I may here add that in the memoir read before the 

 Entomological Society of London by Dr. Sharp on the 2nd 

 November, 1874, six New Zealand species of Bryaxis were 

 described ; but the author considered that ultimately it would 

 be correct to establish two new genera for their reception. It 

 is certain therefore that the thirty-six species now known, 

 and which I have divided into seven sections, will have to 

 be located in at least three distinct genera.
