very elongate-triangular, costa posteriorly moderately arched, 

 apex round-pointed, termen sinuate, oblique ; shining brassy- 

 ochreous ; a moderate white longitudinal median streak from 

 base, split into three branches posteriorly, and two similar 

 detached branches above these ; very indistinct narrow streaks 

 of whitish suffusion towards costa between veins, in ? more 

 suffused ; two or three broader and sometimes confluent streaks 

 of white suffusion towards dorsum between veins : cilia in ^ 

 whitish, on lower half of termen more or less suffused with 

 ochreous, in 2 white. Hindwings fuscous-whitish, in g more 

 fuscous-tinged towards apex ; cilia in ^ ochreous-whitish, 

 in 2 white. 



Invercargill, in December ; two specimens taken by my- 

 self, and three others received from Messrs. Philpott and Hud- 

 son. Closely allied to ramosellus, from which it is very easily 

 separated by the entire absence of the black terminal dots 

 and of the blackish inferior edging of the white median streak. 



Crambus conopias, n. sp. 



(? . 26 mm. Head white, with a central ochreous line, 

 face forming a moderate conical projection. Palpi 5, brownish- 

 ochreous, white at base and internally. Antennre filiform, 

 simple. Thorax light ochreous. with suffused whitish dorsal 

 stripe. Abdomen whitish-ochreous. Forewings very elongate, 

 narrow, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa slightly arched, 

 apex tolerably acute, termen hardly sinuate, oblique ; pale 

 brownish-ochreous ; a moderate white longitudinal median 

 streak from base to termen, posterior extremity angularly 

 produced upwards on termen, margined with blackish suf- 

 fusion above from ^ to near termen, and beneath almost from 

 base to middle ; veins posteriorly marked with some dark- 

 fuscous scales ; median and second lines indicated by angulated 

 series of ill-defined dark-fuscous longitudinal marks on veins, 

 obsolete near costa ; terminal blackish dots on veins : cilia 

 white, somewhat mixed with brownish-ochreous. Hindwings 

 fuscous-whitish, more infuscated posteriorly ; cilia white. 



Dunedin (Lewis) ; one specimen received from Mr. Hudson. 

 Apparently more allied to ramosellus than to any other New 

 Zealand species, but very distinct by the frontal cone ; there 

 would seem to be midoubted affinity to the European inqui- 

 nateUus. 



Tauroscopa glaucophanes, n. sp. 



$ . 29-31 mm. Head and palpi ochreous-whitish mixed 

 with blackish, palpi 3i ; a naked dark-grey space between 

 eye and palpi. Thorax dark grey suffused with neht bronzy-
