Meykick. — Notes on New Zealand Pyralidina. 63 



terminal joint obliquely ascending. Maxillary palpi moderate, 

 much dilated with dense scales towards apex, obliquely truncate. 

 Forewings with veins 4 and 5 stalked, 8 and 9 stalked out of 7. 

 Hindwings with veins 4 and 5 stalked, 7 out of G near origin, 

 anastomosing moderately with 8. 



Besides the following species there are three others peculiar 

 to Australia. 



Dipl. minima, Butl. 



(Cymoriza minima, Butl., "Proc. Zool. Soc," 1880, 684; Diplopseustix 

 minima, Meyr., "Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond.," 1884, 285.) 



M ale, female.— 13-16 mm. Forewings elongate-triangular, 

 apex rounded, hindmargin oblique, with rather deep sinuous in- 

 dentation above middle, and obtuse bidentate median projection ; 

 whitish-ochreous, partially brownish tinged, irrorated with dark 

 fuscous ; costa dotted with dark fuscous and white ; first line 

 obscure, pale, angulated in middle, posteriorly margined par- 

 tially with dark fuscous ; a black discal dot ; second line whitish, 

 anteriorly margined with dark fuscous, from f of costa to A of 

 inner margin, sinuate-curved outwards above middle; a small 

 double blackish spot on hindmargin in indentation, and two or 

 three dots towards anal angle : cilia ochreous-white, terminal 

 half white, separated by a sharp dark fuscous line. Hindwmgs 

 grey-whitish, greyer towards apex ; a very indistinct pale pos- 

 terior line ; a blackish spot on hindmargin below middle ; cilia 

 as in forewings. 



Auckland, Wanganui, and Christchurch, from December to 

 March, tolerably common. Also occurs in South-east Australia, 

 Fiji, and Formosa. 



siculodim:. 



For reasons developed elsewhere, I now include this group 

 as a family of Pyralidina. 



Siculodes, Hs. 



Sic. subfasciata, Walk. 



Also from Wellington. I have recorded what I believe to be 

 the same species from Fiji. 



HYDROCAMPIDiE. 



Paeaponyx, Hb. 



I have explained elsewhere that Hygraula, Meyr., is to be 

 merged in this genus ; the ocelli, though hardly perceptible in 

 some specimens, are in others quite apparent. 



Clepsicosma, n. g. 

 Forehead flat, very oblique. Ocelli present. Tongue well-
