The New Zealand endemic click beetle genus Amychus Pascoe (Elateridae: Denticollinae: Ctenicerini) is revised. Three species are recognised: A. candezei Pascoe, A. granulatus (Broun) and A. manawatawhi, sp. nov. All species are described or redescribed from the adults. The larva of each species and the pupa of A. candezei are described for the first time. Lectotypes are designated for A. candezei Pascoe and A. granulatus ( Broun). Keys to species for adults and larvae are given. The phylogenetic placement of the genus, biology and conservation of the species are discussed.
