62 T raiisactiom. 



at i ; a small blackish spot on costa beyond \, preceded by a black sub- 

 costal dot sometimes marked with yellow-ochreous ; five small spots o£ 

 blackish irroration on costa posteriorly, and some suffused grey irroration 

 beneath these ; two indistinct ochreous-yellowish dots above middle of disc, 

 and an undefined transverse yellowish streak in disc at f , surrounded with 

 white ; a curved-angulated subterminal streak of blackish irroration, and 

 some grey irroration towards termen : cilia white, indistinctly barred with 

 grey irroration. Hindwings pale whitish-grey ; cilia white. 



Otira River (Hudson), in December ; two specimens. Very similar 

 to contactella, and at present I have only females of each ; distinct, how- 

 ever, by the rather broader forewings, with termen less straight and some- 

 what less oblique, the black costal spot beyond ^ and preceding subcostal 

 dot (both of which are absent in contactella), and the less-grey hindwings. 



TORTRICIDAE. 



Pyrgotis eudorana Meyr. 



J. 18 mm. Head and thorax reddish-ochreous-fuscous, thoracic crest 

 ferruginous-ochreous. Antennal ciliations 1. Abdomen whitish-grey, anal 

 tuft ochreous-whitish. Forewings rather elongate-triangular, costa gently 

 arched, with moderate costal fold reaching ;|, apex obtuse, termen slightly 

 sinuate, somewhat oblique ; fuscous-purplish indistinctly strigulated with 

 dark grey ; costal fold brownish-ochreous strigulated with grey ; a tri- 

 angular apical ochreous-orange patch, marked with some dark-fuscous 

 strigulae between veins and on costa, its anterior edge straight, running 

 from ? of costa to tornus ; central fascia indicated as an evenly broad band 

 of darker suffusion preceding this : cilia reddish-ochreous-fuscous. Hind- 

 wings pale grey, apical half ochreous-whitish ; cilia ochreous-whitish, on 

 lower half of termen basally spotted with light grey. 



Kaitoke, Wellington (Hudson), in December ; one specimen. This 

 species was described from a female only ; I feel little hesitation in referring 

 the above to it as the other sex. 



Cnephasia microbathra n. sp. 



(J. 18 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dark fuscous. Antennal ciliations 3, 

 Abdomen rather dark grey. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa gently 

 arched, slightly sinuate in middle, without fold, apex obtuse, termen hardly 

 sinuate, somewhat oblique ; brown, closely strewn throughout with whitish- 

 grey dots arranged in series ; a very small dark reddish-fuscous basal patch 

 suffused with blackish, outer edge slightly curved ; extreme costal edge 

 whitish-ochreous with a few dark-fuscous scales ; central fascia faintly 

 darker, posteriorly rounded - prominent above and below middle, and 

 anteriorly with an indefinite projection below middle, on costa forming 

 a semioval reddish-ochreous-brown spot with its costal edge blackish : a 

 fuscous spot beneath costa towards apex : cilia light bi'ownish-ochreous. 

 Hindwings and cilia rather dark grey. 



West Plains, Invercargill (Philpott), in September ; one specimen. 

 Though not conspicuous, this is a very distinct species. 



EucosisriDAE. 

 Bactra xystrota n. sp. 



J. 15-16 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous. Palpi nearly -l, 

 pale greyish-ochreous, whitish towards base beneath. Antennal ciliations L
