Insects of New Zealand. 33 



Genus Stolotermes, Hagen. 



3. Stolotermes rujiceps^ Brauer. 

 Stolotermes rvficeps, Brauer, Reise der ' Novara,' Neurop. p. 46.* 



PerlidsB. 



Genus Stenoperla, M'Laclilan. 



4. Steno2)erla prasinaj 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- 

 7-ene, Walk. Brit. Mus. Cat. Neuropt. pt. i. p. 168. 



This insect is certainly not a Chloroperla^ nor is it a Ferla 

 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, o])posita, 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 Perlidai from New 

 Zealand, but await additional information before describing 

 them. One is an insect with the fades oi Nemoura or Tcento- 

 pteryXy but with short caudal setae. 



Ephemeridae.
