white lunule of the eljtra being represented by a subapical 

 spot. 



The locality " New Zealand " given to this species rests on 

 the assurance of a dealer, who was told bj the sui'geon of a 

 whaling- ship that it was taken there. I have seen no speci- 

 men of it. 



Cicindela Parryi*, White, Voj. Ereb. & Terr., Ins. p. 1, 

 t. i. f. 2. 



Port Nicholson ; Christchurch. 



Cicindela dunedensis^ Castelnan, Trans. R. Soc. Victoria, 

 pt. 1, vol. viii. p. 35. 



Diinedin. 



The author compares it to C. Parryi^ from which it differs 

 by being narrower. It is " light brown, the elytra covered 

 with spots of a green copper-colour." In this respect it differs 

 much from C. Wakejieldi. 



Cicindela Feredayi^ Bates, Entom. Monthly Mag. 

 vol. iv. p. 53 (1867). 



Mr. Wakefield has recently met with this species in numbers 

 on the sandy bed of the Rakaia near Christchm'ch. It is 

 distinct from all the members of the tuherculata group, in its 

 finely granulated elytra without traces of green foveoles. 



Family Carabidae. 

 Section A. Mesothoracic epimera reaching the middle coxce. 



Subfamily Migabopin^. 



Amarotypus Edwardsii, Bates, Entom. Monthly Mag. 

 vpLix. p. 51 (1872). 



I have only seen of this curious insect the specimens sent 

 me by Mr. H. Edwards, who took it in New Zealand *. 



Subfamily Scabitin^. 



Clivina rugithorax^ Putzeys, Stett. Zeit. 1866, p. 37. 



A large species (nearly 5 lines), closely allied to a common 

 Australian species, C. australasiw, Boh. I have not yet seen 

 it. 



* Ilelcrodacf.yhis nehrioides, Gu^r. (Pristancyhis castaneus, Blancb.), from 

 the Auckland Islands, is another member of this very interesting ant- 

 arctic group of Carabida). Pristancylus brevis, Blanch., from the same 

 locality, is doubtful.
