blackish basal line on termen of second segment ; cilia round torn us and 

 on dorsum fuscous. Hind wings rather dark fuscous : cilia grey, base 

 grey-whitish. 



Lake Wakatipu (Hudson), in February. This is an interesting re- 

 discovery, as Felder's species had never been recognized before, and his 

 localities are frequently quite erroneous. It is allied to choradrias. 



Stenoptilia zophodactyla Dup. 



Mr. Hudson sends a specimen of this nearly cosmopolitan species, 

 taken near Wellington in November, stating it to be very rare. It has 

 not been previously recorded from New Zealand. It is common in Europe, 

 which is probably its place of origin ; but I have also received it freely 

 from India, Australia, South Africa, and South America. The larva feeds 

 on Erythraea, but must also be attached to other Gentianaceae, and is 

 probably artificially introduced. It may have reached New Zealand only 

 quite recently. 



Carposinidae. 

 Carposina morbida n. sp. 



cj. 26 mm. Head ochreous-whitish. Palpi 2J, porrected, ochreous- 

 whitish. basal half suffused with dark olive-grey. Antennal ciliations 4. 

 Thorax ochreous-whitish, shoulders with an ochreous spot. Abdomen 

 ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, posteriorly some- 

 what dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen straight, rather 

 oblique ; silvery-whitish-ochreous, irregularly strewn with ochreous scales, 

 costa and dorsum somewhat sprinkled with grey ; a small brownish- 

 ochreous basal patch, edge parallel to termen ; six small shots of 

 grey suffusion on costa between this and apex ; tufts brownish- 

 ochreous, posteriorly white — viz., one beneath costa at \, preceded 

 by a dash of black irro ration, one beneath this towards dorsum , a 

 larger one in disc beyond these, preceded by a black dash on sub- 

 median fold, two towards costa in and beyond middle edged with 

 black beneath, one below middle edged with black above, and a ridge 

 on transverse vein, irregularly edged with black anteriorly, between 

 these in middle of disc is an elongate patch of grey suffusion ; some 

 scattered black irroration crossing wing at £ ; cilia whitish, with two 

 greyish shades. Hindwings and cilia whitish. Under-surface of fore- 

 wings and hindwings largely clothed on anterior half with modified 

 pale yellow-ochreous scales, on forewings anteriorly suffused with grey. 



Lake Wakatipu (Hudson), in February ; one specimen. Can only 

 be confused with exochana ; but the <J of that species has much longer 

 porrected palpi (4). 



TORTRICIDAE. 



Harmologa tritochlora n. sp. 



$. 22 mm. Head and palpi pale ochreous, palpi 3. Thorax whitish-
