being under 1. It is probable that when further examples are secured 

 the white markings will be found to be subject to much variation. 

 Ben Lomond, in December. One of each sex at 2,000 ft., in bush. 



Chloroclystis magnimaculata sp. nov. 



<$ 9- 19-21 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax greyish-green, in $ ochreous. 

 Palpi 2. Antennae in $ ciliate-fasciculate, ciliations 4. Abdomen greenish- 

 grey, in $ ochreous, with a reddish-fuscous antemedian band. Forewings 

 triangular, costa gently arched, termen subsinuate, moderately oblique ; 

 greyish-green ; costa narrowly reddish to \ ; numerous reddish-fuscous 

 waved lines from base to f , forming curved fascia at J ; outer edge of 

 median band broadly and obtusely projecting at middle ; a large apical 

 blotch of bright reddish-fuscous ; a smaller and paler tornal blotch with a 

 minute white dot near centre ; subterminal line serrate, grey-green ; a 

 reddish-fuscous line round termen : cilia greyish-green, suffused with 

 reddish-fuscous except at middle of termen. Hindwings unevenly rounded ; 

 pale greenish-grey ; a reddish-fuscous discal dot and numerous obscure 

 waved reddish-fuscous striae, more prominent on dorsum : cilia greenish- 

 grey with faint reddish-fuscous bars. 



Nearest to Chloroclystis maculata Hdsn., from which it is easily known 

 by the prominent apical blotch. 



Queenstown, in November. I am indebted to Mr. M. 0. Pasco for 

 examples of this well-marked species. 



Chloroclystis modesta sp. nov. 



<$ $. 26-29 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen dark brownish-fuscous, 

 sparsely mixed with grey. Palpi reddish-tinged, 2|. Antennae in <$ ciliate- 

 fasciculate, ciliations 4|. Forewings rather narrow, costa subsinuate, 

 slightly arched, termen sinuate on lower half, moderately oblique ; fuscous- 

 brown ; markings obscure, grey-whitish ; veins interruptedly marked 

 with blackish ; many irregularly serrate or waved transverse striae ; a more 

 distinct pair at \, and 3 or 4 similar ones defining outer edge of median band 

 at f ; an obscure blackish discal dot ; a faintly greenish-tinged serrate 

 subterminal line : cilia fuscous with paler median line, sometimes indis- 

 tinctly barred with darker. Hindwings, termen irregularly rounded, pro- 

 minent at veins 3 and 4 ; fuscous-grey, darker dorsally ; a dark discal dot ; 

 some lighter striae obscurely indicated on dorsum : cilia as in forewings. 



Differs from Chloroclystis halianthes Meyr. in the irregular termen of 

 the hindwings. It is also much darker in colour, and the cilia are not 

 distinctly barred. 



Ben Lomond, in January, and Bold Peak, in December. Taken bv 

 Messrs. C. C. Fenwick and F. S. Oliver, at altitudes of from 3,000 ft. to 

 4,000 ft. Mr. Fenwick has kindly supplied me with material for the 

 description of the species. Types (^ and $) in coll. C. C. Fenwick. 



Chloroclystis rubella sp. nov. 



c? $. 28-29 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen dark greenish- 

 fuscous with some admixture of greyisb-pink and white scales. Palpi 2. 

 Antennae in S ciliate-fasciculate, ciliations 4. Forewings triangular, broad, 

 costa in <$ rather strongly arched on apical fourth, termen obliquely bowed ; 

 dark greenish-fuscous mixed with black and tinted, especially round tornus, 

 u ith pink ; veins interruptedly marked with black ; lines very obscure :
