Philpott. — List of the Lepidoptera of Otago. 237 



M. crocicapitella Clem., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phifod. 1859. 257 ; ferru- 

 ginella Meyr., N.Z. Inst., 20. 97 (nee Hb.). 

 Invercargill. November to March. 



Tineola biselliella Hiiin., Ess. Ent. 3, 13 ; Mevr.. Trans. N.Z. lust. 

 20, 101. 

 Lake Wakatipu. December to February. (Meyrick.) 



Tinea margaritis Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 46, 116. 



Invercargill. December and January. This and the two following 

 species appear to be mimetic of Glyphipteryx. All three forms are. however, 

 rare, and it is consequently difficult to get observational evidence on the 

 matter. 



T. argodelta Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 47, 204. 

 Invercargill. December to February. Rare. 



T. astraea Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 43. 68. 

 Invercargill. December. 



T. fuscipunctella Hw, Lep. Brit. 562 ; Meyr.. Trans. N.Z. Inst. 20, 100. 

 Invercargill ; Paradise ; Dunedin. October to April. 



T. mochlota Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 20, 100. 



Invercargill ; Queenstown ; Dunedin. December and January.

Generally distributed in forest districts. November to January. Larva 

 under dead bark of Griselinea littoralis. 



L. howesi Quail, Trans. N.Z. Inst. 33, 154. 



Invercargill. November and December. Not common. I formerly 

 treated this as a synonym of mixochlora Meyr., but I now regard it as a 

 distinct species. 



Titanomis sisyrota Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 20, 104. 



Haldane. A dead specimen of this gigantic Tineid was found by Mr. 

 Robert Gibb on a road near the coast in the summer of 1900. 



Taleporia scoriota (Meyr.), Trans. N.Z. Inst. 41. 16. 

 Invercargill, in bush. September to November. 



T. aphrosticha Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 44, 123. 

 The Hump (3,500 ft,). December. 



Mallobathra araneosa Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 46, 117. 



Longwood Range ; The Hump ; Ben Lomond ; Dunedin. Most 

 common from 2,000 ft. to 3,000 ft. September to February. 



M. globulosa Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 46, 117. 



Invercargill. September (Meyrick). I do not know this form ; it is 

 evidently very near, possibly identical with, scoriota Meyr. 



M. crataea Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst. 20, 102 V . 



Invercargill. Round the edges of the forest or in openings within it. 

 September and November.
