Mr. Meyrick doubtfully assigns Guen^e's excentrata to his 

 previously described strumosata. From the description it appears 

 to me distinct, and T do not think there is much doubt that it is 

 tlie present species. Guenee specially directs attention to the 

 brownish hind wings. 



Mr. Lyell has taken some tine varieties of this species. Var. 

 a. $, from Gisborne, has the median band wholly suffused with 

 dark fuscous. A^ar. b. 2, also from Gisborne, has dorsal two-third.? 

 of median band clear white except discal dot and a slight 

 .suffusion near external edge.
