MB. E. M'LACULAN on NEW-25EALAND TRICHOPTERA. 203 



Head — antennee whitish cinereous, each joint after the two basal ones 

 black in its upper portion ; towards the apex they are almost entirely 

 black, the basal portion of each joint retaining a narrow cinereous 

 ring : vertex and face thickly clothed with long cinereous hairs : 

 maxillary palpi fuscous, clothed with cinereous hairs; first joint 

 short, second and third very long and equal, fourth short, fifth longer 

 than the fourth. 

 Thorax — mesothorax longly ovate, dull black, a depressed space in the 

 centre filled with cinereous hairs ; metathorax small, blackish fuscous, 

 hairless. 

 Wings — anterior wings long and narrow, scarcely dilated towards the 

 apex, densely clothed with pale cinereous hairs, and with blackish 

 dots placed pretty regularly on the veins ; two elongate blackish 

 spots on the dorsal mai-gin, a large apical blotch obscurely blackish ; 

 fringes cinereous and blackish ; neuration similar to that of the 

 European species ( $ ) : posterior wings smoky grey, rather densely 

 hairy ; neuration fuscous ; the discoiilal cell is closed ; the upper 

 branch of the ramus discoidalis forked at the end, the lower simple ; 

 the ramus subdiscoidalis is twice forked at the end, as in the ramus 

 thyrifer of the anterior wings ( $ ) of European species. 

 Legs pale yellowish cinereous, with fuscous coxae. 



Abdomen brownish, the last segments beneath form an impressed, 

 shining, flattened space ; above are two small obtuse, hairy, yellow 

 appendices. ( $ .) 

 Christchurch, Canterbury (Fereday) ; 1 $ in very good condition. 

 So far as the general characters aud the neuration of the ante- 

 rior wings are concerned, this species presents no apparent generic 

 difference from the European species of Leptocerus ; but it w ill 

 have been seen that the ueuratiou of the posterior wings is some- 

 what aberrant ; and from that cause I have referred it doubtfully 

 to this genus.
