When engaged on some entomological research in the extreme north of New Zealand, Mr. J. G. Myers, of the Biological Laboratory, Wellington, was attacked by a large number of small biting flies, specimens of which he was kind enough to send me for study. I am much obliged to him for having thus given me the opportunity of making known a new biting species of Ceratopogoninae, and I have much pleasure in dedicating it to him.
