with brown. Venation: Sc long, ending about opposite 

 two-thirds the length of Rs, Sc2 atrophied ; tip of R2 about 

 its own length from the tip of 7?i ; m and the outer deflection 

 of ikfg subequal. Macrotrichise of wing-veins unusually- 

 heavy, occupying the entire length of veins i?2+3 ^^^^ ^3» 

 i?2+3 having about ten setse ; three setigerous punctures 

 on the distal fifth of the sector. Abdomen uniformly dark 

 brown, the valves of the ovipositor dark. 



Hab. New Zealand (North Island).

Rhabdomastix {Sacandaga) callosa, sp. n. 



Male. — Wing 4*5 mm. 



Grenerally similar to R. otagana, Alexander, differing as 

 follows : — 



Size larger. Head grey. Mesonotal prsescutum and 

 scutal lobes greyish yellow, with four indistinct brown 

 stripes ; on the mesal cephalic portion of each scutal lobe 

 an oval shiny area bearing two long setse. Pleura with 

 more extensive dark areas on the mesepisternum and sides of 

 the sternum. Wings with R^ much shorter, cells R^ and i?3 

 being nearly equal along the costal margin (in otaganay cell 

 i?2 is one-half longer than R^). MacrotricluBS on the veins 

 more numerous, there being about ten on R^y extending 

 almost to the fork of -K2+3 j on the medial veins, the macro- 

 trichise extend farther basad than in otagana ; Cwg with 

 about three macrotrichise, none on the distal third of the 

 vein. Abdomen broken.

Orolimnophila connecca, sp. n. 



Female. — Length 8*5 mm, ; wing 9*5 mm. 



Related to O. eluta, Edwards, from which it differs as 

 follows : — 



Coloration of the thoracic prsescutum reddish brown, the 

 pleura and postnotum dark brown. Wings more greyish, 

 with clearly-defined brown veins. Venation: R^ fused dis- 

 tally for a short distance with R^ ; m from one-half to two- 

 thirds the outer deflection of M^, Macrotrichise on M and 

 Sc very sparse and scattered, practically confined to the 

 region distad of the origin of Rs ; R^ more transverse in 

 position and with but one or two macrotrichise. Abdomen
