Invercargill, amongst bush, local, in November (Philpott) ; 

 three specimens. Allied to achyrota, but, apart from other cha-

Borkhausenia armigerella, Walk. 



Specimens sent by Mr. Philpott from Invercargill, in con- 

 junction w-ith the material already possessed, appear to show

 Palpi whitish- ochreous, irrorated throughout with rather dark

 similar to hasella, but with termen of forewings more oblique, 

 and easily distinguished by the fuscous-mixed head, uniformly 

 infuscated palpi, and whitish cilia of hindwings.
