NEW SPECIES OF 8C0PARIA fLEPIDOPTERAJ FROM NEW ZEALAND, 
COLLECTED BY R. W. FEREDAY, ESQ. 
BT H. G. KNAGGS, M.D., F.L.S. 
My kind old friend, Mr. Fereday, has forwarded to England a 
most interesting collection, in which are six species of this interesting 
little group (of which, up to the present, four species only had been 
described from New Zealand) . Eour of the species forwarded by Mr. 
Eereday being new to science, I venture to describe them. It may be 
added that only two species have been discovered in Australia.

Head, palpi, and thorax rich reddish-brown; fore-wings somewhat 
triangular, neatly shaped off at the apical and anal angles, basal area 
reddish-grey ; first line arched, the concavity facing the base of the 
wing ; medial area rich reddish-brown, the stigmata being barely
