deutation : cilia brown, irrorated with darker. Hindwings and 

 cilia fuscous-grey. 



Wellington (Hudson) ; six specimens. Distinguished by the 

 uniform dark colouring and pale dorsal stripe ; phegophylla, 

 Me}T., is very similar, but much brighter-coloured, and haa 

 terminal joint of palpi wholly yellow, without dark fuscous- 

 rings ; politis, Meyr. (of which I have both sexes) is much more 

 mottled in appearance, with dark stigmata and subterminal 

 line always apparent, and (though occurring in the same neigh- 

 bourhood) truly distinct, since the antemial ciliations of <? are 

 appreciably longer, obviously over 1, whilst in hasella they are 

 only 1. 



Borkhausenia pronephela, n. sp. 



J . 16-17 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-yellowish. 

 Palpi Ught yellowish, lower half of second joint dark fuscous. 

 Antennae dark fuscous. Abdomen grey. Forewings elongate, 

 rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen. 

 rounded, rather strongly oblique ; yellow-ochreous ; a pale 

 yellow dorsal streak from base to near tornus ; basal third of 

 wing suffused with brown or dark fuscous except on dorsal 

 streak which is indented by the dark colouring before middle, 

 indentation partially whitish-edged and containing a blackish 

 mark ; two ill-defined fasciae of fuscous suffusion from middle 

 of dorsal streak and tornus respectively, meeting on middle 

 of costa ; stigmata cloudy, dark fuscous, plical beneath first 

 discal ; some dark fuscous scales indicating an angulated sub- 

 termLnal line : cilia yellow-ochreous mixed with fuscous, with 

 a fuscous postmedian shade. Hindwings grey ; cilia whitish- 

 grey. 



Invercargill, on outskirts of bush, in December (Philpott) ; 

 three specimens. A distinct species, intermediate between 

 the hasella and griseata groups. 



Plutellid.^. 



Glyphipteryx metasticta, n. sp. 



(J ?. 11-12 mm. Head and thorax bronzy - fuscous 

 sprinkled with dark fuscous. Palpi ochreous-whitish, with 

 two rings on second joint, and two rings and an anterior streak 

 on apical portion of terminal joint blackish. Antennae dark 

 fuscous. Abdomen fuscous. Forewings elongate, rather nar- 

 row, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, termen 

 very obliquely rounded ; 7 and 8 stalked ; in <? ochreous- 

 fiiscous, sometimes partly sufEused with bronzy-ochreous, in 

 ? dark fuscous with a cloudy whitish streak along dorsum
