Wellington ; a specimen received from Mr. G. V. Hudson, 

 who has taken others. Probably nearest to (E. griseata. 



Cremnogenes, Meyr. 

 (.'renin, siderota, n. sp. 



Male, female. — 16-18 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, 

 abdomeu, and legs dark fuscous; collar ferruginous; antennas 

 in male clothed throughout with scattered cilia (1), with longer 

 fasciculated series (2) ; patagia with small ochreous-whitish 

 apical spot. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, 

 apex obtuse, hindinargin rounded, rather strongly oblique ; 

 deep ferruginous, more or less irrorated and suffused with dark 

 grey, especially in male ; a small ill-defined yellowish spot on 

 base of inner margin, and another beyond middle, in female 

 much more distinct than in male ; two pale leaden-grey-metallic 

 irregular angulated transverse lines, first about A-, second about 

 £, second in female forming a whitish-ochreous triangular spot 

 on costa ; a pale leaden-grey-metallic ring in disc beyond 

 middle ; a pale leaden-grey-metallic line from costa near before 

 apex to anal angle, slightly bent in middle, extremities forming 

 whitish-ochreous spots, more distinct in female : cilia dark 

 grey, basal half light ferruginous, with a pale yellowish spot 

 beneath anal angle. Hindwings dark fuscous-grey ; cilia grey, 

 with a darker basal line. 



Mount Arthur (4,500 feet), in January ; abundant on tbe 

 flowers of Aciphylla, within a limited locality. 



GLYPHIPTERYGIDiE . 



Heliostibes, Z. 



Head smooth ; ocelli present ; tongue well-developed. An- 

 tennae |, in male biciliated with fascicles (2-3), basal joint 

 moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi moderately long, re- 

 curved, second joint exceeding base of antennas, thickened with 

 appressed scales, terminal joint somewhat shorter than second, 

 acute. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae roughly 

 haired above and beneath on basal half. Forewings with vein 

 1 long-furcate, 2 from about f , 3-5 approximated at base, 7 and 

 8 stalked, 7 to about apex. Hindwings broader than forewings, 

 oblong-ovate, cilia 1 - *, ; veins 8 and 4 from a pohit, 6 and 7 

 tolerably parallel, 1// pectinated. 



The position of this genus (referred here by Zeller) must be 

 regarded at present as doubtful ; it appears to be a synthetic or 

 undeveloped type, certainly having affinities with this family, 

 but perhaps rather to be considered as an early unspecialised 

 form of the Gelechiada. Besides the two following, there is 

 only one Peruvian species known.
