Pascog.— New Genera and Species of N.Z. Coleoptera. 411 
The only species of this genus is ferruginous in colour, with deciduous 
greyish scales, but always more scattered at the sides, which, to the naked 
eye present the appearance of being marked with a large brownish patch. 
I obtained my original specimen from an old collection in the possession of 
Mr. Stevens; but I have since received it from Capt. Broun, who finds it 
plentifully at Tairua, near Auckland. 
Eugnomus, Schónh., with an undescribed New Zealand insect for its type, 
is unknown to me, but is apparently differentiated from the present genus 
in several particulars, i. e. in the eyes, antenne, prothorax, elytra, etc. 
T'ysius amplipennis. 
T. ferrugineus, squamalis grisescentibus inequalitur vestitus, supra 
setulis paucis adspersus; capite confertim punctato, super oculos 
tubereulis duobus munito; rostro capite parum longiore; pro- 
thorace longitudine latitudini fere æquali, pone apicem fortiter 
constrieto ; elytris basi prothrace duplo latioribus, pone basin obli- 
que excavatis, striato-punctatis, interstitiis latis, vix convexis, tertio 
quintoque interrupte elevatis, quarto quintoque versus apicem callo- 
sis; corpore infra sparse punctato. Long. 14 lin. 
Hab.: Tairua. 
Ixornurcvs. 
Rostrum modice elongatum robustum, apicem versus gradatim in- 
crassatum, supra tricarinatum, plaga triangulari munitum; serobes 
terminales, arcuate ad latera rostri cito desinentes. Scapus pone 
oculum superans ; funiculus articulo basali elongato, exteris obconi- 
cis vel pyriformibus ; clava distincta. Oculi infra angulares, sub- 
fortiter granulati.  Prothorar basi angustior, lobis ocularibus 
munitus. Elytra dorso planata vel subdepressa, apieem versus 
declivia. Femora in medio crassiora; tibie antice flexuose, intus 
haud dentate, reliquie, rectz, postice corbellis subapertis ; tarsi nor- 
males. Abdomen segmentis duobus basalibus ampliatis. 
The Chilian genus Cylindrorhinus is not capable of being strictly defined 
as it stands at present ; but taking Lacordaire's characters, the more deter- 
minate seeems to be the close connection of the club to the funicle; in the 
genus before us the club is well limited. If, however, we had been dealing 
with Chilian instead of New Zealand insects I should have had little hesita- 
tion in placing, provisionally at least, the species deseribed below with 
Cylindrorhinus, except that the latter is without any vestige of scales. 
Inophleus traversii. 
I. fuscus, obscure griseo-squamosus, rostro prothorace paulo breviore, 
carina intermedia sat, acute elevata; antennis piceis; funiculi
