BY E. MEYEICK, B.A. 649 



fuscous spot along costa from near middle to a little before apex, 

 its apex reaching one-fourth across wing ; an ill-defined sinuate 

 fuscous streak extending from central transverse streak above 

 angulation to hindmargin below apex : cilia ochreous-white, 

 transversely barred with dark reddish-fuscous. Hindwings 

 whitish, faintly mottled with pale grey towards hindmargin, with 

 two or three scattered faint grey spots ; cilia white, with a row 

 of dark grey spots along base. 



Very irregularly marked, and dissimilar to any other known 

 species. 



One specimen taken at rest on a tree-trunk near Wellington, 

 New Zealand, in January.

Thorax slightly crested. Antennae in male thinly ciliated. 

 Palpi rather short, porrected, second joint shortly rough-scaled 

 beneath and at apex above, terminal joint distinct. Posterior 

 tibiae with ap pressed scales. Fore wings elongate, subtriangular, 

 costa hardly arched, in male simple, hindmargin obliquely 

 rounded. Hindwings rounded, broader than forewings. Pore- 

 wings with veins 7 and 8 separate, 7 running to hindmargin, 

 secondary cell indicated. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 separate 

 at origin, 5 slightly approximated to 4 at base, 6 and 7 separate. 



Larva sixteen-leggfed, feeding in spun-up shoots. 



Allied to Sericoris, but distinguished from all other genera of 

 this family by the separation of veins 3 and 4 of hindwings at 

 base. 



The only species found in Australia is not native, but has been 

 introduced from Europe with the vine, on which it feeds ; there 

 are several other Euroj)ean species.
