55. T. trapezius Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1905, 227. 



Mount Earnsiaw ; 5,300 ft. 



56. T. gorgopis Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1888, 69. 



Mount Arthur ; 4,000 ft. 



57. T. glaucophanes Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1907, 109. 



Lake Wakatipu. 



10. Scenoploca Meyr. 

 Scenoploca Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1883, 9 ; type, petratda Meyr. 



Labial palpi with hairs of second joint produced beneath into an 

 obliquely projecting tuft. AVings in $ much abbreviated, incapable of 

 flight. Forewings with 7 separate, 8 and 9 stalked. Hindwings with 

 4 and 5 connate, 6 widely remote from 7 at origin, 7 anastomosing with 8. 



Also endemic and derived from Talis. 



58. S. petraula Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1883, 9. 



Christchurch. Larva on lichens on rocks. 



11. Talis Guen. 



Talis Guen., Eur. Micr. Ind., 86 (1845) ; type, quercella Schiff. 

 Hednota Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1886, 270 ; type, 

 hifractella Walk. 



Forewings with 4 and 5 sometimes stalked, 7 separate, 8 and 9 stalked. 

 Hindwings with 4 and 5 connate, stalked, or seldom coincident, 6 remote 

 from 7 at origin, 7 anastomosing with 8. 



An interesting genus, considerably developed in Australia, where it is 

 the principal representative of the family, elsewhere apparently confined 

 to a few widely scattered forms. Their habits are similar to those of 

 Cramhus. 



59. T. leucophthalma Meyr., Trans. N.Z, Inst., 1883, 7. 



Christchurch. 



12. Diptychophora Zell. 



Diptychophora Zell., Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1866, 153 ; type, kuhkveinii 

 Zell. 



Forewings with term en twice sinuate, 7 separate, 8 and 9 stalked, 11 

 usually running into 12. Hindwings with 4 rarely absent (not in New 

 Zealand species), 5 separate, rising from above angle, 6 remote from 7 at 

 origin, 7 anastomosing shortly with 8. 



Probably Indo-Malayan in origin, being fairly represented in that region, 

 and less numerously in South Africa, east Australia, and South America ; 

 but the New Zealand species still form the largest local group, and include 

 the largest and handsomest species. The larvae feed on moss, and the 

 species mostly freqiient forest.
