DASCYLLIDA. 
1375. Cypvrobius undulatus, n.sp—Oviform, convex ; slightly 
glossy, dark brown, legs rufescent, tarsi and palpi yellowish, the 
first four or five antennal joints yellowish, the others infuscate. 
Head broad, obliquely curved from the eyes, produced beyond 
the base of the antenne, finely punctate, clothed with 
fulvous hairs. Pvothovax short, apex broadly rounded in the mid- 
dle, anterior angles obtuse, sides slightly curved, with sculpture 
and clothing similar to those of the head. Scuwutellum large, tri- 
angular. Elytva punctulate, with an irregularly shaped fascia, 
dilated laterally, in line with the posterior femora, and a more or 
less obvious sub-apical spot, composed of white hairs; the 
pubescence near the base and apex is bright yellow, the rest 
paler. Antenne longer than head and thorax, basal joints robust, 
2nd short, 3rd slender, and about as long as the 4th. Underside 
densely and finely sculptured and pubescent. The prosternal 
process projects considerably beyond the front coxe, is of nearly 
equal width throughout, with carinate margins. 
Length, nearly 2% lines ; breadth, nearly 1%. 
I captured two specimens on the Waitakerei Range. 
1376. Oyphanus mandibularis, n.sp.—Oblong, moderately convex 
transversely ; somewhat nitid, castaneous red, tarsi and trophi 
yellowish, covered with short fulvous hairs.. 
Head broad, distended behind the eyes, punctulated ; labrum 
excessively reduced, deeply emarginated, without the orthodox 
membranous space separating it from the forehead ; mandibles 
robust, tri-dentate inwardly, almost wholly exposed. Prothovax 
short, with explanated and rounded sides, its angles obtuse ; 
finely punctulated. L£lyiva densely and rugosely punctured, much 
more coarsely than the thorax, the suture and a linear lunate 
mark near the apex of each, blackish. Amntenne elongate, basal 
articulation thick, 2nd short and stout, 3rd _ scarcely half the 
length of the 4th, the others about equal. Labial pal: furcate. 
(Belongs to Cyphanus, but the labrum is so short that the 
mandibles are almost entirely visible from above). 
Length, 4 lines; breadth, 134. 
My specimen was found at Parua (Whangarei Harbour). 
1377. Veronatus antennalis, n.sp.—Elongate, oblong, transversely 
convex ; dark red, legs and antennee reddish ; clothed with yel- 
lowish hairs,
