I.—A new Species of Munna from New Zealand. 
By Cuar es CuItTon, M.A., B.Sc. 
[ Plates I. & IT.] 
THE genus Munna was established in 1839 by Kroyer; but 
as yet only a comparatively small number of species appear 
to be known. Beddard, writing in 1886, says that only five 
species were then known, all of them being inhabitants of the 
shallow water off the coasts of Great Britain, Norway, North 
America, &c.* He adds two species, M. maculata and M. 
pallida, both obtained from shallow water off Kerguelen Land 
during the ‘ Challenger’ Expedition. Hach of his species is 
remarkable for some point: J/. pallida has the eyes without 
the appreciable stalks found in other species, and in JZ, macu- 
lata the male has the same form of body as the female and is 
not narrowed and elongated as in some of the other species 
of the genus. 
I am now able to add another species, found between tide- 
marks on the coasts of New Zealand. As in JZ. maculata, 
the male has the same form of body as the female ; the species 
appears to differ from the others hitherto described in having 
the first pair of thoracic appendages of the male very large
