towards costa and hindmargin ; lines slender, brownish, first 

 from | of costa to before J of inner margin, angulated near 

 costa, second from costa near apex to inner margin beyond

 veins ; second line preceded by a fainter similar line, and 

 towards inner margin by another ; a black discal dot beyond 

 middle ; subterminal line pale, waved, preceded and followed by 

 darker shades, above middle preceded by two small subcrescentic 

 blackish spots : cilia whitish-ochreous, faintly spotted with 

 brownish. Hindwings with apex acute, projecting, hindmargin 

 almost straight, waved ; whitish-ochreous, brownish-tinged, 

 with scattered blackish scales ; a cloudy fuscous line from 

 middle of costa to middle of inuer margin ; four fuscous lines 

 parallel to hindmargin, first straight, second and third slightly

Auckland and Wellington, in December ; two specimens. 

 I have no doubt that this curious insect is really Guenee's 

 species ; he was not acquainted with the locality of his specimen, 

 merely stating his belief that it was " Oceanian." The form of 

 hindwings is unique, so far as I know. 



BOABMIADiE. 



Zermizinga, Walk. 



Zerm. indocilis, Walk. 

 This species occurs also in South-east Australia. 



Boarmia, Tr. 



I find that the genera Zylobara, Butl., and Pseudocoremia, 

 Butl., are untenable, being not sufficiently distinct from this; 

 the characters of neuration on which they depended are found 

 to vary within the limits of the same species. I include, there- 

 fore, under this genus the five species panagrata, Walk., melinata, 

 Feld., productata, Walk., hipinata, Feld., and fenerata, Feld. 



Boarm. panagrata, Walk. 

 Also from Whangarei, Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin. 



Boarm. productata, Walk. 



Also from Whangarei, Auckland, Napier, and Lake Waka- 

 tipu. 



Boarm. hipinata, Feld. 



Also from Nelson. 



Boarm. fenerata, Feld. 

 Also from Auckland and Wellington.
