N. isoleuca Meyr., Trans. Ent. Hoc. Lond. 1897, 4, 386. 

 Ben Lomond, in March. Not common. 



N. hexaleuca (Meyr.), Trans. N.Z. Inst. 46, 103. 



Ben Lomond ; Flagstaff Hill. November to March. Occurs rather 

 sparingly from 1.000 ft. to 3,500 ft. Placed provisionally in Dasyuris by 

 Mr. Meyrick ; the discovery of the male shows it to belong to Notoreas. 



N. mechanitis (Meyr.), Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 86. 



Ben Lomond and Hunter Mountains, in January. From 4,000 ft. to 

 5,000 ft. Not common. The southern form appears to differ from the 

 northern (Mount Arthur) in the cilia of both wings being sharply divided 

 into a fuscous basal half and a white apical half. There are other slight 

 but not constant differences. 



N. opipara Philp., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 47, 196. 



Table Hill and Mount Rakiahua, Stewart Island. On the bare hilltops 

 at about 2,000 ft., in December. 



N. brephos (Walk.), Cat. 1037 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 89. 



Generally distributed in open country from sea-level to 4,000 ft. No- 

 vember to January. A small variety from Flagstaff Hill seems to connect 

 the typical form with the following species. 



N. zopyra (Meyr.), Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 89. 



Routeburn ; Ben Lomond ; Takitimu Mountains. December and 

 January. I record this species with some doubt, as it appears to me to be 

 almost impossible to separate it from the preceding form. 



N. fulva (Huds.), Trans. N.Z. Inst. 37, 357, pi. 22, 2. 

 Near Mount Ida (3,500 ft.) ; Alexandra. March. 



N. synclinalis Huds., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 35, 244, pi. 30, 6. 



Stewart Island ; Seaward Moss ; Wyndham ; Longwoods ; Preserva- 

 tion Inlet. October to March. Confined apparently to the south-western 

 coastal region, where it is common in areas of a boggy nature and on the 

 bare tops of some low hills. Examples from the exposed top of Table Hill 

 are more reduced in wing-expanse than Preservation specimens (see Trans. 

 N.Z. Inst. 45, 431), while those from the more sheltered summit of Long- 

 wood Range show no departure from the normal. 



Samana falcatella Walk., Cat. 197 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 93. 



Queenstown. A single example taken by Mr. Curtis. " I have only 

 seen one specimen, received by Mr. R. W. Fereday from Captain Hutton, 

 probably taken in the neighbourhood of Dunedin."- — (Meyrick.) Evidently 

 a very rare insect. 



Leptomeris rubraria (Dbld.), Bieff. N.Z. 2, 286 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. 

 Inst. 16, 57. 

 Alexandra ; Macetown. October and December. This widely spread 

 species does not occur near InvercargilL and I have not seen examples from 

 the neighbourhood of Dunedin ; it is probable that Wakatipu and Central 

 Otago mark the southern limits of distribution. 



Adeixis inostextata Walk., Cat. 1012 ; griseata Huds., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 

 35, 244, pi. 30, 5. 

 Seaward Moss and other coastal swamps near InvercargilL December 

 to March. The restricted distribution in New Zealand of this Australian
