oclireous, posterior pair suffused with pale wbitish-ochreous. 

 Forewings with hindmargin bowed, oblique ; whitish, towards 

 costa and inner margin sometimes suffused with light greenish 

 or ochreous-yellowish (latter perhaps faded) ; an ochreous irro- 

 ration forming numerous faint waved curved lines, those within 

 median band more or less darkened with grey ; costa suffusedly 

 irrorated with blackish-grey from base t o § ; a fine angulated

Wellington and Christchurch, in February ; four specimens. 



Pas. lichenodes, Purd. 



Through the kindness of Mr. Purdie I have received a 

 specimen of this very distinct species, which is much more 

 neatly marked than any other of the genus ; I do not, however, 

 describe it, as I make no doubt that Mr. Purdie's own descrip-

 furnish. Tbe palpi are 2 ; ciliations of antenna? in male %. 



Dunedin, in January; taken and bred by Mr. A. Purdie. 



j C. Antenna? of male wholly naked. 



Pas. i ml i cat aria, Walk. 

 (Eupitheeia indicataria, Walk., 1708.) 



Male, female. — 17-20 mm. Head and thorax whitish- 

 ochreous mixed with green, and somewbat irrorated with black.

 Antenna? light greyish-ochreous, in male rather thick, filiform. 

 Abdomen wbitisli-oclireous, mixed with greenish or reddish, 

 and irrorated with black, with a blackish median ring. Legs 

 dark fuscous, ringed with wbitish-ochreous, middle and posterior
