Captain F. W. Hurvon, Director of the Museum at Otago, and author of 
several valuable papers on the geology and natural history of New Zea- 
land, has had the kindness to remit to me from time to time collections of 
insects of nearly all orders from that country. To his friends also, especially 
Mr. Travers and Captain T. Broun, I am indebted for several interesting 
novelties. Some of these gentlemen's discoveries have been anticipated, as 
far as publication is concerned, by other collectors, and have been described 
by Messrs. H. and F. Bates, Dr. Sharp,* and Mr. Wollaston, more 
especially the former gentleman, and our knowledge of New Zealand ento- 
mology has been greatly increased ; but doubtless much still remains to be 
done, inasmuch as insects in those islands are very scarce individually, and 
the species seem restricted to more than usually limited areas. 
It is perhaps premature to generalize upon our present materials ; but, 
so far as we have gone, the following is a summary of what I think may be 
said :—(1) That the insect-fauna is most nearly allied to that of Australia,

* I take this opportunity to mention that Dr. Sharp’s genus Lawsonia “(Ent. Monthly 
Mag.,” X., p. 30) is identical with Exillis (ant, ser. 3, V., p. 43). Two species are described 
from New Zealand, both distinct from the type E. longicornis from Borneo. Unfortu- 
nately Dr. Sharp has given the same specific name to one of his species. Lacordaire 
wrongly refers Exillis to his “ Anthribides vrais;" it is nearer Tropideres, but, from its 
reniform eyes, it is perhaps best placed near Proscoporhinus, as Dr. Sharp has suggested,
