of inner margin, in which and other respects it is closely allied 

 to G. iochecera, but differs in the dark bronzy ground colour, and 

 the clearer and more silvery streaks. Three specimens taken at 

 Brisbane, and on damp goound on the forest-clad ascent of the 

 BuUi Pass, at rest on the heads of a species of J uncus, in 

 September and October. 



Glyph, iochecera, n. sp. 



^ $ . 4"-4f". Head and thorax dark bronzy-grey. Palpi 

 whitish at base, second joint with two appressed whorls of fuscous 

 whitish-tipped scales, terminal joint dark fuscous with two 

 white rings. Antennae dark fuscous. Abdomen elongate, dark 

 fuscous. Legs ochreous-grey, tarsal joints basally slightly 

 suffused with darker. Fore-wings narrow, hardly dilated, 

 hind-margin sinuate beneath apex ; dull grey, slightly tinged 

 with bronze ; one dorsal and five costal slender rather obscure 

 white streaks, anteriorly margined with dark fuscous-grey ; first 

 costal in middle, second from before f , both very oblique, not 

 reaching half across wing ; dorsal from just before anal angle, 

 very oblique, apex almost reaching extremity of second costal ; 

 third, fourth, and fifth costal streaks acutely wedge-shaped, 

 short, almost wholly on costal cilia ; a silvery -white metallic spot 

 on middle of hind-margin ; a clear round black apical spot ; 

 cilia whitish, towards anal angle dark fuscous-grey, with a strong 

 sharp black apical hook, and with basal half separated by a 

 black line and dark fuscous-gre^^, except on a whitish wedge- 

 shaped indentation below apex, whence proceeds a sharp black 

 sub-apical hook. Hind-wings and cilia dark fuscous-grey. 



Closely allied to the preceding species, but rather larger and 

 narrower-winged, ground colour grey only slightly tinged with 

 bronzy, costal and dorsal streaks not silvery. Four specimens 

 taken on rushes (Jimcus) in swampy places in Januaxy, at 

 Dunedin and Christchurch, New Zealand.
