Hutton's or Hudson's Descriptions. In order to be certain of the identity, specimens were submitted to Mr. Hudson, who very kindly compared them with his type and reports them identical. Macromastix submontana Edwards. 1923. Macromastix submontana Edwards, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 54, p. 346. Edwards's type, a female, was from Mount Cleughearn, in the Hunter Mountains, Southland, collected in 1916 by Philpott. An additional series from the same general locality was taken in January, 1923, by Stuart Lindsay. Allotype.—♂. Length, 16 mm.; wing, 20 mm. Agreeing closely with type female. Antennae short, black throughout, only 11-segmented; penultimate and antepenultimate segments small, terminal segment larger and nearly twice the length of preceding segment. The type female, which is in writer's collection through the kindness of Mr. Philpott, likewise has 11-segmented antennae as given by Edwards. Thoracic setae creamy-white. Basal half of abdominal tergite 2-deep fulvous-orange, narrowly divided medially by a black longitudinal vitta. Male hypopygium black, including dististyles. Ninth tergite with caudal margin emarginate. Allotype, ♂, Hunter Range, near Lake Manapouri, Southland, altitude 4,000 ft.; 1st to 7th January, 1923 (S. Lindsay). Bibliography.
