180 DESCRIPTIONS OF AIJSTEALUN MICEO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



oclireous-tinged ; a thick black streak along basal fifth of costa, 

 attenuated at each end ; a black dot on costa closelj beyond it ; 

 a small irregular black mark in disc at one-third, immediately 

 preceded by a small dark fuscous-grey suffusion, and followed 

 by two tufts of raised scales, half blackish and half white ; a 

 small subquadrate rather inwardly oblique black spot on costa at 

 one-third, almost connected with discal black spot ; all these 

 black markings are somewhat mixed on margins with ochreous ; 

 some raised scales towards base, and inner margin at one-third ; 

 five short cloudy blackish marks on costa at equal distances 

 between one-third and apex, rather oblique inwardly ; five small 

 spots of raised whitish-ochreous scales arranged in an oval in 

 disc, each with a few black scales on margin ; between these, and 

 above posterior of them, is an ill-defined grey suffusion ; a very 

 ill-defined cloudy grey irregular dentate transverse line from 

 second of the five costal marks to inner margin at four- fifths, 

 only distinct on upper half and on inner margin ; a more distinct 

 dentate grey line from third costal mark to inner margin before 

 anal angle, strongly curved outwards and sinuate, containing a 

 series of ill-defined black dots ; a row of very ill-defined black 

 dots on hindmargin : cilia grey, closely irrorated with whitish 

 points. Hindwings whitish- slaty-grey, cilia white, with a faint 

 grey line. 



A very distinct species, through the white ground colour, and 

 black marks towards base. 



I took one perfect specimen at Dunedin, New Zealand, amongst 

 dry bush at the beginning of February, and have seen two others 

 from the same place. 



BoNDiA, Newm. 



Thorax smooth. Antennae in male with long fine ciliations, 

 basal joint broadly flattened. Palpi in male moderate, curved, 

 ascending, second joint broadly scaled, scales angularly projecting 

 in front, terminal joint slender, scaled, erect ; in female moderate
