8 and 9. The spots between veins 6 and 7 on both series are much 

 elongated and almost touch each other, thus forming together an 

 interrupted oblique white line on the upper portion of the wing. 

 There are four small white spots on the termen near the tornus. 

 The hind wings are pale yellowish-brown. The head and thorax 

 dark-brown and very hairy ; abdomen paler. 



This species is easily recognised by itsjsmall size.

Plate XXII.

Mr. R. I. Kingsley records having seen this butterfly in his 

 garden at Nelson on the 6th January, 1904. 



Diadema bolina. 



This butterfly, which is usually very rare in New Zea- 

 land, occurred in considerable numbers in various parts of 

 the country during the past summer. The Rev. Alex. Doull, 

 of Otahuhu, to whom I am indebted for the fine series of 

 specimens exhibited this evening, informs me that during the 

 end of February and beginning of March he saw no less than 

 fifteen specimens, and succeeded in capturing seven on a 

 flowering shrub (Escallonia floribunda) in his garden. The 

 occurrence of Diadema bolina at Wanganui in March was 

 reported by Mr. Ritchings Grant, and at Nelson by Mr. 

 R. I. Kingsley, who stated that he had seen seven speci- 

 mens, and heard of others. 



Chrysophanus salustius. 



I have noticed, since my garden at Karon has become more 

 sheltered through the growth of trees, that this butterfly is 

 much more abundanl there than formerly. Last summer it 

 was very common, and one warm night in January f dis- 

 covered, bv means of a lantern, no less than six individuals
