Borkhausenia thalerodes n. sp. 



(J. 17 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen blackish, apex of patagia 

 pale ferruginous-yellowish. Antennal ciliations 2|. Forewings elongate, 

 costa gently arched, apex obtuse-pointed, termen faintly sinuate, rather 

 strongly oblique ; de^ ferruginous, somewhat mixed with grey ; a suffused 

 light-yellowish streak along basal third of dorsum ; a whitish-yellowish 

 inwardly oblique transverse spot from dorsum beyond middle, reachmg f 

 across wing : cilia ferruginous, with two grey shades. Hindwings blackish- 

 grey : cilia dark grey, with blackish-grey subbasal shade. 



Arthur's Pass, 3,000 ft., in December (Hudson) ; one specimen. A 

 distinct species, allied to monodonta, but with different antennal ciliations. 



Izatha huttonii Butl. 



This is a good species, and not a faded form of peroneanella as I had 

 supposed. I had not possessed a specimen, but have now received one 

 from Mr. Hudson, who states that he has a good series, and that it is 

 constant and distinct ; it is white, with scattered scriptiform brown (not 

 black) markings. Taken at Welliiigton. 



Locheutis vagata n. sp. 



<J. 14-15 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax bronzy -fuscous. Antennal 

 ciliations nearly 4. Abdomen dark grey. Forewings elongate, rather 

 narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; 

 rather glossy fuscous-grey, suffusedly mixed with coppery-bronze ; plical 

 and second discal stigmata obscurely darker : cilia bronzy-grey. Hind- 

 wings dark grey : cilia grey, with darker basal shade. 



Tararua Eanges, 4,000 ft., in November (Hudson) ; two specimens. 

 An inconspicuous species, and the examples are not in very good condition. 

 The genus Locheutis Meyr. is new to New Zealand ; it is allied to Eulechria, 

 from which it is distinguished by the absence of pecten on basal .joint of 

 antennae. There are three Tasmanian species, and one in Ceylon. 



Trachypepla chloratma n. sp. 



(J. 18 mm. Head ochreous-yellowish, face fuscous. Palpi pale-yellowish^ 

 second joint dark fuscous except apex, base of terminal joint dark fuscous. 

 Antennal ciliations 1. Thorax dark fuscous somewhat mixed with pale- 

 yellowish. Abdomen grey. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, posteriorly 

 slightly dilated, costa gently arched, apex tolerably pointed, termen rounded, 

 rather strongly oblique ; rather dark fuscous ; a suffused ochreoixs-yellow 

 streak along fold throughout, dilated into a blotch towards extremity, 

 interrupted by a small raised dark-fuscous spot representing plical stigma ; 

 posterior f of wing irregularly mixed or sprinkled with ochreous-yellowish, 

 mth an undefined cloudy fascia of ochreous-yellowish suffusion from § of 

 costa to tornus : cilia fuscous, sprinkled with pale-yellowish. Hindwings 

 grey : cilia light grey. 



Table Hill (Invercargill), in December (Philpott) ; one specimen. May 

 be placed next lichenodes. 



Glyphipterygidae . 



Philpottia n. g. 



Head with appressed scales ; ocelli absent; tongue absent. Antennae |, 



in (J moderately ciliated, joints 'about 26 in number, rather elongate, 



with slightly expanded whorls of scales, basal half of stalk thickened with
