Macromastix maori Alex. (Fig. 104.) 
Macromastiz maori Alexander, Insecutor Inscitiae, vol. 8, р: 130, 
1920. 
Apart from wing-markings, which will at once distinguish it from all 
others found in New Zealand, this species is remarkable for the possession 
of a vein-stump in middle of M projecting into cell M, much as in the two 
species of Holorusia. | 
SouTH lstAND: Tisbury, July-August, 1912 (A. Philpott); two males 
in Alexander’s collection. Also one male (type) in Berlin-Dahlem Museum, 
from Osten-Sacken's collection (the wing of this specimen figured).

The distinctive wing-markings of this species bear some slight resemblance 
to those of M. maori, but there is no vein-stump in cell other point 
of resemblance to M. maori is the narrowness of front, which is scarcely 
a quarter as broad as head. The first antennal joint is rather short and 
not particularly swollen ; flagellum eleven-jointed, all joints rather elongate 
and about equal in length, except last, which is globular. 
NonrH IstANp: Wellington district (G. V. Hudson, No. 87). A rare 
species, found in midwinter. Female probably semiapterous. 
Macromastix lunata Hutton. (Fig. 106.) 
Macromastix lunata Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst, vol. 32, p. 32, 
1900. 
In this species male antennae nearly three times length of whole body ; 
frontal tubercle and basal antennal joint of male much enlarged, the latter 
ochreous in colour; head has large dark spot between eyes, covering most 
of frontal tubercle; front is very broad, about half as broad as head; - 
rostrum about as long as head, straight; nasus more or less bifurcate at 
tip, moderately long. Thorax rather conspicuously hairy on whole surface. 
Praescutum with three dark-brown or black stripes on grey or ochreous-grey 
ground, middle stripe divided by grey line of varying width. Pleurae 
dark grey; pale ochreous between wing-base and pronotum, and below 
this with a single velvet-blackish spot towards front. Abdomen with orange 
ground-colour on tergites, an irregular black dorsal stripe, broadest on 
basal half of second segment; sides of the basal half of second segment, 
of third, fourth, and fifth segments, and whole of sixth and seventh 
М№овтн Istanp: Wellington district (G. V. Hudson, No. 108). British 
Museum collection contains two damaged cotypes presented by Captain 
Hutton, a perfect male presented by Dr. H. Scott, and another presented 
by Mr. Hudson. Other specimens are in Cambridge Museum. 
Macromastix variegata n. sp. (Fig. 107.) 
M. lunata as follows: Scape of antennae darker; rostrum 
distinctly longer and slightly curved, nasus very short; praescutal stripes
