230 Transactions.—Zoology, 
I propose for this insect the name of Diapria coccophaga. 
In colour the insect, to the naked eye, is black; under the microscope 
the vertex of the head is green, the eyes red, the thorax and abdomen brown 
with green streaks; the whole body diapered with spots. The posterior 
wings are furnished with two minute hooks. The antenne are moniliform, 
with from 12 to 15 joints; elbowed at the third joint, the last three being 
soldered together. The head is transverse, the eyes faceted, the mandibles 
. foreipate. The tarsus is five-jointed; the anterior pair of legs has a sharp 
curved spur with three points at the end of the tibia.

Plate X. 
Tar publication of a Catalogue of the New Zealand Crustacea by Mr. Miers, 
of the British Museum, under the auspices of the Government of this colony, 
fills up a wide gap in our records of local zoology, and enables others to work 
up the subject, on the spot, with a much greater degree of certainty. The 
catalogue enumerates altogether 140 species, of which no less than 62 sp. 
are Brachyura (Crabs); while of Anomoura, 18 sp.; Macroura, 18 sp.; 
Stomapoda, 2 sp.; lsopoda, 28 sp.; Anisopoda, 2 sp.; and Amphipoda 
15 sp. are described. I now propose to add 22 species to the above, of 
which 19 are new to Science. Of these, 2 species belong to Macroura, 6 to 
Isopoda, and 14 to Amphipoda, "Type specimens of all of these are lodged 
in the Otago Museum,
