  I 
  propose 
  for 
  this 
  insect 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Diapria 
  coccojoliaga. 
  

  

  In 
  colour 
  the 
  insect, 
  to 
  the 
  naked 
  eye, 
  is 
  black 
  ; 
  under 
  the 
  microscope 
  

   the 
  vertex 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  green, 
  the 
  eyes 
  red, 
  the 
  thorax 
  and 
  abdomen 
  brown 
  

   with 
  green 
  streaks; 
  the 
  whole 
  body 
  diapered 
  mth 
  spots. 
  The 
  posterior 
  

   wings 
  are 
  furnished 
  with 
  two 
  minute 
  hooks. 
  The 
  antennae 
  are 
  moniliform, 
  

   with 
  fi'om 
  12 
  to 
  15 
  joints; 
  elbowed 
  at 
  the 
  third 
  joint, 
  the 
  last 
  three 
  being 
  

   soldered 
  together. 
  The 
  head 
  is 
  transverse, 
  the 
  eyes 
  faceted, 
  the 
  mandibles 
  

   forcipate. 
  The 
  tarsus 
  is 
  five-jointed; 
  the 
  anterior 
  pau' 
  of 
  legs 
  has 
  a 
  sharp 
  

   curved 
  spur 
  with 
  three 
  points 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  tibia.

  The 
  publication 
  of 
  a 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  Zealand 
  Crustacea 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Miers, 
  

   of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  under 
  the 
  auspices 
  of 
  the 
  Government 
  of 
  this 
  colony, 
  

   fills 
  up 
  a 
  wide 
  gap 
  in 
  our 
  records 
  of 
  local 
  zoology, 
  and 
  enables 
  others 
  to 
  work 
  

   up 
  the 
  subject, 
  on 
  the 
  spot, 
  with 
  a 
  much 
  greater 
  degree 
  of 
  certainty. 
  The 
  

   catalogue 
  enumerates 
  altogether 
  140 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  no 
  less 
  than 
  62 
  sp. 
  

   are 
  Brachyura 
  (Crabs) 
  ; 
  while 
  of 
  Anomoura, 
  13 
  sp. 
  ; 
  Macroura, 
  18 
  sp. 
  ; 
  

   Stomapoda, 
  2 
  sp. 
  ; 
  Isopoda, 
  28 
  sp. 
  ; 
  Anisopoda, 
  2 
  sp. 
  ; 
  and 
  JmpJiipoda 
  

   15 
  sp. 
  are 
  described. 
  I 
  now 
  propose 
  to 
  add 
  22 
  species 
  to 
  the 
  above, 
  of 
  

   which 
  19 
  are 
  new 
  to 
  science. 
  Of 
  these, 
  2 
  species 
  belong 
  to 
  Macroura, 
  6 
  to 
  

   Isopoda, 
  and 
  14 
  to 
  Amphipoda. 
  Type 
  specimens 
  of 
  all 
  of 
  these 
  are 
  lodged 
  

   in 
  the 
  Otago 
  Museum.
