This species is remarkable for the perfectly flat dise of the elytra, the 
sides bent suddenly down forming a sharp angle with the disc. It is from 
Pitt Island, one of the Chatham group, where it was found by Mr. 
Travers. 
Inophleus inuus. 
I. nigrescens, subtiliter squamosus, squamulisque piliformibus albis 
adspersus; rostro prothorace vix breviore, carina intermedia basi 
magis elevata; antennis piceis; funiculi artieulo secundo quam 
primo breviore; clava elongato-elliptiea, tomentosa ; prothorace 
paulo latiore quam longiore, punctis flexuosis leviter impresso ; 
scutello parvo, distincto ; elytris sat anguste obovatis, supra paulo 
convexis, seriatim fortiter punctatis, interstitiis alternis paulo

The punetures on the prothorax are so modified as to give the impres-

charaeters of this species are diagnostic.
