Dendrophagus cajiito.

 latitudine oequali, inter oculos plicato-rugoso ; antennis corpori 

 longitudine I'ere aequalibiis, articulis sccundo tertioque simnl quarto 

 paullo brevioribns, prothorace antice iitrinque tuberculato pro- 

 ducto, lateribus deutibus tribus parvis instructis ; clytris pallidi- 

 oribus, eonfertim fortiter lineatim puuctatis, plagis fuscis obscuris 

 notatis ; pedibus pallidis, tarsis anticis articulo basali cordato-

 Hah. Otago ; Lake Giiyon. 



Dendrophagushrevicornis^Y^h..^ is a Cryptamorpha, a genus 

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

 D. suturalis and 1). umhrinus^ 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 Prosfomis 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. mandihularis. 



Amychus. 



Caput parvura, inter oculos planatum. Antenncs breves, articulo 

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

 eUiptico excepto, triangularibus, quam secundo baud longioribus. 

 Svlci 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 sligiit 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. Cand^ze, who has so 

 elaborately monographed the insects of the family.
