NEW SPECIES OF CURCULIONIDA. 435 
Length (rost. excl.), 114 ; breadth, % line. 
My specimen was found at Northcote (Waitemata Harbour). 
Cenophanus,n.gen.-- Rostvum moderate, sub-cylindrical, arcuated, 
slightly expanded in front ; scvobes sub-apical, oblique. Antenne 
moderate, implanted near the apex ; scafe flexuose, gradually in- 
crassated ; funiculus 7-articulate, two first joints elongate, equal, 
joints 3-7 obconical, decreasing in length ; club elongate-oval, 3- 
jointed. Eyes distant from thorax and one another, longitudinally 
oval, distinctly facetted, prominent. Pvothovaxz sub-conical, small, 
constricted anteriorly, base and apex truncate, rounded laterally. 
Scutellum minute, oblong. lytva oviform, thrice the length of, 
and broader than, the thorax at the base. JZegs stout; anterior 
femora so clavate as to appear notched at the extremity; the 
thickening of the intermediate ending acutely, yet not quite 
dentate ; the posterior laterally compressed and strongly and 
acutely protuberant below ; tibie stout, flexuous, the hind pair 
considerably ridged longitudinally, and cavernose at the ex- 
tremity ; ¢avsi rather broad, their two basal joints triangular, the 
penultimate expanded and truly bi-lobed, being cleft to the base. 
Related to Hugnomus, but the eyes, tibize, and hind-body pre- 
sent disparities of structure ; the latter is far more elongate and 
narrowed towards the front. 
No. 820 should be located at the end of the Eugnomii, so as 
to become known as Hugnomus squamosus, and to form a connecting 
link between that genus and Cenophanus; ultimately it may be 
made the type of a new genus. 
1419. Cenophanus flavipilus, n.sp.—Elongate, elliptical, slightly 
convex; a little glossy, chestnut-red, legs and antenne red, 
clothed with yellow hairs. 
Rostvum punctate, indistinctly tri-carinate, apex blackish. 
Head punctate, dilated behind. Pvrothovax about as long as broad, 
contracted in front, its sides rounded; closely punctured, with a 
few elongate scales at base. Flytva truncate at, and narrowed 
towards, the base, humeral angles oblique, widest behind the 
middle, not greatly attenuated behind, elongate-oval ; punctate- 
striate, interstices as broad as the punctures; their clothing rather 
dense, consisting of fine and coarse hairs, the latter not very 
numerous and seeming to form lines on the interstices. Legs 
robust, pilose. 
Mength (fost. incl.),:3; breadth; 1 line. 
The only specimen I have seen was taken by Mr. T. F. 
Cheeseman, on Mount Arthur. 
SCOLOPTERIDA. 
1420. Ancistropterus prasinus, n.sp.—Elongate; head and thorax 
obscurely coloured, the latter greenish, elytra and most of the 
legs green, tarsi and antennz rufo-testaceous, club infuscate. 
Rostrum cylindrical, sparingly clothed with yellow hairs, 
punctated. Head punctate, clothed like the beak, twice as broad
