Argutor 2nceus, Blanch. I. c. p. 28, t. ii. f. 8. 

 The head is described as having two large rugose foveas, and the elytra 

 as ovate. 



Feronia'J^Platysnia) vigils White, I. c. p. 3. 

 Nothing can be made of the superficial description given. 



Feronia {Platysma) poUtissima, White, I. c. p. 4. 

 Port Nicholson. 

 The same remark as above ajoplies to this species. 



3£olo2^sida polita, White, I. c. p. 6. 

 Waikouaiti. 



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

 genus and species in the British Museum. 



Alogus monachicus, Motsch. Bull. Mosc. 1865, iv,, p. 245. 



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

 striole. Metathoracic episterua 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 Motschulsky's description. 



Cerahilia maori, Castelnau, I. c. p.' 202. 



Dunedin. 



Belongs to the Feronia group, according to the author j but the mentum 

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

 lines long, brown, and elytra feebly striated. 



lihahdotus rejlexus, Chaud. Bull. Mosc. 1865, iii. p. 94. 

 Notwithstanding the almost invariable accuracy of M. de Chaudoii*, I 

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

 seen are all from Tasmania.
