Hilgendorf. — A List of N.Z. Eotifera. 271 



Genus Monostyla. 

 M. cornuta (H. and G., ii., p. 98) : Lincoln College. 

 H. lunaris (H. and G., ii., p. 98) : Waihola Lake. 



Family Colurid.ej. 

 Genus Colurus. 

 C. amblytelus or caudatus (H. and G., ii., p. 104). 



I have found several specimens of one of these species at 

 Lincoln College. All my specimens, however, showed two 

 minute eyes, cervical or frontal, while the ventral opening of 

 the lorica showed all gradations from the gradual opening 

 figured by Gosse in caudatus to the sudden circular opening 

 figured in amblytelus. 



Genus Metopidia. 



M. acuminata (H. and G., ii., p. 107) : Taieri Beach. 

 M. solidus (H. and G., ii., p. 106). 



This is by far the commonest species over the whole of 

 these Islands. My variety latusinus was again met with. 

 The M. ovalis, of Anderson and Shephard (Roy. Soc. Victoria, 

 vol. xiv., n.s., part i., p. 69, 1892), is evidently a variety 

 between my two varieties, and to bring the matter into line 

 either M. ovalis should be regarded as a variety or my latusinus 

 as a species. With the exception of M. ovalis, I have found 

 no connecting-links between solidus proper and latusinus. 



M. triptera (H. and G., ii., p. 108). 



This charming little animal is common in the neighbour- 

 hood of Lincoln. 



Family Pterodinid^. 

 Genus Pterodina. 

 P. patina (H. and G., ii., p. 112). 



This species I found in water squeezed out of swamp 

 moss near Lincoln, and in a small creek running into Lake 

 Waihola it was found in very large numbers. 



Family Anur^id^i. 

 Genus Anuraea. 

 A. hypelasma (H. and G., ii., p. 103) : Auckland. 



Genus Notholca. 

 N. jugosa (H. and G., Supplement, p. 56 ; Gosse, Journal 



R.M.S., 1887, p. 1) = N. regularis (mihi). Trans. N.Z. 



Inst., loc. cit. 



I have found at Lincoln many specimens of this species 

 showing gradations between the two varieties regularis and 

 jugosa.
