



Caput parvum, inter oculos planatum. Antennoe breves, articulo 

 primo valido, secundo quam tertio paulo breviore, cseteris, ultimo 

 elliptico excepto, triangularibus, quam secundo baud longioribus. 

 Sulci pectorales obsoleti, Characteres alii fere ut in Lacone. 



The habit of the species described below is unmistakably 

 that of Lacon ; but it has only a very slight trace of the lateral 

 prosternal groove destined for the reception of the antenna in 

 repose. It was discovered in the Chatham Islands by Mr. 

 Travers. I have dedicated it to Dr. Candeze, who has so 

 elaborately monographed the insects of the family. 



Amy chits Candezei. 

 A. validus, modice convexus, fusco-tomentosus, pilis aurulentis parce 

 adspersus ; antennis fuscis, extus magis pubescentibus ; protho- 

 race ample, subtransverso, basi fortiter trisinuato, angulis posticis 

 productis ; scutello scutiformi ; elytris striatis, lateribus valde 

 rotundatis, griseo subfasciatis vel plagiatis, punctis nitidis adsper- 

 sis ; corpore infra indumento fusco, verisimiliter saepe detrito, 

 induto. Long. 7-9 lin. 



Hob. Pitt's Island. 



Limonius collaris. 

 L. gracilis, nitide fuscus, prothorace pedibusque fulvesccntibus ; 

 antennis luteis, corporis dimidia longitudine, articulis secundo
