tertloque breviusculis, cfeteria longiusculis, serratis ; capite pro- 

 thoraceque sat vage punctatis ; elytris elongate- cuneiformibus, 

 Btriato-punctatis ; meso- metathoraceque nitide fuscis. 



Hah. Auckland. 



An elegant species, not agreeing well with Limonius^ and 

 probably belonging to a new genus. 



PHYMATOPIIJiA. 



Caput antice modice productura. OcuU reniformes, transversi. 

 AntenncE articulo basali elongate, valido,tertio ad octavum gradatim 

 brevioribus ; clava magna, laxe triarticulata, articulis duobus 

 basalibus triangularibus, ultimo rotundato. Palpi articulo ultimo 

 triangulari. Prothorax utrinque tuberculato-productus. Eli/tra 

 supra insequalia, basi prothoracis dujilo latiora. Pedes modice 

 elongati ; femora fusiformia, anteriora crassiora ; tarsi articulo 

 basali obtecto ; unguiculi basi dente instructi. 



There is nothing in the sterna or abdomen different from 

 Scrohiger, Spin., near which this genus may be placed. Its 

 distinctive peculiarity is the large, loosely three-jointed club ; 

 but there is much to remind us of the West-African genus 

 Erymanthus. 



Pliymato'plia^a electa. 



P. modice elongata, fusca, subnitida, plagis succinois ornata, pilis 

 concoloribus adspersa ; capite inter oculos undo, bitubcrculato ; 

 prothorace antice tuberculis duobus succineis instructo ; elytris 

 insequaliter rude impresso-punctatis, humeris tubereulisque suc- 

 cineis sex, sell, duobus subbasalibus, duobus ante medium, duobus 

 sub apice positis, pone medium fascia obliqua elevata notatis ; 

 pedibus fusco variegatis ; corpore infra nitide fusco. Long. 4- 

 4| lin.

EUMEDE. 



Caput antice brevissimum. Oculi magni, leviter emarginati, tenuiter 

 granulati. Antenn(P breviusculse, 11-articulatae, articulis tribus 

 ultirais clavam formantibus. Paljn maxillares articulo ultimo 

 ovoideo, labiales securiformi. Prothora.v capite angustior, basi 

 modice latus. Elytra oblonga. Pedes graciles ; tarsi articulo 

 prime brevissimo. 



The only exponent of this genus has somewhat the habit of 

 Lemidia, from which it differs, infer alia, in its emarginate 

 eye; while Aulicus, to which it slightly approximates, has all 

 the palpi securiform. 



Eumede ceraria. 



E. fusco-aenea, nitida, antennis, palpis pedibusque, femoribus excep- 

 tis, testaceis, pilis volitantibus aliis(iue albis subadpressis vestita ;
