second line slightly paler than ground-colour, darker-margined, 

 forming a whitish dot on costa, becoming obsolete on the white 

 blotch, but its margins partially indicated by fuscous scales ; 

 an erect wedge-shaped white subapical spot ; a white entire 

 hindmarginal line : cilia ochreous-w-hitish, with an interrupted 

 dark-grey line, and on upper half of hindmargin with obscure 

 light-grey bars. Hindwings IJ ; pale grey ; indications of a 

 faint paler postmedian line ; cilia ochreous-whitish, with an 

 interrupted grey line. 



Wellington ; one specimen received from Mr. G. V. Hud- 

 son, who bred it from a larva feeding on moss. It is a con- 

 spicuously-distinct species, at once recognised by the peculiar 

 white blotch ; its nearest known ally is S. minusculalis.

 margin atf: cilia pale whitish-ochreous. Hindwdngs whitish, 

 with a few scattered light-grey speckles ; cilia whitish. 



Wellington ; one specimen received from Mr. G. V. Hud- 

 son. I took a specimen also at Deloraine, Tasmania, in 

 November; the species is very distinct, and I have no doubt 

 of their identity.
