Munna from New Zealand. 7 
densely covered with sete, a few being placed also at the 
outer distal angle ; the propodos is narrow and about as long 
as the carpus is broad ; it expands slightly distally, curves 
inwards, and bears long sete on both margins; the dactylos 
is less than half as long as the propodos, and ends in two 
long stout sete. 
The legs of the first pair (Plates I. and II. figs. 8 a, 8 4, 8, 
8d) are very different in shape in the two sexes. It will be 
convenient to describe those of the female first, as they are the 
more normal in shape. ‘The dasos (see fig. 8a) is subrec- 
tangular and about twice as long as broad, the dschios is 
about as long as the basos but slightly narrower, the meros is 
triangular, expanding distally, the antero-distal angle slightly 
produced and bearing asingle stout seta, a few sete being also 
present on the posterior margin ; the carpus is also triangular, 
but is larger and broader and has the postero-distal angle 
produced, the distal end of the joint being straight but 
oblique; there are a few fine sete on the anterior margin and 
the posterior margin is supplied with about six stout spini- 
form sete and a few fine scattered hairs; the propodos is 
considerably narrower than the carpus, but of about the same 
length, the anterior margin is convex and bears several fine 
sete, there are usually a few also on the posterior margin and 
at the end, the largest being situated at the rounded postero- 
distal angle; the dactylos with the claws is as long as the 
posterior margin of the propodos, it bears a few tine sete, and 
ends in two distinct claws, the outer one fully twice as large 
as the inner. 
From the figure and description given it would appear that 
the first pair of legs in the female in this species is not very 
dissimilar from that of Munna Kréyert, Goodsir, as drawn 
and described by Bate and Westwood, though they state 
that only the male of that species is known, and their figure 
would therefore presumably apply to the male. 
In the male the first pair of legs are very large and 
peculiar in shape. The first joint (fig. 8d), which might at 
first sight be taken for the covos (epimeron), but is really the 
basos, is very short and small, and from it arises a very large 
aschios. ‘Vis joint is large and subrectangular, not quite 
twice as long as broad, and the whole joint is filled with a 
very powertul muscle, which moves the next joint and with 
it the remainder of the limb. In front the ischios is deeply 
grooved and receives the distal portion of the limb when bent 
back ; at the base it is the inner portion of the ischios that is 
produced forwards, while at the distal end the outer portion
