New Zealand Lepidopterd. 227 



a fuscous subapical Hue, basal half barred with fuscous. Hifid-wings 

 grey, darker posteriorly ; cilia as in fore-wings. 



Five specimens, Wellington. It is extremely distinct, 

 bearing very little resemblance to the other New Zealand 

 species, A. pentadactyla, yet probably more allied to it 

 than to any other known to me. 



Taurosco2M traj)ezitis, sp. n. 



£ . 22 mm. Head and thorax blackish-fuscous mixed with white, 

 orbits and cheeks naked, orange. Palpi dark fuscous, white on 

 upper longitudinal half and at base beneath. Antennae blackish, 

 towards base whitish-sprinkled. Abdomen bronzy-fuscous sprinkled

 third of dorsum, and a streak from base of costa equal and parallel 

 to this ; two small costal spots before and one beyond middle ; an 

 oblique narrow-trapezoidal spot in disc before middle, its posterior 

 edge formed by whitish first line, which is very acutely angulated 

 below middle ; a reniform discal spot slightly beyond middle ; 

 second line whitish, obtusely angulated in middle and indented 

 beneath costa, edged with black anteriorly and by an oblique 

 black spot on costa posteriorly ; a terminal series of small black 

 spots : cilia grey, with dark grey basal shade, tips white. Hind- 

 wings rather dark grey ; cilia grey, mixed with white towards tips. 



One specimen, Mount Earnslaw, at 5300 ft. This, the 

 second discovered species of the endemic genus Tavroscopa, 

 bears a general resemblance to T. r/orgopis, but is very dis- 

 tinct, especially by the peculiarly formed first line ; whilst 

 the singular naked orange cheeks and orbits are quite a 

 unique feature, of which there is no trace in the other 

 species.
