Hab. New Zealand (South Island). Holotype, cf , Blackball, 

 West Coast, December 1916 (J. W. Campbell). Allotopotype, 9, 

 December, 1917. Paratopotype, Sex?, with the type. 



Macromastix lunata fuscolatera, subsp. n. 

 Female. — Length about 12 mm.; wing 16.5 mm. 

 In general appearance, very similar to M. lunata Hutton, 

 differing as follows: 



Head and thorax with the erect, pale hairs much less conspicuous 

 than in lunata, these being short and subappressed. 



Head dark brown, the lateral margins of the vertex adjoining the 

 eyes broadly ochreous. Mesonotal prsescutum light gray with three 

 distinct, dark brown stripes, the broad median stripe narrowly split by 

 a capillary pale line; scutal lobes with dark centers; remainder of 

 mesonotum and the pleura light gray. Legs with the coxse gray; tro- 

 chanters yellow; femora and tibiae light yellowish brown, the tips dark; 

 tarsi dark brown. Wings brown, the stigma darker; wing-tip entirely 

 dark; an interrupt-ed subhyaline, lunate band in cell M, the proximal 

 end barely extending into cell R, the distal end occupying the outer end 

 of cell R, this subhyaline band narrowly interrupted across cell M; cell 

 i?? clear except the extreme outer angle; basal half of cell R^ subhyaline; 

 bases of cells Cu, 1st A and 2nd A pale. Venation: cell 2nd A naiTower 

 than in lunata. 



Abdomen with the four basal tergites dull rufous, with three very 

 broad and conspicuous blackish stripes; extreme lateral margins of 

 these tergites, and the succeeding segments, dusted with gray, more 

 whitish on the lateral margins of tergites five and six. In typical lunata, 

 the erect setae on the head and thorax are much more conspicuous; 

 basal abdominal tergites unmarked except medially; basal half of ter- 

 gite two clear gra}-, in marked contrast to the posterior half and the 

 other basal tergites. I have before me one of Hutton's paratypes of 

 lunata, through the kindness of Mr. R. Speight. It is possible that the 

 male of this species will be found to have short antennfe, in which case 

 the form would take full specific rank. 



Hab. New Zealand (North Island). Holotype, 9, Mt. 

 Ruapehu, alpine zone, 4000-5000 feet, January, 1921 {M. N. 

 Watt). "In thick bush." 



Macromastix intermedia, sp. n. 



General color gray, the praescutum with four brown stripes; 

 wings comparatively long and narrow, dark brown, with a 

 subhyaline vitta extending from before midlength of the wing 

 in cells R and M, through the bases of cells R^ and R^ to the 

 margin, narrowly interrupted along the cord; cells Afi, 2nd M2
