 10 lines. 

 Otago. 



The pale-edged triangular area in the centre of the M -shaped 

 marking is the first thing which catches the eye Avheu examining 

 this species.

In one example the wings are uniform rust-red without the 

 broad dark Ijelt, this is doubtless nothing but variation. 



G. niuriferata {^= Panagra ephyraria) is probably the species 

 rigured by Felder, under the name of ZanclojHerjjx ? cookaria. 

 The genus Gai'gaphia seems most nearly allied to Drepanodes,

I have now no hesitation in uniting the above synonymes, but 

 at present I have not sufficient evidence to prove S. flexata con- 

 clusively to be conspecific.
