markings black or dark fuscous with bronzy reflections : some spots and 

 st rig ulations near base ; a broad inwardly oblique fascia at ^, often interrupted 

 or obscure on upper half : three equidistant triangular dots on costa between 

 ^ and apex ; a broad irregular fascia from tornus, its apex sometimes touching 

 central costal dot ; a terminal suffusion beneath apex, sometimes extending 

 to near tornus : cilia usually grey with a darker line, sometimes wholly 

 greyish-fuscous. Hindwings fuscous-grey, darker round apex : cilia fuscous- 

 grey with a darker line, tips paler. 



Near Eurythecta robusta Butl., but in that species the fascia are outwardly 

 oblique. 



Queenstown, in December, on open hillsides from 1,000 ft. to 2,500 ft. 



Karmologa sanguinea sp. nov. 



o. 17-18i mm. Head fuscous mixed with grey. Palpi reddish-brown. 

 Antennae fuscous ringed with oclireous, filiations 1|. Thorax brownish- 

 red mixed with grey. Abdomen pale fuscous, segmental margins grey. 

 Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex subacute, termen rounded, 

 slightly oblique ; dark purplish-red ; margin of basal patch oblique, almost 

 straight, from i to \ ; followed by a shining silvery fascia much intermixed 

 with yellow or orange, its outer margin from just beyond costal patch, very 

 oblique to f , thence less oblique to dorsum at \ ; a similarly coloured median 

 fascia, rather broad, narrowest on costa, usually becoming obsolete at middle ; 

 a similar fascia from tornus, rather oblique inwardly to middle, thence 

 bent acutely downwards and inwards, sometimes obscurely touching median 

 fascia ; an obscure subiermi Hal fascia from before apex obliquely to termen at 

 middle : cilia greyish-fuscous mixed with some reddish and with two darker 

 lines. Hindwings dark fuscous : cilia grey with a darker line. 



Easily distinguished from the following form by the differences in the 

 tornal and subterminal fasciae. 



Mount Cleughearn, Hunter Mountains, in January. Five males amongst 

 Veronica and Cassinia bushes, at an elevation of about 3,000 ft. 



Harmologa festiva sp. nov. 



cJ. 16 mm. Head grey. Palpi ferruginous. Antennae fuscous, ob- 

 scurely ringed with paler, ciliations 1. Thorax fuscous mixed with ochreous- 

 reddish and grey. Abdomen fuscous, segmental divisions grey. Fore- 

 wings moderate, rather oblong, costa strongly arched, apex obtuse, termen 

 bowed, hardly oblique ; bright ochreous-red ; fasciae white ; first fascia, 

 defining basal patch, outwardly oblique, almost straight, narrowest towards 

 costa, its edges suffusedly margined with blackish, clouded above and 

 below middle with ochreous ; median fascia broad, dilated in disc, lower 

 half almost filled with ochreous blotch ; subterminal fascia straight, blackish- 

 margined, from | costa to tornus : cilia pale ochreous with darker basal line. 

 Hindwings fuscous : cilia as in forew T ings but paler. 



A shorter-winged species than the preceding ; the antennal ciliations 

 are also shorter. 



Hunter Mountains, in January. Four males taken amongst Veronica 

 and other shrubs, at about 3,000 ft. 



Harmologa reticularis sp. nov. 



$. 16|— 17J mm. Head greyish-fuscous. Palpi dark brownish- ochre- 

 ous. Antennae fuscous ringed with whitish, ciliations lj. Thorax fuscous 

 mixed with orange and white. Abdomen fuscous-grey. Forewines rather
