56 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera and 



Aneuma. 



Rostrum cylindi'icum, tenue, arcuatum ; scrohes antemedianae, 

 laterales. Scapus oculum attingens ; funiculus articulo primo 

 elongate, crasso ; clava distincta. Oculi rotundati, fortiter gra- 

 nulati. Proihorax transversus, basi truucatus, lobis ocularibus 

 nullis. Elytra elongato-cordata, prothorace raulto latiora. Pec- 

 tus antice emarginato-canaliculatum. Coxce anticse contiguae, 

 intermediae modice approximatse ; femora incrassata, infra dente 

 minuto instructa ; tihiai breviusculse, rectse ; tarsi normales. 

 Abdomen segmento secundo hand ampliato, duobus sequentibus 

 conjunctim longiore. Corpus pilosum. 



In this genus the head is deeply inserted into the prothorax, 

 and, although it is much bent inwards, the rostrum is not re- 

 ceived in the pectoral canal, the latter being bounded behind 

 by the anterior coxfB. The presence of this canal prevents the 

 genus being associated with Erirhinus, to which otherwise it 

 might have been referred. 



Aneuma fulvijjes. 



A. ovalis, supra subtestacea, nigrescenti-nebulosa, pihs griseis sat 

 sparse vestita ; rostro prothorace breviore, basi hneis elevatis in- 

 structo ; antennis subtestaceis, apicem versus infuscatis ; funiculo 

 articulis secundo, tertio quartoque gradatim brevioribus, tribus 

 ultimis transvei-sis ; prothorace utrinque rotundato, leviter punc- 

 tulato ; elytris confertim striato-punctatis, interstitiis convexis ; 

 corpore infra piceo-testaceo ; pedibus fulvescentibus, sparse pilosis. 

 Long. 1;^ lin. 



Hab. Christchurch. 



Stephanorhynchus purus. 



S. fere omnino griseo squamulosus ; rostro vix compresso, antice baud 

 cristato, fronte super oculos leviter bituberculata, tuberculis baud 

 setosis ; clava antennarum elongate -ovata, tomentosa, arete arti- 

 culata ; prothorace nonnibil subquadrato, sed antice subito con- 

 stricto, supra vix tuberculato ; scutello parvo, transverso ; elytris 

 elongato-subeordatis, supra subplanatis, leviter tuberculatis, stri- 

 atis, interstitiis alternis elevatis, lateribus subito deflesis, apicibus 

 divergentibus ; femoribus posticis dente minus prominente ; ab- 

 domine segmentis tribus ultimis esquamosis, infuscatis ; tarsis 

 articulo penultimo nigro. Long. 3| lin. 



Hab. Pitt's Island. 



In S. attelaboides, Fab., the only species hitherto described, 

 the upper surface is very irregular, the rostrum with a sharply 

 raised longitudinal crest, the prothorax conical, &c. It varies 

 in colour, being sometimes uniformly grey, as in the species 

 before us ; but its normal state is well represented in Mr. 

 White's figure (Ereb. and Terror, tab. 3. fig. 11).
