Rather dull brown, the upper surface as well as the antennse and legs with pale 

 brown hairs, the under-side shining pitchy-brown. The head (except the extreme 

 apex), anterior part of the pronotum, and some streaks on the elytra as well as the 

 membrane, darker brown ; the antennse (except the basal joint) , rostrum, legs (fe- 

 mora excepted), and veins of the membrane, yellow-brown. Rather remotely and 

 coarsely punctured, except on the somewhat wrinkled head, a transverse band before 

 the middle of the pronotum, a small space witliin the inner angle of the corium, the 

 middle of the sternum behind, and the under-side of the hind body, which are im- 

 punctate. The 1st joint of the antennse gradually from the base to the middle, and 

 the 2nd and 3rd at the apex, thickened, the 4th cylindrical, the 2nd longer than 

 the 3rd. <? ? . Length, 6, breadth, 2 mm.

27. Phijmata Feredayi, Scott. 



28. P. conspicua, Scott. I have not seen either of these. 



Tribe AEADINA. 



The names of five supposed species of this section have been re- 

 corded ; but two of these seem to be only synonyms. I am able to 

 add another species to the list. 



29. Aradus australis, Er. ? 



Erichson's description (made from a mutilated specimen) is so 

 very short, that I am not certain that the New Zealand species is 

 identical with the Tasmanian. If it is not the same, it is very closely 

 allied.
