furnished with long hairs. Intermediate appendages (or 

 penis-cover?), viewed from above, consoUdated into a broad 

 elongate plate, canaliculate above, deeply notched at the 

 apex, furnished with very long hairs. Inferior appendages 

 2-branched, the branches distant, stout and cylindrical, curved 

 so as to leave a semicircular space between them. Length of 

 body, 7 mm. ; expanse of wings, 28 mm. 



Locality. — Wellington. 



Female. — Like the male, but the body darker, and the 

 anterior wings yellower. A sharp, broad, triangular tooth on 

 the antepenultimate ventral segment. Margin of the last 

 dorsal segment nearly straight and slightly excised in its 

 middle. Tubular piece forming two small, broad, triangular, 

 obtuse lobes, if viewed laterally, but open above and beneath. 

 Length of body, 10 mm. ; expanse of wings, 33 mm. 



Locality. — Mount Arthur, Nelson ; 2,800 ft.-4,500 ft. above

Genus Olinga, McLachlan (1894).

Antennae slightly shorter than the wings, stout, the basal 

 joint very long and thick, fringed beneath with long and strong 

 hairs ; vertex small, with very long hairs at the sides, turned 

 upwards ; maxillary palpi apparently 2- jointed, curved over 

 the face, short and subcylindrical ; labial palpi long. Pro- 

 thorax hidden, meso- and meta-thorax scarcely hairy, shining ; 

 the former long, narrowed posteriorly, with a broad concave 

 space in the middle above ; the metathorax is much narrower, 

 also with a concave median space, in the centre of the pos- 

 terior portion of which is a triangular meta-scutellum. Legs 

 moderately long and slender, pubescent, the tibiae with 

 stronger and spine-like hairs, spurs 2.2.4, furnished with spine- 

 like adpressed hairs similar to those on the tibia, the two pairs 

 on the posterior tibiae very long and near together ; tarsi long. 

 Anterior wings narrow at the base, the apex widely dilated, 

 the apical margin oblique ; neuration indistinct, subcosta 

 straight, the radius parallel, the two branches of the sector 

 ending in long forks, which are connected by a transverse ner- 

 vule, the whole membrane thickly coated with scales above. 

 Posterior wings shorter, obtusely rounded at the apex, broad, 

 the dorsal margin with a long fringe near the base, the mem- 

 brane witli procumbent hairs. Abdomen short and slender ; 

 a forked lobe proceeds from the middle of the last segment 

 above ; the penultimate segment is furnished beneath with a 

 broad and obtuse lobe, extending beyond the apex in the 

 male.
