New Zealand. Received from Dr. Baden of Altona. 



This species has some points, such as the distinctly clavate femora and 

 tuberculate thorax, in common with the genus Ambeodontus ; but the form of 

 the muzzle (very short, not tapering, and with produced acute anterior angles), 

 the antennae, and the palpi are different, and show a nearer affinity with 

 DidymocantJia. 



The head is slightly exserted, coarsely punctured, with prominent eyes and 

 short palpi. The antennse are pubescent throughout, with the fourth joint 

 distinctly shorter than the third, and much shorter than the fifth. The tl 

 is much narrower than the elytra, with the lateral spine placed much behind 

 the middle, and five tubercles on the disc, three only of which are much 

 elevated ; the depressed parts are covered with round punctures. The fulvous 

 spots on the elytra are : — one, rounded, basal ; a second, elongated, behind the 

 shoulder ; a third, irregular, meeting the corresponding one on the suture in 

 the middle; and a fourth, small, discoidal, before the apex.

The type (a damaged specimen) in the British Museum resembles much 

 D. picta, and is congeneric with it. It has, however, more numerous yellow 



spots on the elytra.
