flexuosellus, tuhualis, and cyclopicus, partaking nearly equally of the cha- 

 racters of all three ; it is probably very local. 



TORTRICID^. 



Cacoecia acrocausta, Meyr. 



Additional specimens sent by Mr. A. Philpott show the variation of 

 colouring to be very considerable ; one ^ is very uniformly coloured, fore- 

 wings light brownish, with two or three black scales, costal extremity of 

 central fascia and costal patch indicated by two very small darker spots, 

 hindwings whitish-grey ; three females are whitish-ochreous more or less 

 strongly tinged with yellow, with well-marked small yellow-brown or dark 

 fuscous spots on costa in middle and at |, and sometimes one at |, dorsal 

 extremities of basal patch and central fascia and sometimes intervening, 

 space clouded with brown, hindwings ochreous-whitish. The species is,, 

 however, always recognisable by the form of wing and palpi, the dark patch 

 in apical cilia (least conspicuous in the ^ mentioned above), and stalking 

 of 6 and 7 of hindwings. 



Phaloniad^. 



Heterocrossa adreptella, Walk. 



A ^ sent by Mr. A. Philpott has a streak of blackish suffusion along 

 fold throughout, and another rising from this near base and traversing disc 

 to |. 



CECOPHORID^, 



Borkhausenia paratrimma, n. sp. 



^ . 15 mm. Head and thorax ferruginous-ochreous. Palpi ochreous 

 irrorated with dark fuscous. Antennae dark grey. Abdomen grey. Fore- 

 wings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, 

 termen very obliquely rounded ; ferruginous-ochreous ; very indistinct 

 oblique fasciae of fuscous irroration before and beyond middle ; some slight 

 fuscous irroration towards apex : cilia ferruginous-ochreous. Hindwings 

 and cilia grey. 



Invercargill, in December ; two specimens received from Mr. A. Philpott. 

 Allied to B. siderodeta, but certainly distinct, being rather broader-winged ; 

 differs by absence of dark fuscous irroration in forewings, and grey, not 

 dark fuscous, hindwings. 



Borkhausenia amnopis, n. sp. 



$ . 16-18 mm. Head whitish-ochreous, sides of face sprinkled with 

 grey. Palpi whitish-ochreous irrorated with dark fuscous, apex of joints- 

 whitish. Antennae dark grey ringed with white, alternate rings wider. 

 Thorax whitish-ochreous irrorated with dark fuscous. Abdomen dark grey,, 

 segmental margins white. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, 

 apex round-pointed, termen almost straight, very oblique ; whitish-ochreous, 

 irregularly mixed with whitish and pale ferruginous-ochreous, and irrorated 

 throughout with grey ; a short oblique blackish streak representing plical 

 stigma ; first discal stigma moderate, round, blackish, beyond plical ; 

 second discal larger, round, fuscous or dark fuscous, edged with blacky 

 connected with tornus by a patch of fuscous suffusion ; a curved black 

 irregular subterminal line, indented near costa and sinuate above dorsum, 

 more or less edged with white anteriorly ; some fine blackish irroration 

 towards costa before and beyond middle : cilia whitish-ochreous, more or
