Genus Stolotermes, Hagen.

Perlidae. 



Genus Stenoperla, M'Lachlan. 



4. Stenoperla prasina, Newman. 



Chloroperla prasina, Newman, Zoologist, 1845, p. 853 * Hermes pra- 

 sinus, Walk. Brit. Mus. Cat. Neuropt. pt. ii. p. 206. Stenoperla pra- 

 sina, M'Lachl. Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 3, vol. v. p. 354 * 



Genus Perla, Geoffroy. 

 5. Perla (?) Cyrene, Newman. 



Chloroperla Cyrene, Newman, Zoologist, 1845, p. 853* Perla (?) Cy- 

 rene, Walk. Brit. Mus. Cat. Neuropt. pt. i. p. 168. 



This insect is certainly not a Chloroperla, nor is it a Perla 

 as restricted. The wings are densely reticulate with cross 

 veinlets. I have seen no examples in good condition. 



Genus Leptoperla, Newman. 



6. Leptoperla opposita, Walker (?). 



Perla opposita, Walk. Brit. Mus. Cat. Neuropt. pt. i. p. 171. 



Walker mentions two examples from Van Diemen's Land 

 and one from New Zealand ; but I much doubt if this latter 

 is specifically identical with those from Tasmania. 



I have seen two or three more species of Perlidae from New 

 Zealand, but await additional information before describing 

 them. One is an insect with the fades of Nemoura or Tcenio- 

 pteryx, but with short caudal setae. 



Ephemeridae. 



Genus Leptophlebia, Westwood ; 

 Eaton, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1871, p. 77.
