and seventh segments are approximately the same length; the terminal dorsal process is short and conical. Described from one male specimen labeled „N. Guinea Biro 97, Stephansort Astrolabe B." Type in the Hungarian National Mtiseum, Budapest. N o t e s. Allied to II. Halei and //. lllingworthi described in this paper. H. feta HALE was described from a female and differs from H. HorDtlthi sp. n., II. Halei sp. n., and H. lUingworthi sp. n. at least in color and in having a beak that reaches only slightly beyond the posterior margin of the eyes. HALE'S species has btit two pits on the anterior and middle acetabula and is a strikingly handsome species. Hydrometra feta I f ALE 1925. Hydrometra feta HALE, Arkiv. F. Zool. XVTI. A, No. 20, p. 4, Fig. 1, A and B, and Fig. 2. We have seen the female type in the Stockholm Museum. It is a very handsome Hydrometrid taken by MJOBERG at Bellenden Ker. Queensland. Australia. The beak just surpasses the hind margin of the eye. There are two acetabular pits on the anterior and middle acetabula, none on the posterior ones. lt is regrettable that Dr. HALE did not give some notes of comparison between this species and Hydrometra strigosa (SKUSE). Apparently H. strigosa (SKUSE) describecl from Sydney and Botany Swamps. N. S. W. is a smaller species, being only 11 mm long. Hydrometra stagnorum (LlNNAEUS) 1758. (Plate V). LINNAEUS, C. Systema Naturae, lOth Ed, p. 450. This well known species appears to be widely distributed in Europe. The Hungarian Mtisetim has, among others, specimens labeled: „P. Marot Szepligeti", „Szt. Endre Ujhelyi", „Munkacs Ujhelyi", „Tata 1915 Horvath" and „1. Canar. Becker, Feneriffe, Icod". The Paris Museum also has specimens from the Canary Islands labeled: „Isles Canaries G. Btichet 1897". It also has a series from „Tanger (env.) Favier 113—59", another „Moroc, Andjera, G. Buchet 1903". and two other series — one labeled ,,Californie Avril 1889" and the other „Canal de Californie 1884"." * These two places probably refer to La Californie, a small sea-side village on the Riviera between Nice and Cannes.
