The presence ol" ordinary-looking small ITuHcti in the most 

 remote regions is rather remarkable. The following are from 

 New Zealand and Christmas Island (Indian Ocean). The 

 latter locality does not belong to the Australian region, but 

 it is so near tu it that its species are of interest in the present 

 connexion. 



Ilalictus Smitliii, D. T. [famiJiaris, Sm.), ? (T.). New 

 Zealand. — Ordinary-looking small black species; hind 

 spur simple; stigma fulvous; first r. n. meets second 

 t. c. ; basal nervure very strongly bent. 



//. surdidus, Sm., ? (T.). New Zealand. — Ordinary small 

 species; head and thorax black, abdomen very dark 

 reddish brown; first r. n. joins second s. m. a short 

 distance before its end. 



//. Biughamij W. F. Kirby, ? (T.). Christmas Island. — 

 Ordinary-looking small black species; hind spur with 

 very few spines; area large, with fine raised lines, like 

 the veining of a fern-leaf ; second and third abdominal 

 segments with basal hair-bands ; third s. m. rather large, 

 but its outer side with only a single gentle curve. 



7/. Andrewsi, W. F. Kirby, ? (T.). Christmas Island.— 

 Smaller than Buig/uinu ; yellowish green, with red 

 legs; venation of Chloralictus ; hind spur with few long 

 saw-like teeth.
