The following is a more or less artificial key to the New Zealand genera 
of Limnophilini provisionally recognized in this paper :—

Genus ZaLuscopEs Lamb. 
" Wings much abbreviated, with no distinct veins. Antennae with 
sixteen joints. Palpi with four joints, the last orbicular and attached to 
the side of the small third joint. Tibial spurs present on all the legs.” —

This genus is evidently to be regarded as a Limnophila which has lost 
its wings. Lamb states that “the male genitalia appear to be somewhat 
as shown for Zalusa in Dr. Enderlein’s paper," but there is really no close 
resemblance: Zaluscodes has a hypopygium of the ordinary Limnophiline 
type, while Zalusa, in this organ as in other parts of its structure, is clearly 
a near relative of Dicranomyia 
Zaluscodes aucklandicus Lamb. 
Zaluscodes aucklandicus Lamb, Subantarctic Is. N.Z., p. 130, 1909. 
An almost uniformly brown, long-legged species, which is remarkable 
for having the wings of both sexes extremely reduced, much shorter than 
the thorax. à 
AUCKLAND Istanps: ^ This remarkable species was common in damp 
places in forest, Carnley Harbour. It runs rapidly over the ground, like 
a small harvestman spider. An extremely fragile insect. The colour is 
white when alive."—(G. V. Hudson.) Type male and female in Cambridge
