Dendrophagus brevicornis, Wh., is a Cryptamorpha, a genus first discovered 
in Madeira by Mr. Wollaston (“ Ins. Mad.," p. 156). D. suturalis and D. 
umbrinus, also from New Zealand, and each represented by a single speci- 
men in bad condition in the British Museum, appear to me to be scarcely 
more than varieties. A species of the nearly allied genus Prostomis from 
New Zealand was sent to me many years ago by the late Dr. Howitt ; but, 
excepting its larger size, I am unable to separate it from the European P. 
mandibularis. à 
AMYCHUS. 
Caput parvum, inter oculos planatum. Antenne breves, artieulo 
primo valido, secundo quam tertio paulo breviore, ceteris, ultimo 
elliptico excepto, triangularibus, quam secundo haud longioribus. 
Sulct pectorales obsoleti. Characteres alii fere ut in Lacone. 
The habit of the species described below is unmistakably that of Lacon ; 
but it has only a very slight trace of the lateral prosternal groove destined 
for the reception of the antenna in repose. It was discovered in the 
Chatham Islands by Mr. Travers. I have dedicated it to Dr. Candéze, who 
has so elaborately monographed the insects of the family. 
Amychus candezei. 
4. validus, modice convexus, fusco-tomentosus, pilis aurulentis parce 
adspersus; antennis fuscis, extus, magis pubescentibus; protho- 
race amplo, subtransverso, basi fortiter trisinuato, angulis posticis 
produetis ; scutello seutiformi; elytris striatis, lateribus valde 
rotundatis, griseo subfasciatis vel plagiatis, punctis nitidis adsper- 
sis; corpore infra indumento fusco, verisimiliter siepe detrito, induto. 
Long. 7-9 lin. 
Hab. : Pitt Island. 
Limonius collaris, 
L. gracilis, nitide fuscus, prothorace pedibusque, fulvescentibus ; an- 
tennis luteis, corporis dimidia longitudine, artieulis secundo ter- 
tioque breviusculis, cæteris longiusculis, serratis ; eapite prothorace- 
que sat vage punctatis; elytris elongato-euneiformibus, striato- 
punctatis ; meso-metathoraceque nitide fuscis. 
Hab.: Auckland. 
An elegant species, not agreeing well with Limonius, and probably belong- 
ing to a new genus. 
PHYMATOPHÆA. 
Caput antice modice productum. Oculi reniformes, transversi. An- 
tennæ articulo basali elongato, valido, tertio ad octavum gradatim
