XVI. — Descriptions of New Zealand Species of Pselaphidae 

 fruni Dr. Shai'p's Collection in the British Museum. By 

 Major T. Broun, F.E.S. 



A PAPER containing descriptions of new species of Faronini 

 was forwarded to London for publication about two months 

 ago. The present one deals principally with the Euplectiui ; 

 but seven or eight species of the genus Euplectopsis must 

 remain without names at present, as ]\I. Ach. Rattray has 

 in his possession, from Greymouth, several closely allied, 

 perhaps identical, species which he may have described at 

 ilome.
