Limnophila crassipes Hutton. (Fig. 62.) 
Limnophila crassipes Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 32, p. 41, 1900. 
A single damaged specimen has been presented to the British Museum 
by Mr. ©. V. Hudson ; it shows the following characters not mentioned by 
Hutton: Front about one-sixth as broad as head, with small but fairly 
obvious tubercle. Rostrum a little over half as long as head. Antennae 
brown, about as long as thorax (female ?), flagellar joints rather elongate 
oval, verticils epe as long as joints. Pseudosutural foveae and tuberculate 
argus ; in one wing there is an accessory cross-vein in cell. R, (an 
aberration which I have seen in ma ny species of Limnophila). There are 
faint pale rings in all the positions occupied by the dark rings in 2. lambi. 
Squama with two bristles.

Limnophila oculata n. sp. (Figs. 63, 156.) 
Head dark brown with slight grey mottling. Front about one-fifth as 
broad as head. Rostrum about half as long as head. Palpi long, dark brown. 
Antennae rather longer than head and thorax together; scarcely longer in 
male than in female, but more distinctly pubescent ; colour dark brown, 
the first few flagellar joints narrowly ochreous at base. First сарв joint 
rather long; flagellar joints cylindrical, the first few somewhat stouter and 
rather shorter than the rest. Thorax rather dark brown, praescutum indis- 
tinctly striped, with grey lines along interspaces, margins darker brown; 
postnotum and pleurae dusted with greyish, without distinct markings. 
Pseudosutural foveae absent. Abdomen Ат СЫ dark brown; two pairs 
of impressed areas on each of tergites 2—7, one close to base, the other just 
before middle. Hypopygium as figured: ninth tergite emerginate with a 
pair of fleshy, membranous appendages, sublaterally placed; parameres 
broad and rather flat, with a small hook on one side at tip. Legs rather 
tip, dark ring beyond this, иеш tips somewhat lighter, especially on 
under-side. No empodia. Wings with a slightly milky ground-colour 
(viewed by refiected light), except in cell M and towards tip, where it is 
darker; dark markings along costa and more or less ring-like dark = 
at tips of nearly all hw as in figure. Se, twice as long as Sc,, appearing 
as a continuation of Se. Tip of R slightly upturned and a little е 
than r. Three or four bristles on squama, опе longer than the others.
