796 COLEOPTERA 



Most nearly related to D. sudus, the snout rather shorter and 

 stouter, the eyes rather more distant from the thorax, the latter 

 broader and more rounded, and the elytra more attenuated 

 posteriorly. 



Length (rost. excl.), ij Hues ; breadth, f line. 



My specimen was found at Northcote (Waitemata Harbour). 



Ceenophanus. 



Nov. gen. 



Rostrum moderate, sub-cylindrical, arcuated, slightly expanded 

 in front ; scrobes sub-apical, oblique. Antenna moderate, implanted 

 near the apex ; scape flexuous, gradually incrassated ; funiculus 

 7-articulate, two first joints elongate, equal, joints 3-7 obconical, 

 decreasing in length ; club elongate-oval, 3-jointed. Eyes distant 

 from thorax and one another, longitudinally oval, distinctly facetted, 

 prominent. Prothorax sub-conical, small, constricted anteriorly, 

 base and apex truncate, rounded laterally. Scutellum minute, 

 oblong. Elytra oviform, thrice the length of, and broader than, the 

 thorax at the base. Legs stout ; anterior femora so clavate as to 

 appear notched at the extremity ; the thickening of the intermediate 

 ending acutely, yet not quite dentate ; the posterior laterally com- 

 pressed and strongly and acutely protuberant below; tibia stout, 

 flexuous, the hind pair considerably ridged longitudinally, and 

 cavernose at the extremity ; tarsi rather broad, their two basal 

 joints triangular, the penultimate expanded and truly bi-lobed, being 

 cleft to the base. 



Eelated to Eugnomus, but the eyes, tibiae, and hind-body present 

 disparities of structure ; the latter is far more elongate and narrowed 

 towards the front. 



No. 820 should be located at the end of the Eugnomii, so as to 

 become known as Eugnomus squamosus, and to form a connecting 

 link between that genus and Canophanus ; ultimately it may be made 

 the type of a new genus. 



1419. C. flavipiltlS, n.s t Elongate, elliptical, slightly con- 

 vex ; a little glossy, chestnut-red, legs and antennae red, clothed 

 with yellow hairs. 



Hostrum punctate, indistinctly tri-carinate, apex blackish. Head 

 punctate, dilated behind. Prothorax about as long as broad, con- 

 tracted in front, its sides rounded ; closely punctured, with a few 

 elongate scales at base. Elytra truncate at, and narrowed towards, 

 the base, humeral angles oblique, widest behind the middle, not 

 greatly attenuated behind, elongate-oval ; punctate-striate, inter- 

 stices as broad as the punctures ; their clothing rather dense, con- 

 sisting of fine and coarse hairs, the latter not very numerous and 

 seeming to form lines on the interstices. Legs robust, pilose. 



Length (rost. incl.), 3 lines; breadth, i line. 



The only specimen I have seen was taken by Mr. T. F. Cheese- 

 man on Mount Arthur.
