These have not hitherto been fully ex-amined, but comparing them with similar specimens collected recentlyby Mr. C. Barham Morris, of Oamaru, they appear to belong to D. carinataKing,§ a form originally described in 1853 from specimens obtained fromponds and swamps around Sydney. Several varieties of the species wererecorded by King. The forms collected in New Zealand appear closelyto resemble the variety cephalata, of which King gives a sketch, but whichhe does not describe in the * Thomson, G.
