heterogama), or else inhabitants of oceanic islands (Zaluscodes). In this 
last case, as would be expected, the male is also semiapterous. 
Елмпу ANISOPODIDAE (RHYPHIDAE). 
Following Alexander, and in accordance with recent researches on the 
larvae and pupae, three subfamilies of the Anisopodidae may be recog- 
nized 
(1.) Mycetobiinae.—Radius three-branched ; media two-branched. 
(2.) Anisopodinae.—Radius three-branched ; media three-branched. 
(3.) Trichocerinae.—Radius four-branched ; media three-branched. 
- No representatives of the Mycetobiinae are known as yet from New 
Zealand. The genera Nervijuncta Marshall, Arctoneura Hutton, and Casa 
Hutton, which have been referred to the Mycetobiinae, really belong to the 
subfamily Ditomyiinae of Mycetophilidae, as I have shown in a recent 
publication. 
Subfamily ANISOPODINAE. 
The only genus of this subfamily at the present known from New 
Zealand is Anisopus, but it is not at all improbable that the related 
Olbiogaster will eventually be found there. 
Genus Anisopus Mg., 1804 (Rhyphus Latr., 1805). 
I have recently shown, the name Anisopus must replace Rhyphus, 
if the International Nomenclature Rules are to be strictly followed. Since 
our conception of the relationships of the genus has undergone a radical 
revision during the last few years, and the limits of the family have been 
extended to include Mycetobia and Trichocera, it will possibly be of advan- 
tage rather than otherwise that a change of name should be made at 
the same time. Two species of the almost cosmopolitan genus Anis 
are known from New Zealand, one of which apparently occurs also in 
Australia.

some pale areas included, the darkening being most distinct on veins ;

possible that a mistake in labelling has occurred.
