tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with vein 1 

 furcate, 2 from f of cell, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from 

 middle of cell. Hindwings as broad as forewings, trapezoidal- 

 ovate, apex and hindmargin rounded, cilia § ; veins 3 and 4 

 from a point, 6 and 7 tolerably parallel. 



Lept. callixijUt, n. sp. 



Male, female. — 16-18 mm. Head yellow-ochreous, crown 

 mixed with dark fuscous. Palpi yellow-ochreous, terminal 

 joint and a subapical band of second dark fuscous. An- 

 tenna? dark fuscous, in female annulated with whitish-ochreous. 

 Thorax in male dark fuscous, in female yellow-ochreous, with 

 shoulders and a dorsal streak dark fuscous. Abdomen grey. 

 Legs dark fuscous, ringed with whitish-ochreous. Forewings

 margin very obliquely rounded ; rather dark fuscous, strewn 

 with yellow-ochreous scales, in female suffused with yellow- 

 ochreous towards inner margin ; a longitudinal yellow-ochreous 

 streak in disc from \ to £ , in female extended to base ; a cloudy 

 dark fuscous dot on this streak at a, a second beyond middle, 

 and a third on fold obliquely beyond first ; a yellow-ochreous 

 transverse line, in male ill-defined, from | of costa to anal 

 angle, sharply angulated in middle, indented beneath costa ; an 

 irregular yellow-ochreous hindmarginal line : cilia pale yellow- 

 ochreous, with a rather dark fuscous basal line, in male also 

 with a fuscous median line. Hindwings and cilia grey. 



Whangarei and Nelson, in December and January ; two

(ECOPHOKIXME. 



Peltophora, Meyr. 



Antennae in male with long fine ciliations (3), basal joint with 

 pecten. Palpi long, second joint exceeding base of antenna?, 

 smoothly scaled, terminal joint shorter than second, slender. 

 Thorax smooth. Forewings with vein 2 from very near angle of 

 cell, 7 to hindmargin. Hindwings almost as broad as forewings, 

 elongate-ovate, cilia f ; neuration normal. 



At present represented by about twenty Australian and one 

 European species ; the following species seems truly referable 

 here, and is presumably a straggler. 



Pelt, amenena, n. sp. 



Male. — 22-25 mm. 1 lead, palpi, antenna?, thorax, and abdo- 

 men pale whitish-ochivous, sometimes brownish-tiuged. Legs
