IbounJary making it difficult to ascertain their exact pro- 

 portions dorsally. In every tarsus the outer or posterior 

 claw is narrow and hooked, the inner broad and obtuse. 

 Costal shoulder of the hind -wing obtuse;

Although the genus Anuletus was published in op. cit. 

 at pp. 201 and 210 (1885) with illustrations {cf. footnote 

 ante under Colohuriscus), it was only while writing the 

 present article that this species was recognised as one of 

 it. The subimago, of which a wing is now figured, is 

 referred to here on account of the leg-markings ; the colour 

 of the wings seems to have been modified to some extent 

 by the killing-bottle.

Ameletus perscitus, sp. nov. 



Subimago (dried). — Wings and setse dull light yellowish, nearly 

 of the same tint as those of Heptagenia sulphurea. Abdomen of a 

 very light yellowish ochre, with a dull longitudinal median dorsal 

 purplish stripe, extending from the base nearly to the last segment, 

 strongly contrasted with the ground colour. This stripe is composed 

 of concatenated spots (perhaps truncated triangles) wide behind, and 

 somewhat blackened at the overlapping apical borders of the segments 

 on each side of a small pale median apical spot : hence it might be 

 described as serrated on each side. Venter spotless. 



Imago (dried) $ . — Wings vitreous, tinted with light yellowish 

 green ; neuration olive brown, shifting to pitch-brown and olive green 

 with change of stand-point : cross-veinlets numerous in the marginal 

 area ; those in the pterostigmatic portion branched towards the costa 

 and anastomosing. Anterior legs of rather a browner light yellowish 

 colour than the hinder ; these tending rather towards yellowish 

 amber ; the apical edges of the tarsal joints narrowly blackened, and 

 the last two joints in the fore tarsus, or three joints in the hinder, 

 tinged to a large extentwith dark grey. Length of wing 18 — 20 mm.

N.B. — This is the species figured and described (without name) 

 by Mr. Hudson in his Manual of New Zealand Entomology, p. 105, 

 pi. xvi, fig. 4.
