dark cupreous, with a shining silvery line cross 
side, whence it is continued in a narrow streak 
Head ferruginous; face pale, shining, silvery. Thorax 
ing it anteriorly and bent back over the tegulae on either 
, gradually attenuated, nearly to the middle of the wing. 
Forewings bright shining ferruginous, speckled beyond the middle with dark cupreous scales; in addition 
to the silvery basal streak, a small brassy dorsal streak, arising before the middle, points obliquely 
outward toward the base of an also outwardly oblique costal streak of the same colour, opposite to 
which is a small silvery dorsal spot; the long cilia, which give the termen a widened appearance, are 
much ornamented—a ferruginous projection runs through them at the apex, dark-margined on either 
side, above which a silvery patch is cut by a dark triangular spot; below the apex a slender dark line 
bounds the ferruginous base of the cilia, beyond which they are tawny cinereous, another curved dark 
scale-line dividing them again before their extremities. Exp. al. 6-7 mm, Hindwings cupreous ; 
cilia rich tawny. Abdomen dark,greyish. Legs pale cinereous, the tibiae with long hairs above.

[Comodica Meyr. and Ereunetis Meyr. agree in the absence of one of the tornal veins 
in the forewings (apparently 3 obsolete), but Hrewnetis has FW: 7-8 stalked, while 
these veins are separate in Comodica—Comodica was originally described as having 
HW: 5-6 separate, but this was subsequently corrected by Meyrick’ to HW: 5-6 
stalked. Erechthias Meyr. [Pr. Linn. Soc. NSW. 5 252, 261-71 (1880)] is now 
restricted to the New Zealand species with FW: 12 veins, all separate [vide Meyr. Pr.
