Xylotoles lynceus. 



Saperda lynceus, Fab. Syst. Ent. p. 185. 



The specimen of this insect still preserved in the Banksian collection, 

 though in bad condition, is recognizable as a species of Xylotoles, and doubtless 

 a male ; but I have seen no second example of the species, among the hundreds 

 of specimens of Xylotoles sent home by Mr. Lawson from Auckland and a 

 smaller number by Mr. Fereday from Christchurch. It is remarkably 

 elongate and parrallel-sided, 5^ lines long, with the apices of the elytra 

 produced and divaricate ; in colour it resembles X. griseus.

Xylotoles westicoodii, Gu«5r. Rev. Zool. 1847, p. 170. 



The descriptions of Boisduval and Newman agree veiy well with a common 

 species, to which the type of Fabricius belongs. Mr. Lawson has sent it in 

 great numbers from Auckland, and I have also received it from Christchurch. 

 It varies in size from 3 to 6 lines ; and the apices of the elytra are singly 

 rounded in both sexes (rather more acutely in the male), never divaricated,
