Art. XXXIII. — List of the Insects recorded as having been found in New 

 - Zealand previous to the Year 1870. By Capt. F. W. Hutton, C.M.Z.S. 



\Read before the Otago Institute, Wth November, 1873.] 

 It is with considerable diffidence that I present the following list to the Otago 

 Institute, for I am well aware that it must contain many errors, both of 

 commission and omission ; but as it has had the advantage of being re^'ised 

 and considei'ably added to by C M. Wakefield, Esq., it is, I think, as 

 complete and accurate as it can be made in the colony, and it will, I hope, be 

 found useful as a first step towards collecting together descriptions of all the 

 New Zealand Insects. 



It contains the following number of species of each order : — Coleop- 

 tera, 265 ; Hymenoptera, 23 ; Diptera, 98 ; Neuroptera, 42 ; Orthoptera, 30 ; 

 Heteroptera, 22 ; and Homoptera, 22 ; making a total of 502 species, but of 

 these 15 are names merely, no description or figure having been published. 



A list of the Lepidoptera will, I hope, shortly be published by Mr. 

 R. W. Fereday.*
