base of costa, beneath which is a sharply-defined sinuate thick 

 black longitudinal streak in disc, extending from near base to 

 before middle. Hind wings grey, spotted with darker. 



This diagnosis is taken from Walker's types ; I have not seen 

 any other specimens. The species appears to be a Caccecia, 

 belonging to the same group as the other New Zealand species ; 

 it is rather narrower- winged than its congeners, and immediately 

 distinguishable by the sinuate black discal streak. 



The British Museum specimens are from Auckland, New 

 Zealand.

 triangular dark fuscous patch on costa extending nearly to apex,
