probably a distinct species, and I will take an early opportunity of 
defining and renaming the latter insect. 
Anchomenus colensonis, White.—This is an insect similar to A, 
helmsi and A. otagoensis, Bates, and I expect will prove to be the 
same as the latter, though I have not compared examples. 
Anchomenus deplanatus, White.—This is a species of Dicrochile, like 
D. subopacus ; but I have not compared the two species. 
= Feronia planiuscula, White.—This is the species so identified by 
ates. 
F. vigil, White.—This is otherwise unknown to me, but Mr. 
Wakefield has given me an example of an extremely similar insect 
from Wellington that, indeed, may notprove specifically different. 
Feroma capito, White.-—Extremely close to Tvichosternus sylvius, 
Bates, so that I am not sure the two will ultimately prove to be 
distinct. 
Fevoma politissima, White.—Thisis a peculiar Anchomenoid Péeros- 
tichus quite unknown to me; indeed, I have seen nothing like it 
from New Zealand. 
Fevonia vagepunctata, White.—This is, propably, as given by 
Bates, a synonym of Holcaspis subenea (Guer.) Bates. 
Fevonia elongella, White.—This has already been identified cor- 
rectly by Mr. Bates with a species apparently not uncommon 1n the 
eastern portion of the Southern Island, as it has reached us from 
Christchurch (Fereday) and Picton (Helms). 
Broscus cavenoides, WWhite.—The type ofthis species is not extant 
in the collection of the British Museum, but the individual alluded 
to by White as closely allied is in the collection, and bears White’s 
ticket to the preceding effect. 
Broscus eveus, White.—Judging from my memory of Ovegus in- 
@qualis, White’s species is the same as it. 
Oopterus votundicollis, White.—This is the insect so well-known to 
us as Cyclothovax insulans. 
Molopsida polita, White.-—After much search this species was 
discovered in the collection by Mr. Waterhouse. The insect is 
extremely similar to Tvopoptevus sulcicollis, Bates, but the example 
will requireto be cleaned and remounted before it can be thoroughly 
examined. 
Dorcus squamidorsis, White.—This is, according to the type, cor- 
rectly recorded in the Munich Catalogue as a synonym of Lissotes 
veticulatus. 
Dorcus punctulatus, White.—This we could not find in the Museum 
collection. 
Eusoma vossiit, White.-—The type of this is a species unknown to 
me, 
Prioscelida tenebrionoides, \WWhite.-—Has been correctly identified 
by Mr. F. Bates. 
Adelium harpaloides, White-—Also correctly known to us by 
Auckland specimens named by Mr. Bates. 
Titana evichsonii, White,—Correctly identified by Mr. Bates. 
This insect is more metallic in colour than the other New Zealand 
species of this genus known to me. 
~ Rhinaria sex-tuberculata, White.—This description has been cor- 
rectly identified, and on comparing White’s type with the Fabrician 
type of Curculio tridens, which is contained in the Banksian collec- 
tion at the British Museum, I find tke two to be the same species;
