1917.) 



On the eve of my departure for England I propose to 

 take this opportunity of sending for pubhcation descriptions 

 of some new species belonging to various families, which 

 might otherwise remain for long unjaublished. Among 

 them is a complete account of the few known AustraUan 

 Aegeriadce. 



Fam. GEOMETRID^. 

 Subfam. Larentianae. 

 larentia petrodes n. sp. 

 Xanthorrhoe dascia var. j^etrodes. Turn., P.R.S.V., 1903, 

 p. 276. 



This is a very distinct species, and not a local race, as 

 I supposed. In addition to the differences in the fore wings 

 the hindwings are free from marking except close to dorsum 

 and termen, and in the $ there is a subcostal spot of modified 

 ochreous scales on upper surface, to which there is nothing 

 similar in L. dascia. 



Q. Warwick in April ; Gisborne in March. Three 

 specimens. 



Subfam. Acidalianae. 



EOIS EPICYRTA n. SJ). 



ETiixvQTOQ, bent ; in allusion to hindwings. 



(J . 19 mm. Head ochreous- whitish ; face blackish. 

 Palpi ochreous - whitish. Antennae ochreous - whitish ; 

 ciliations in ^S 1- Thorax and abdomen ochreous- whitish.
