I can only compare this genus to the Australian Psaldus, from which it 
is at once differentiated, inter alia, by its normal serobes and propectus 
(the latter without the slightest trace of a canal). Syagrius has a different 
rostrum and the tibiae not armed with a hook. 
Pedaretus hispidus. l 
P. breviter cylindricus, fuscus, squamulis erectis piliformibus, rostro 
incluso, vestitus; antennis nitide subferrugineis, clava ovata ; 
prothorace latitudine longitudini æquali, lateribus valde rotundatis 
supra confertim fortiter punctato; elytris fortiter striatis striis 
punctis remotis impressis , corpore infra fortiter punctato ; tarsis 
fulvis. Long. 14 lin.

Erirhinus acalyptoides. 
E. ovatus, fulvus, parce sericeo-pilosus, prothorace fusco; rostro 
gracili, prothoraci longitudine æquali, modice arcuato, basi striato ; 
antennis fere in medio rostri insertis, clava majuscula, fusca ; 
prothorace transverso, utrinque valde rotundato, sat vage pune- 
tato; scutello rotundato; elytris prothorce multo latioribus, striato- 
punctatis, apice rotundatis; pedibus fulvis; corpore infra infus- 
cato. Long. 12 lin. 
Hab.: Otago. 
I ean see nothing to differentiate this pretty little species generically 
from Érirhinus. It is very similar in appearance to our Acalyptus carpini. 
ANEUMA. 
Rostrum cylindricum, tenue arcuatum ; scrobes antemediansm, late- 
rales. Scapus oculum attingens ; funiculus articulo primo elongato, 
crasso; clava distincta. Oculi rotundati, fortiter granulati. Pro- 
thorax transversus, basi truncatus, lobis oeularibus nullis. Elytra 
elongato-cordata, prothorace multo latiora. Pectus antice emargi- 
nato-canalieulatum. Core antice contigus, intermedise modice ap- 
proximate ; femora incrassata, infra dente minuto instructa; tibie 
breviuseule, rect»; tarsi normales. Abdomen segmento secundo 
NNNM duobus sequentibus conjunctim longiore. Corpus 
In this genus the head is deeply inserted into the prothorax, and, 
although it is much bent inward, the rostrum is not received in the pecto- 
ral canal, the latter being bounded behind by the anterior coxe. The pre-
