 By G. V. Hudson, F.E.S. 



[Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, 20th September, 1693.] 



1. Stenosmylus incisus, McLachlan. 



Mr. Hudson had taken single specimens of this lovely in- 

 sect at various localities in the vicinity of Wellington from the 

 year 1886 down to the present time. The species occurs 

 amongst ferns and undergrowth in dense forests, generally at 

 the bottom of deep ravines. 



2. Stenosmylus citrinus, McLachlan. 



This closely allied, but much rarer, species appears to be 

 restricted to the forest-gully at the back of the Khandallah 

 Eailway-station, where five specimens have occurred, four last 

 November, and one m December, 1889. The precise locality 

 of the type-specimen is not mentioned by Mr. McLachlan. 



3. A new (?) species. 



Apparently closely allied to Stenosmylus. Taken at the 

 source of the Eiver Pearse, on the track to the tableland of 

 Mount Arthur (Nelson District), January, 1889. 



4. Another new (?) species of Stenosmylus (?). 



Taken in the Orongorongo Valley, Wellington, January, 

 1892. These are both represented by single specimens; but
