Holotype, $ , Ohakune, altitude 20G0 feet, October 10, 

 1921 (T. R. Harris). 



Amphinenrus harrisi is named in honour of the collector, 

 ]\rr. T. R. Harris, to whom I am very greatly indebted for 

 many crane-flies from New Zealand. It belongs to the 

 group oi A. insuhus (Hutton), as does A. horni, Edwards, and 

 the two species next described. A. horni has a wide range 

 in New Zealand, from Ohakune in the North Island to 

 Dunedin in the southern part of the South Island. 



Amphineurus recurvans, sp. n. 



^^aIe. — Length about -1*2 mm.; wing 6'3-6"5 mm. 

 Generally similar to A. harrisi, differing as follows: — 

 Size of body slightly smaller. Pronotal scutellum light 

 yellow. Wings with cell M^ petiolate, the petiole a little 

 more than one-half the basal deflection of Cu^. The holo- 

 type has the wing narrower and more greyish than the Otira 

 paratype. In the latter specimen, the wings are tinged with 

 pale brown. Male hypopygium with the ninth tergite 

 appearing as two flattened black lobes, lying parallel, their 

 tips broadly rounded, the lobes separated from one another
