only by a deep and narrow U-shaped notch. Basal pleural 
appendage elongate, the tips very strongly recurved to appear 
like a shepherd’s crook; distal pleural appendages two in 
number, one a flattened black blade that bears ou its lateral 
angle a long, divergent, black spine (thumb); the second 
apical appendage is a slender pale rod that is feebly bent 
near mid-length. Gonapophyses appearing as two parallel 
blades that suggest in appearance a bird, the beak being the 
terminal black spine, the dorsal margin or back being micro- 
scopically toothed.

Amphineurus otagensis, sp. n. 
Male.—Length 3°8-4 mm. ; wing 6-6°5 mm. 
Generally similar to A. harrisi, differing as follows :— 
Average size of body a little smaller. Antenne of male 
considerably longer than the body. Basal deflection of Cu, 
before the fork of M, the distance a little greater than the 
basal deflection of M,,,; cell MM; petiolate, the petiole only 
a little shorter than the basal deflection of Cu,;. Male hypo- 
pygium with the ninth tergite somewhat as in A. recurvans, 
cousisting of two straight rods that are feebly divergent ; 
these rods are relatively very long and slender, the tips sub- 
acute ; space separating the rods U-shaped. Pleurites pro- 
duced into elongate, setiferous, digitiform lobes as in the 
genus. Basal pleural appendage a long, slender, acicular 
rod, very gently curved, tapering gradually to the acute 
blackened apex ; apical pleural appendages two, one slender, 
rod-like, weakly sinuous, the second a large flattened blade 
that bears the usual lateral divergent spine (thumb), and, 
in addition, a smaller, more obtuse spine near the mid- 
distance to the apex, lying in the angle of the thumb; apex 
of this blade acute, blackened. Gonapophyses a little shorter 
than the penis-guard, tapering to the acute blackened tips, 
guard relatively slender, straight, on either side produced 
into a somewhat flaring wing.
