Pedes modice elongati ; femora \ix incrassata. Prosternum inter 

 coxas exsertas angustum ; acctabula intermedia extus aperta. 



Founded on Ceramhyx strujipennis, Westwood, which 

 White referred witli doubt to Phi yctcr nodes, but which differs 



all essential points from that genus. The much shorter 

 axillary ])alpi, long square muzzle, and elongated scape are 

 the most obvious structural peculiarities.

Three examples received from Mr. Fereday, of Christchurch, 

 belong undoubtedly to the same species as the tyj^e specimen

 description cited above.
