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 Amheodontus ; 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 

 D idymocantha. 



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

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

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

 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 j 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. 



Didymocantha diver sicornis. 



Callidium diversicornis, White, Voy. Ereb. & Terr. p. 20. 



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

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

 spots on the elytra.

Genus Phlyctcenodi affine, a quo differt capite ante oculos magis elongato, 

 quadrato, palpis gracilibus filiformibus etc. Corpus elongatum, gracile. Caput 

 exsertum, antice paulo elongatum, lateribus parallelis ; tubera antennifera 

 fortiter oblique elevata. "Palpi articulis terminalibus haud dilatatis. Antennae 

 subtiliter ciliatse, scapo gracili, clavato, quam articulo tertio vel quarto 

 longiore ; articulus quintus precedente et sequente longior. Thorax antice 

 constrictus, supra insequalis, haud distincte tuberculatus, spina laterali validis- 

 sima. Elytra costata, apice acute rotundata. Pedes modice elongati ; femora 

 vix incrassata. Prosternum inter coxas exsertas angustum ; acetabula inter- 

 media extus aperta. 



Founded on Ceramhyx strigipennis, Westwood, which White referred with 

 doubt to Phlyctoinodes, but which difiers in all essential points from that
