27() Mr. E. Meyrick on 



thence obliquely bent inwai'ds ; an indistinct transverse blackish 

 discal mark ; usually a pale costal spot beyond second line ; in one 

 9 conspicuous pale fascial on each side of median band ; subterminal 

 line indistinct, sometimes partially whitish, waved-dentate : cilia 

 rather dark fuscous. Hiudwinys with termen rounded, gently 

 waved ; rather light grey, indistinctly strigulated with darker ; cilia 

 pale grey. 



Eight specimens. Not to be confused with any other ; 

 perliaps nearest allied to iS'. 2^'>^o(luctata, but larger and 

 more sombre, and distinguished from it and all similar 

 New Zealand species by the grey hindwings ; the very 

 long antennal pectinations of $ are also noticeable. 



Crambid^,. 



8. Cramhus ramosellus, Dl)ld. 



One specimen ; much damaged, but does not appear to 

 differ from typical examples. 



0. Craruhus horides, n. sp. 



^ $ . 21-26 m.m. Head and thorax, pale greyish-ochreous, with 

 some white scales. Labial palpi 4, greyish-ochreous, white towards 

 base beneath. Forewings with ape.x tolerably rectangular, termen 

 nearly straight, rather oblique, rounded beneath ; pale brownish- 

 ochreous ; a rather broad straight snow-white longitudinal streak 

 a1)ove middle from base to termen, extremity extended upwards to 

 apex, sometimes yellowish-tinged towards base ; costal area above 

 this wholly rather dark brown : cilia pale ochreous, suffusedly 

 barred with white. Hindwings whitish-fuscous ;■ cilia white, with a 

 faint subbasal whitish-fuscous line. 



Four specimens. Allied to C. JlcAUoscllns (no other 

 species has the sharply contrasted dark costal and light 

 dorsal areas), but easily distinguished by the absence of the 

 characteristic dark spots on lower edge of white streak, 

 and by the hindwings not being yellowish. 



Pyraustid.e. 

 10. Mccyna marmarina, Meyr. 



Four specimens ; normal in all respects. I now regard 

 Mnesidena, formc<l as a genus to include this .species and 

 its allies, as properly a group of Meet/ rut.
