S-sliaped ; medial area, orbicular stigma indistinct, attached to first 
line, claviform detatched, renitbrm 8-sbaped ; second line sinuated, 
denticulated; apical area, sub-terminal shade darker than ground 
colour, especially towards the anal angle ; apical border and also the 
bases of the cilia dotted. Hind-wings whitish, with a fuscous tint, the 
hind-margin being conspicuously dark.

Slender : fore-wings narrow at the base, gradually widening 
towards the apical margin, which is very oblique grey ; costa slightly 
hollowed at the middle third— the areas ill defined; there are 
three conspicuous longitudinal narrow black streaks — one at the base, 
another at the position of the orbicular, and a third at the position of 
the reniform stigma; the second line and sub-terminal shade are indi- 
cated by faint longitudinal streaks. Hind-wings whitish. 
This species is, perhaps, most nearly allied to our gracilis. 
SCOPAEIA EXILIS, U. Sp. 
Alee anticcv perangustw, costd recta, apice acuto, strigis geminis 
duahus basalibus, lined prima Z-formi, stigmato claviformi amplo, 
nigro, reniformi ^-formi, strigd pallida obliqud apicali. Posticce 
angustw, grisece. Exp. alar. 8'". Hab. N. Z. 1 ? . 
Eore- wings very narrow, costa straight, apex acute, hind-margin 
slightly emarginate, in colour a mixture of fuscous, black, and whitish ; 
basal area with two twin dashes towards the inner margin ; first line 
3-shaped; medial area dark towards second line, claviform stigma 
large, black, and detatched from first line, with a patch of fuscous 
below and beyond it, reniform, 8-shaped, the lower half being filled in 
with white, the upper with fuscous ; second line whitish, 3-shaped ; 
apical area with an oblique pale streak from the apex, and a dark trans- 
verse line towards, and parallel with, the apical margin. Hind-wings 
narrow, grey. 
This species reminds one most of our angustea. 
Besides the above, there are two $ s of <S. diphtheralis (a handsome 
and variable species) and 1 (J and two $ s of linealis. Of the two 
other known species {S. minusculalis and minualis) my friend has not 
yet sent over any examples.
