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



Aneuma. 



nostrum cylindricum, tenue, arcuatum ; scrobes antemedianae, 

 laterales. Scapus oculum attiugens ; funiculus articulo primo 

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

 nulati. Protliorax transversus, basi truncatus, lobis ocularibus 

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

 tus antice emarginato-canaliculatum. Coxce anticse contiguse, 

 intermedije modice approximatse ; femora incrassata, iufra dente 

 minuto instnicta ; tibia breviusculae, rectae ; tarsi normales. 

 Abdomen segmeuto secundo baud 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 coxfe. The presence of this canal prevents the 

 genus being associated with Erirhinus^ to which otherwise it 

 might have been referred. 



Aneuma fulvipes. 



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

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

 structo ; antennis subtestaceis, apicem versus infuscatis ; funiculo 

 articulis secundo, tertio quartoque gradatim brevioribus, tribus 

 ultimis transversis ; prothorace utrinque rotundato, leviter punc- 

 tulato ; elytris confertim striato-punctatis, interstitiis convexis ; 

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

 Long. 1| lin. 



Hob. Christchurch. 



Stephanorhynchus purus. 



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

 cristato, fronte super oculos leviter bituberculata, tuberculis baud 

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

 culata ; prothorace nonnihil subquadrato, sed antice siibito con- 

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

 elongato-subcordatis, sxlpra subplanatis, leviter tuberculatis, stri- 

 atis, interstitiis alternis elevatis, lateribus subito deflexis, apicibus 

 divergentibus ; femoribus posticis dente minus prominente ; ab- 

 domine segmentis tribus ultimis esquamosis, infuscatis ; tarsia 

 articulo penultimo nigro. Long. 3| lin. 



Hob. 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 protliorax 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 (Ercb. and Terror, tab. 3. fig. 11).
