Eucymatoge anguligera (Butl.), Cist. Ent. 2, 507 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. 

 Inst. 41, 5. 

 Generally distributed. October to March. Some varieties strongly re- 

 semble E. gobiata, but the present species can always be separated from 

 that species by the pronounced blunt projection in middle of outer edge 

 of median band, and the marked pink flush of the undersides. 



E. gobiata (Feld.), Reis. Nov. 131, 2 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 70. 

 Generally distributed. September to June.

H. hemizona Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1897, 385 ; Huds., N.Z. 

 M. & B., 48, pi. 7, 10. 

 Longwood Kange, to 2,500 ft.; Wakatipu. December to February.

H. subochraria (Dbld.), Dieff.N.Z. 2, 285; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 73. 

 Stewart Island ; Invercargill ; Queenstown. February. Rare. 



H. rixata (Feld.), Reis. Nov. 132, 1 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 75. 



Generally distributed. December to February. Particularly attached 

 to the banks of streams. The species appears to become progressively more 

 dull and suffused in colour towards the southern limits of its distributional 

 area, Invercargill specimens being darker than those from the neighbour- 

 hood of Dunedin, and these in turn being less bright than those from 

 farther north. 



H. purpurifera (Frdy.), N.Z. Journ. Sci. 1883 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 

 16, 119. 

 Generally distributed in forest to about 3,000 ft, December and January. 

 Wakatipu specimens have the hindwings much lighter in colour than those 

 from lower elevations. 



H. similata (Walk.), Cat. 1413 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 76. 



Generally distributed. November to May. A striking variety, with the 

 median band wholly black, occurs occasionally in the Invercargill area. 



H. callichlora (Butl.), Cist. Ent. 2, 509 ; Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 76. 

 Generally distributed. September to March. 



H. arida (Butl.), Cist. Ent. 2, 505; chaotica Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 76. 

 Generally distributed. September to March. 



H. SUBRECTARIA (Guen.), Phal. 10, 411. 



Queenstown, in November. An occasional example. Found also in 

 Australia, where, I learn from Mr. G. Lyell, it is widespread but not very 

 common. New Zealand specimens are somewhat darker than those which 

 I have seen from Australia.

 N.Z. Inst. 29, 283.
