over /Australia and Tasmania. The record from the Philippines is almost 

 certainly a mistake. In Australia, QJchalia is (at least partly) car- 

 nivorous, preying on the larvae of Phalcenides glycine (the vine-moth), 

 and of Galeruca semipullata (the figleaf-beetle). 



Cermatuius, Stal. 



2. nasalis (Westwood). 



This also is scarcely endemic, as it is also found in Australia and 

 Tasmania. Schouteden figures it : pi. v, f. 6. Hudson, who figures the 

 nymph (Man. N.Z. Ent., pi. xx, f. 6a), notes it from "white rata" 

 ( Metrosidcros' scandens) . I seem to have another species in my collection, 

 but none of the material is in good enough condition for description. I 

 have recorded C. nasalis from French Pass and Stephen Island. 



Glaucias, Kirkaldy. 



3. omyoti (White) = Nezara avioyti, {I), Hutton. 



This also is an Australian species, and not endemic. I have recorded 

 it from French Pass. 



Nezara, Am. and Serv. 



4. viridida (Linn.) = jyrasina, Hutton. 



Not endemic, but a practically cosmopolitan species, figured in Wolff's 

 Icon. Cim. 56, f. 53 (as smaragdula). 



Diemenia, Spiuola(= Platycorls, Hutton). 



5. imma7Xjinata (Dallas). 

 Another Australian form. 



[Sciocoris, Fallen. 



helferi, Fieber. A southern European species, recorded almost 

 certainly in error from New Zealand.] 



Dictyotus, Dallas. 



6. coznosus (Westwood) = ■poiysticticus, Hutton. 



Distributed over Australia and Tasmania. I have recorded it from 

 French Pass. 



Rhopalimorpha, ^layr. 



7. obscura, Dallas. 



This species seems to be autochthonous. I have recorded it from 

 French Pass and Chatham Island. 



8. ignota, Hutton, 1898. 



From the Chatham Islands. 



Oncacontias, Breddin (= Anubis, Hutton). 



9. vittatus (Fabricius). 



Apparently also autochthonous. 



[Calliphara, Germar. 

 imperialis (Fsihnc'ms). An Australian species, whose presence in 

 New Zealand requires confirmation ; certainly not endemic. 

 It is figured in Donovan's Ins. New Holland, pi. iii, f. 2.]
