like iV". ferns, but is longer, and the apex of the membrane seems to be 

 less rounded, tlie prouotum is longer, and less and more gradually 

 widened, &c. 



47. iV". maoricus, "Wlkr. 



Only known to me by the description, from which it appears to 

 be a species distinct from No. 46, though said to be also allied to N. 

 ferus. It is described as having an entirely pale scutellum and four 

 black spots on the hemielytra. 



Tribe SALDINA. 

 In addition to Salda austraUs, Buch. White (E. M. M., xiii, 106), 

 three, other New Zealand species are before me, but not in sufficient 

 numbers or condition to admit of anything like complete descriptious. 

 They may, however, be thus indicated — 



48. Salda austraUs, Buch. White. 



Belongs to the same section, in Stal's " Enumeratio," as ;S^. salta- 

 toria.

49. S. Butleri, n. sp. 



Long-oval, black, with short unicolorous hairs and scattered golden hairs ; the

 first nerve, two confluent spots interior to the nerve, and five or six spots on the 

 apical half of the corium, bro\^^^ish-yellow ; membrane brownish-fuscous, spotted 

 with paler in the cells, the nerves darker, especially at the base, and the outer side 

 of the first cell strongly margined with black ; sides of abdomen below, and last 

 segment, broadly pale. Pronotum broadly semilunar, with dilated and subreflexed 

 side margins ; scutellum large ; membrane well defined, large, with four cells. 



Length, 5 mm. 



Professor Hutton (one esample). Belongs to the section of S. 

 coxalis.

Too immature to determine, but evidently allied to the last. 

 Professor Hutton (several specimens). 



51. S. Icslaps, n. sjj. 



Shortly obovate, black, with black and golden hairs ; the clypeus, sometimes 

 the hinder part of the hind margins of the pronotum, and a variable immber of

 baud at the middle of the femora, and the apex of the tibite and of the tarsi, 

 blackish ; sides of pronotum somewhat dilated and narrowly reflexed ; membrane 

 small, rather coriaceous, and hence not well defined, with four cells, of which the 

 inmost one is very short.
