232 Mr. E. Meyrick's Notes on 



broadest ; an undefined blackish-fuscous longitudinal dasli in centre 

 of basal half of second segment : cilia whitish, with a dark fuscous 

 spot above apex, an interrupted blackish basal line on central third 

 of termen, and two or tbree blackish scales on dorsum at §. Hind- 

 wings pale fuscous, second segment whitish-tinged ; cilia whitish- 

 fuscous ; two or three fine blackish hair scales in dorsal cilia of third 

 segment beyond middle. 



One specimen, Humboldt Range, at 3600 feet. The 

 stalk of veins 8 and 9 of fore-wings is very short. The 

 species resembles generally Stenoptilia leucoxesta and S. 

 charadrias (probably with real genetic affinity), but is 

 distinct from everything by the well-defined blackish 

 subapical bar. 



EPIBLEMID^E. 



Notcraula sideritis, sp. n. 



£ . 15 mm. Head and thorax brownish-ochreous. Palpi moder- 

 ately long (2|), ochreous-brown. Antenna? whitish-ochreous, with 

 dark fuscous serrations. Abdomen grey, darker posteriorly, anal 

 tuft whitish-ochreous. Fore-wings elongate, somewhat dilated 

 posteriorly, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly 

 sinuate, rather oblique, rounded beneath ; whitish-ochreous finely 

 strigulated with dark fuscous, mixed in disc and towards apex 

 wholly suffused with ferruginous-ochreous ; two curved posterior 

 oblique purplish-leaden-metallic stria? from costa at • and f , terminat- 

 ing before and beyond tornus ; a series of undefined blackish marks 

 between these, starting from an oblique leaden-metallic costal streak ; 

 a short direct leaden-metallic costal streak before apex : cilia grey, 

 basal third with a blackish-grey line broadly interrupted with 

 brownish-ochreous, at tornus whitish-ochreous. Hind-wings grey, 

 terminal edge whitish ; cilia light grey, with darker basal line. 



One specimen, Wellington (?). The discovery of a 

 second species of this genus is interesting ; the palpi are 

 much shorter and the termen of fore-wings much less 

 oblique than in N. straminea. 



Strepsicrales doloptva, sp. n. 



£ . 13 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax pale greyish-ochreous 

 irrorated with whitish. Antennae grey, suffused with whitish above, 

 notrh at about £ from basal joint. Abdomen pale greyish-ochreous. 

 Fore-wings elongate, narrow, costa moderately arched, apex round- 

 pointed, termen sinuate, oblique, rounded beneath, costal fold reach-
