narrowly annulated with ferruginous-brown and white. Thorax, anterior 

 half dark cupreous with purplish sheen, posterior half white. Abdomen 

 greyish -fuscous. Legs fuscous-grey, anterior pair darker, tarsi broadly annu- 

 lated with white. Fore wings, costa strongly arched, apex rounded, termen 

 subsinuate, little oblique, rounded beneath ; shining cupreous ; markings 

 white ; an irregularly-triangular basal patch on lower half of wing, its upper 

 edge indented ; a round spot beneath costa at \ ; a chain of small spots 

 from costa at \ curving round to costa at § ; an inwardly-oblique series of 

 two or three spots from costa at | ; a dot on costa before apex: a large 

 triangular patch on dorsum before middle, its apex reaching to centre of 

 wing and its base broadly bifid ; a round spot on dorsum at \, followed by 

 a series of spots which curve round to tornus : cilia cupreous with white 

 patches beneath apex and at tornus. Hindwings elongate-ovate ; dark 

 fuscous : cilia paler, with obscure dark basal line and tips whitish round 

 apex. 



Very handsome and distinct. The generic position is provisional ; the 

 species probably belongs to a genus not hitherto recorded from New 

 Zealand. 



Blue Cliff (Fiord County). A single specimen taken in January by 

 Mr. C. C. Fenwick. It was captured in a bush track after dark. Type 

 in coll. C. C. Fenwick. 



Glyphipteryx barbata n. sp. 



<$. 15-20 mm. Head and thorax fuscous-grey. Palpi fuscous-grey, 

 second joint with dense rounded tuft of long hair. Antennae blackish. 

 Abdomen fuscous-grey, segmental divisions and anal tuft paler. Legs 

 fuscous-grey, tarsi annulated with fuscous and whitish. Forewings elongate- 

 ovate, costa strongly arched, apex acutely projecting, termen extremely 

 oblique; fuscous-grey with faint brassy sheen: a white median stripe from 

 base to beneath apex, becoming obsolete towards extremities : apical ^ of costa 

 more or less whitish with three or four dot-like strigae near apex : cilia 

 fuscous-grey with obscure darker basal line. Hindwings fuscous-grey : 

 cilia fuscous-whitish, paler round apex. 



Superficially very like G. bactrias Meyr.. but at once distinguished by the 

 tufted palpi. 



Discovered by Mr. C. E. Clarke, who found it fairly common at Waitati 

 (Dunedin) in November. Type in coll. C. E. Clarke.
