Auckland, Napier, Wellington. Hampson oddly unites this and 

 the preceding as sexes, which is certainly incorrect, as I have males 

 of both. They are also not only distinct and apparently constant 

 in colouring, but differ somewhat in the form of the spots, occur in 

 different Islands, and my type of pictula has the tegulae distinctly 

 ridged, and would therefore be placed by him in a different genus 

 from rhodopleura, in which there seems to be no ridge ; however, 

 on this last point I lay no stress myself.
