Long, corp. lin. 9. 
Inhabits Port Nicholson, New Zealand. Mus. Parry, 
This curious species differs from all the other Lamise, and some¬ 
what approaches Tmesisternus in the form of the head. I am not, 
however, sufficient!}^ acquainted with the distribution of the Longi- 
corn beetles to warrant my proposing a new genus for its reception. 
The head (fig. 5 a) is rather elongated behind the eyes, with the 
front part nearly perpendicular; it has tw^o whitish lines behind; 
the palpi are short (fig. *) with the extremity rather pointed; the 
antennse are 11-jointed, the third joint being the longest, and all 
the joints being fringed on the outside with hairs, alternately 
coloured as the joints themselves, the bases of which are white and 
the extremities black. The thorax is nearly rounded, with the 
sides unarmed; the elytra are convex, the humeral angles pro¬ 
minent, and the hind part much attenuated and deflexed; the tips 
not spined but pilose ; along each run four slender, fulvous, elevated 
costse, which do not extend to the tip ; the middle of the elytra 
are ornamented with t\vo interrupted black fasci® ; the legs are 
varied with black and whitish colours, the extremity of the tibise 
being externally setose.
