286 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



described here as typical is the New Zealand one ; the 

 larger and darker var. a is that found in Australia ; but 

 there can be no question of their specific identity. The 

 aspect of the species is singular and recalls that of some 

 Crambhlce. Butler's type is a small, dark, sharply 

 marked specimen, from Formosa. 



Diplopseustis hemiophthalma, n. s. 

 1^ , 12 mm. Head and palpi whitish ochreous ; labial palpi one 

 and a half times as long as head, externally suffused with dark 

 fuscous, except at apex of terminal joint. Antennae whitish 

 ochreous, above spotted with dark fascous. Thorax whitish 

 ochreous, with a few dark fuscous scales. Abdomen whitish, irro- 

 rated with dark fuscous. Anterior legs dark grey ; middle and 

 posterior legs whitish, tarsi banded with grey. Fore wings elon- 

 gate-triangular, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex rounded, 

 hind margin sinuate above and below middle, oblique ; ochreous- 

 white, mixed with pale ochreous, and irregularly irrorated with 

 fuscous and grey ; costa suffused with dark fuscous ; a pale line 

 from one-third of costa to one-third of inner margm, suffusedly 

 margined posteriorly with dark fuscous, curved outwards in middle, 

 and again less strongly beneath costa ; a round blackish discal 

 spot ; costa marked at one-half, five-eighths, and three-fourths 

 with three semicircular dark-centred pale spots ; a pale line from 

 four-fifths of costa to four-fifths of mner margin, suffusedly mar- 

 gined with dark fuscous, more strongly anteriorly, slightly angu- 

 lated above middle ; a row of small obscure blackish spots along 

 hind margin, tending to be confluent in upper sinuation ; cilia 

 with basal third ochreous-white, bounded by a dark fuscous line, 

 remainder white, with a faint greyish line ; costal cilia imperfect. 

 Hind wings indented above middle ; white, irrorated with grey ; 

 a round black discal spot, surrounded by a white patch ; a white 

 line parallel to hind margin at two-thirds, partially margined with 

 dark fuscous ; a row of small obscure dark fuscous spots along 

 hind margin, a larger one in indentation ; cilia as in fore wings. 



Although superficially like Pseudochoreutes, the lines 

 are quite differently placed to those in the described 

 species.
