P.S. — Eecently I have received from Mr. A. Hamilton, Director of 

 the Dominion Museum, Wellington, a small box of Hemiptera, contain- 

 ing, with other species, a specimen of Dindymus versicolor, an addition to 

 the Maoiian fauna. It is distributed over Australia and Tasmania, and 

 is therefore not likely to be endemic, but has probably been introduced 

 with fruit or fruit-trees. It belongs to the family Pyrihocoridce (not 

 previously known from ISew Zealand), which may be recognised by the 

 antennae being inserted low down on the head, by the absence of ocelli, 

 by the numerous veins on the membrane, SiC. 



In Dindymus versicolor, H.-S., the head, antennae (mostly), legs, 

 anterior area of pronotum, scutellum, apical margin of tegmina broadly, 

 pygophor beneath, black ; rest of pronotum and of tegmina brownish-red; 

 sterna and pleura mostly red; abdomen beneath pale-yellow. Length, 

 about 12 mm. 



In the collection was also a specimen of Nysius auceps, White, which 

 belong to the subgenus Nitliecus, Horvath, if this is indeed a natural one. 

 The species may, as White suggests, have a macropterous form.
