punctis sparsis impressis, non pubescens. 



Oculi mediocres, pauliim promineiites; ocelli dense con- 

 gregati subconfluentes, numero c. 24.

Patria : New-Zealand, at Howick. (Chilton in Mus. Dundee). 



Remarks. I have seen only one specimen, belonging to 

 the Museum at Dundee presented by Prof. Chilton, and 

 kindly sent me by Dr. Caiman. Prof. Chilton has also 

 kindly sent me two specimens of his Philoscia pubescens, 

 which seems to be very akin to Phil, mina B.-L., but the 

 bad and defective condition does not permit me to decide it 

 with certainty. I suppose that the specimens collected at 

 Howick, Auckland and Takapuna are belonging to Pseudoph. 

 fragilis, the specimens from Kenepuru, Marlborough are 

 Philosc. pubescens. 



3. Pseudophiloscia inflexa. 

 (Tab. VI &g. 1-4). 

 Elongata, angusta, convexiuscula.
