Myers.—New Zealand Leaf-hoppers and Plant-hoppers. 417 
I quote these local particulars from Kirby (1894) in the hope that 
collectors in Christchurch will endeavour to rediscover this interesting 
leaf-hopper. 
Since this was written Mr. J. F. Tapley has taken two typical specimens 
at Governor’s Bay, Banks Peninsula, and presented them them to me. 
P. philpotti n. sp. (Fig. 9.) 
Pale olivaceous, without markings. Scutellum with a conspicuous 
black spot on each side. Elongate-fusiform, narrowing suddenly cephalad. 
carinate for at least anterior two-thirds. Punctation of head, pronotum, 
and scutellum almost obsolete. "Tegmina coarsely but shallowly punctate, 
in a linear but inconspicuous manner ; much longer than abdomen ; convex ; 
not sharply pointed at apex. Eyes pale. Frons and clypeus very convex. 
Legs relatively longer than in the other species. Ventral surface pale, with 
deep blackish lateral areas, especially on abdominal sternites. Genital 
valves uniformly pallid. 
Length of body, 8mm.; head, 3 mm. ; greatest width, 1-4 mm. 
A very distinct little species, for the only specimen of which, a male, 
I am indebted to the discoverer, Mr. A. Philpott, after whom I have 
much pleasure in naming it. 
ump Range, 3,000 ft., December.

abdomen, tapering rather suddenly to a very sharp point. Wings prac- 
rounded, and free from keels. Upper surface of abdomen dark. 
.. Discovered by Mr. G. V. Hudson, to whom I have much pleasure in 
dedicating it, and subsequently collected by myself, on a small pate 
h (Leptocarpus simplex) at Breaker Bay, Wellington.
