angustiore; elytris seriatim punctatis, punctis approximatis, juxta 
apicem sat subito deflexis; pedibus parce setulosis. Long. 22 lin. 
Hab. : Pitt Island; Wellington. 
Cranophorus venustus. 
C. elliptico-ovatus, modice convexus, villosus, niger, supra sat confertim, 
4 punctulatus; prothorace utrinque late flavo-marginato ; elytris 
singulis margine externo maeulisque duabus magnis flavis. Long. 
Hab.: Waikato. 
Cranophorus, Muls., is easily recognised by the prolongation of the 
anterior part of the prothorax completely covering the head (not emarginate 
asin the generality of the Coccinellide). Two species only from the Cape 
were known hitherto. I have but a single specimen of the species before 
me; but a minuter examination might show structural peculiarities re- 
quiring its generie separation from the Cape species, which have certainly 
a somewhat different aspect. Only four members of the family are known 
from New Zealand, viz,, Coccinella tasmanii, C. concinna, Lais antipodum, 
and the above; Capt. Broun has sent two or three species of Scymnus, not 
yet determined, and possibly introduced. 
Scaphisoma tenellum. 
S. nitidum, nigrum, pygidio pedibusque piceis; antennis pallidis, 
articulis quinque, ultimis, basi apiceque exceptis, fuscis ; capite pro- 
thoraceque impunctatis, hoe lobo scutellari seuttellum obtegente ; 
elytris impunetatis, stria suturali distineta ; pygidio conico ; corpore 
infra nigro ; abdomine segmentis sex. Long. 13 lin. 
Hab.: Auckland (Tairua). 
Longer than our S. boleti, and the elytra, except in the sutural stria, 
impunctate; in my specimen the eighth joint of the antenne is much 
narrower than the seventh or following joints. This character is found in 
other members of the genus, but it does not seem to be invariable even in 
the same species. 
Dendrophagus capito. 
D. parallelus depressus, fulvus, parcim pilosus; capite prothoraci 
latitudine quali, inter oculos plieato-rugoso ; antennis corpori 
longitudine fere equalibus, articulis secundo tertioque simul quarto 
paullo brevioribus, prothorace antice utrinque tuberculato pro- 
ducto, lateribus dentibus tribus parvis instructis; elytris pallidi- 
oribus, confertim fortiter lineatim punctatis, plagis fuscis obscuris 
notatis; pedibus pallidis, tarsis anticis artieulo basali cordato- 
ampliatis, secundo minore, tarsis intermediis et posticis elongatis, 
linearibus. Long. 24-8 lin,
