During the year 1916 six new genera and 102 species of New Zealand 

 beetles have been brought to our knowledge. Their names are recorded 

 in the following list. 



The new genera, Vidamodes, Chaetosomodes, Neoevas, and Euacalles 

 were instituted for the reception of species discovered by Mr. T. Hall ; 

 Exonastus for two from Mr. A. C. O'Connor; and Allocinops for one from 

 Mr. A. E. Brookes. 



More than half of the total number of species were secured by Mr. T. 

 Hall ; the next large collection, including some from Mr. Hamilton, of the 

 Dominion Museum, and Mr. W. G. Howes, of Dunedin, came from 

 Mr. A. C. O'Connor, of Wellington ; Mr. A. E. Brookes, of Mount 

 Albert, Mr. A. Philpott, of Invercargill, and Mr. Cuthbeit Fenwick, 

 of Dunedin, also contributed.
