Ilyodromus smaragdinus G. O. Sars.

Ilyodromus smaragdinus G. O. Sars, Fresh-water Entomostraca of N.Z., Vidensk. Selsk. Skr., 1, M.-N. Kl., No. 5, p. 43, 1894.

Specimens from fresh water in swamps at Denham Bay and from under stones in shallow water, Green Lake, agree well with Sars's descriptions.

The type specimens were raised by Sars from dried mud from the neighbourhood of Dunedin, but the species doubtless occurs more widely in New Zealand.

I have several specimens of another Ostracod with the shell light-coloured, with 3 or 4 irregularly scattered patches of black or very darkblue pigment on each valve. These I have not been able to identify.
