Elachista archaeoxoma Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 21, 179. 

 Dunedin. December and January. (Meyrick.)

 Invercargill; Dunedin. October to March. 



E. gerasmia Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 21, 177.

 21. 160. 

 Generally distributed. Common throughout the year. 



Schiffermuelleria orthophaxes (Meyr.), Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1905, 

 243. 

 Invercargill. November and December. Not common. 



Borkhausenia chrysogramma (Meyr.), Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 44. 



Invercargill ; Lake Wakatipu ; Sunnyside (Waiau). In forest and open 

 waste places. November to January. I am very doubtful as to this 

 obscure southern form being conspecrfic with the brilliant northern insect.

 Invercargill. November and December. 



B. siderodeta (Meyr.), Trans. N.Z. Inst. 16, 43. 



Generally distributed in forest districts. November to January. Very 

 variable ; I think it probable that more than one species is included under 

 the name. Stewart Island specimens are larger than those from any other 

 locality.
