MIMOPEUS 103 
All drawings in this revision were made using a squared eyepiece graticule and 
squared paper. Most were made from dried specimens, but those of mouthparts, 
metendosternites, etc., were made from slide mounts and glycerine preparations 
following treatment with KOH. 
Material Examined 
Over 3,200 adults of Mimopeus have been examined and identified. In a 
number of cases it has been necessary to select lectotypes from series of syntypes. 
To the best of the writer’s knowledge, all major collections of Mimopeus have been 
examined. A list of institutions where material is held is given below. 
For details of the usage of the names Cilibe and Mimopeus see Watt (1968). In 
summary, many species which were originally placed under the generic name Cilibe 
now must be placed under the senior synonym Mimopeus. 
COLLECTIONS AND COLLECTORS 
To keep this paper as short as possible the names of collectors have been 
omitted from the list of material examined. Full data are recorded on cards at Mt 
Albert Research Centre, Entomology Division, DSIR. Most of the specimens on 
which this revision is based were collected by me, and at the same time notes on 
ecology and bio-geography were made. In many instances immature specimens 
were collected in association with adults. These were all carefully labelled with the 
association and are available (at NZAC) for further study. 
Other collectors who contributed valuable material to this revision are as 
follows (listed by institution where most of material is housed).
