one-third of an inch in length, of a reddish colour, relieved by bright nar- 
row stripes. I have sent some home to be named, together with a consider- 
able number of the smaller species, and hope to be permitted on some 
future occasion to furnish more reliable information respecting them, if not 
anticipated by other gentlemen more competent to deal with the subject ; 
but, as the principal aim in writing this paper has been to induce gentle- 
men more conversant with this branch of natural science to contribute to 
our knowledge, it is most probable that I will not find it necessary to trouble

Art. XXXIII.—Remarks on the Pselaphidee (Coleoptera) of New Zealand. 
By Captain Brown. 
Read before the Auckland Institute, 16th August, 1875.] 
Ow referring “i Captain Hutton’s Catalogue of the New Zealand Insecta, as 
published in the ‘“ Transactions of the New Zealand Institute,” under date 
the 11th November, 1873, it will be observed that no mention is made of 
this group of the Pseudotrimera, most probably because of its having been

As the omission of an entire group of Beetles from our only available 
list, seems to me a matter of importance, I will endeavour to remedy the
