Hepialus virescens. 



From burrows observed in tbe trunks of Melicope simplex and other 

 trees, this must be an abundant insect in its season. 



Porina signata. 



Common at light. 



Neuroptera. 



This order was very well represented by several large and interesting 

 species. 



Leptoperla grandis. 



One specimen of this large new species was discovered by Mrs. 

 Hudson near the Manga whero Eiver, and is described in a separate paper 

 {ante. p. 51). 



Heteroperla cyrene. 

 Rare. 



Sympetrum bipunctatum. 



A very fine series of this brilliant red species, which I had not seen 

 since 1887, was obtained round a large pond in the forest, where, in fact, 

 all the species of dragon-flies known to me occurred in some numbers. 



Sympetrum ? 



This delicate yellow species was also common. 



Uropetala carovei. 



This large and conspicuous insect was fairly common. 



Somatochlora smithii. 

 Fairly common. 



Aeschna brevistyla. 



.Of this very rapid-flying local species we secured a good series. 



Lestes colensonis. 

 Xanthagrion zealandica. 



Both these small dragon-flies were abundant, as usual. 



Ichthybotus hudsoni. 

 Coloburiscus humeralis. 

 Several seen.
