Mr. S. ri. Scudder presented the following notice of a new 

 cave insect from New Zealand. 



The long limbed Locustarian of the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky 

 was described at about the same time by de Saussure and by myself 

 as a species of Rhaphidophora; subsequently I showed that this insect 

 was the type of a distinct genus, which I called Hadenoecus, and sug- 

 gested that one of the cave-Locustarians of Europe, which I had 

 never seen in nature, might belong to the same genus. Specimens 

 of each species received since then have shown both that Rhaphido- 

 phora palpata (Sulz.) Cbarp., belongs to Hadenoecus, and tiiat R. 

 cavicola (KoU.) Fisch., belongs to the genus Ceuthophilus; therefore 

 no true species of Rhaphidophora occurs eitlier in Europe or America. 



It gives me pleasure to announce an additional species of Haden- 

 oecus from quite another quarter of the globe. 



Hadencecus Edwardsii nov. sp. 



Body uniform brownish fuscous; front pale fuscous; palpi, tarsi and 

 apical third of tiblte pale; antennae brownish fuscous. Leno-th of 

 pronotum 6 °™-; of thoracic nota together 11.5 °"°-; of antennte 

 120"""-; of maxillary palpi 18.5 "°'-; of fore tibiae 23 ■"°'-; of hind 

 tibite 40 """■. 



One imperfect specimen of this species, much the largest of the 

 genus, was presented to me by my friend, Mr. Henry Edwards, who 

 captured it himself in a limestone cave at Collingwood, Massacre
