Three specimens taken at Dunedin in February. 



The remaining descriptions of Walker, not quoted here, are all unidenti- 

 fiable in themselves, and unrecognizable from the loss or original bad 

 condition of the types. It is probable, however, that all are merely 

 synonyms of species given above. A list of them is given in my paper 

 cited above. 



In the following indices the number refers to the number prefixed above 

 to each genus and species. The names italicized are synonyms only : —
