234 Mr. E. Meyrick's Notes on 



the absence of the two dark fasciae, which though often 

 interrupted are always present and well-marked as fasciae 

 in E. robusta, whereas in E. zelma they are represented only 

 by small costal and dorsal spots ; and also structurally in 

 the considerably narrower and more elongate fore-wings. 

 E. robusta may be extinct ; I believe it has not been seen 

 for very many years, though formerly locally abundant. 



Ascerodes, gen. n. 



Palpi moderately long, porrected, triangularly scaled with long 

 rough projecting hairs. Antennae in <£ biciliated with fascicles of 

 long cilia. Thorax without crest. Forewings in $ without costal 

 fold ; 7 and 8 separate. Hind-wings without pecten of hairs on 

 lower margin of cell ; 3 and 4 approximated at base, 5 somewhat 

 approximated to 4, 6 and 7 approximated at base. 



Apparently most allied to Harmoloya, from which it 

 differs by the absence of the costal fold ; separable from 

 Proselena and Protliclymna by veins 6 and 7 of hind-wings 

 not being stalked. 



Ascerodes igrochlora, sp. n. 



£. 18 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dark fuscous mixed with 

 ferruginous-orange, palpi 3. Antenna} blackish spotted with white, 

 ciliations 3. Abdomen dark grey, with whitish lateral streaks. 

 Fore-wings elongate, suboblong, costa moderately arched towards 

 base and apex, apex rounded, termen somewhat rounded, rather 

 oblique ; dark grey, densely overlaid with ferruginous-brown ; costa 

 broadly and dorsum narrowly suffused with pale yellowish-ochreous : 

 cilia ochreous-whitish, basal half suffused with dark grey. Hind- 

 wings dark grey, more blackish-grey posteriorly ; cilia whitish, basal 

 half greyish-tinged, with blackish-grey basal line. 



One specimen, Humboldt range, at 4000 feet. 



Tortrix, indigestana, Meyr. 



Tortrix indigestana, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S Wales, 

 1881, 520. 



Of this widely distributed Australian species, not 

 previously recorded from New Zealand, I took a good 

 specimen at Whangarei in December, which I cannot 

 distinguish from Australian examples.
