Limnophila subinterventa n. sp. (Figs. 67, 153, 154.) 
Head rather dark-brownish, dusted with whitish-grey round the eyes. 
Antennae about twice as long as thorax in female, as long as abdomen 
in male; scape brownish-ochreous, first joint short and rather broad ; 
flagellum dark brown in male, pale ochreous in female; joints gradually 
decreasing in length, pubescence and verticils, as usual, longer in male than 
in female; hairs of the verticils more numerous in female. Thorax pale 
ochreous, dusted with whitish-grey; middle area of mesonotum darker: 
scutellum and postnotum (median sclerite) rather dark brown, somewhat 
shining, a dull black patch extending from wing-base to above front coxae, 
broadening out in front. Praescutum swollen, coverin

blackish; in female there are black lateral patches on tergites imme- 
diately behind impressed areas, connected by a brown shade across dorsum, 
hind-margins of segments being also darkened. Hypopygium as in figures ; 
structure of penis, with a serrated area some distance behind sharply 
pointed tip, is rather remarkable. Legs ochreous, tips of femora and extreme 
tips of tibiae black. Tibial spurs slightly shorter than diameter of tip 
of tibia. Wings slightly yellowish-tinged, veins mostly pale; small black 
clouds over cross-veins and cord, bases of cells M, R,, M,, and M,, and at 
tip of R.. Se, a little longer than vertical Sc, ; r vertical, a little shorter 
than slightly upturned tip of R,. Discal cell unusually large. Two or 
three minute bristles on squama. Halteres long and slender, stem pale 
ochreous in female, dark in male, knob dark brown. Length of body, 
d 9mm., 2 11-14 mm. ; wing, 9-12 mm. ; antennae, j 7-5 mm., 9 3-4 mm. 
, such as the unicolorous antennae. It is just 
possible, though 1 think improbable, that the male and female here 
described are not conspecific. 
Limnophila geographica Hutton. (Figs. 61, 155.) 
Limnophila geographica Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 32, p. 43, 1900. 
The specimens I have seen of this species do not correspond in every 
detail with Hutton’s description, but I think the determination must be 
correct. The following о may be noted, additional to those шеп-

small. Abdominal tergites 2-7 each with one pair of impressed areas 
about middle. Hypopygium as figured ; it is remarkable for the enormous
