Feronia (Platysma) vigil, White, I. c. p. 3. 

 Nothing can be made of the superficial description given. 



Feronia (Platysma) politissima, White, I c. p. 4. 



Port Nicholson. m 



The same remark as above applies to this species. 



Molopsida polita, White, ?. c. p. 6. 



Waikouaiti. 



I have not succeeded in finding the type of this insufficiently described 



genus and species in the British Museum. 



Aloaus mo?iachicus, Motsch. Bull. Mosc. 1865, iv., p. 245. 



7^ lines. Similar to Omaseus in form, but broader and without scutellar 

 striole. Metathoracic episterna a little longer than broad. Thorax nearly 

 twice the width of the head, transverse, cordate, base on each side bisulcate ; 

 sides arcuated ; hind angles prominent, acute. Elytra with one puncture on 

 the third interstice. 



I have seen no species agreeing with Motsehulsky's description. 



CerabiliajnaoH, Castelnau, I. c. p. 202. 



Dunedin. 



. Belongs to the Feronia group, accoi'ding to the author ; but the mentum 

 is described as without tooth, and the palpi as pointed. The species is 4| 

 lines long, brown, and elytra feebly striated. 



Hhabdotus reflexus, Chaucl. Bull. Mosc. 1865, iii. p. 94. 

 Notwithstanding the almost invariable accuracy of M. de Chaudoir, I 

 suspect an error in the locality he gives to this species. The specimens I have 

 seen are all from Tasmania.
