This new genus is founded on Callidium zealandicum, Blanch., an insect 

 having no near affinity to Callidium, but which Lacordaire was inclined to 

 place in Callidiopsis, and White included in (Emona. It differs rq. essential 

 characters from all these groups, and seems most nearly allied to the American 

 genus Elaphidion.
