There is nothing in the sterna or abdomen different from Scrobiger, 
Spin., near which this genus may be placed. Its distinctive peculiarity is 
the large, loosely three-jointed club, but there is much to remind us of the 
West African genus Hrymanthus. 
Phymatophea electa. 
P. modice elongata, fusca, subnitida, plagis succineis ornata, pilis 
concoloribus adspersa; capite inter oculos nudo, bituberculato + 
prothorace antice tuberculis duobus suceineis instructo; elytris 
inequaliter rude impresso-punctatis, humeris tuberculisque suc- 
cineis sex, scil. duobus subbasalibus, duobus ante medium, duobus 
sub apice positis, pone medium fascia obliqua elevata notatis; pedi- 
bus fusco variegatis ; corpore infra nitide fusco. Long. 4-41 lin. 
Hab.: Auckland. 
Eumene. 
Caput antice brevissimum. Oculi magni, leviter emarginati, tenuiter 
granulati. Antenne breviusculæ, 11-articulatæ, articulis tribus ulti- 
mis clavam formantibus. Palpi maxillares articulo ultimo ovoideo, 
labiales securiformi. Prothoraw capite angustior, basi modice latus. 
Elytra oblonga. Pedes graciles ; tarsi articulo primo brevissimo. 
The only exponent of this genus has somewhat the habit of Lemidia, 
from which it differs, inter alia, in its emarginate eye; while Aulicus, to 
which it slightly approximates, has all the palpi securiform.
