1 can discover no specific character to separate this 

 from Walker's New Zealand type ; perhaps if we pos- 

 sessed a series of specimens from the two localities it 

 might be possible to find distinctive characters ; as it is 

 the single Chilian example appears not to differ. 



Chilo, Zincken. 



23. Chilo chillanicus, n. s. 



Silvery white, tinted with brassy brown; primaries 

 above with a longitudinal subcostal brown stripe from 

 base to apex, and immediately below it a broader snow- 

 white stripe, bounded below by a median brown streak ; 

 apex acuminate ; several minute brown marginal dots ; 

 body whity-brown, shining ; primaries below pale grey, 

 with faint golden reflections and white on the apical area ; 

 fringe white as above ; secondaries snow-white, with 

 sordid costal border ; body white ; legs sordid. Expanse 

 of wings, 32 mm.

24. Chilo ceres, n. s. 



2 . Nearest to C. phragmitellus, agreeing with the 

 female of that species in coloration and venation, but 

 considerably larger, with curved and slightly deflexed 

 palpi and arched outer margin of primaries, which are 

 less acuminate at apex ; the discoidal, radial, and in- 

 ternal areas of these wings mottled indistinctly with 

 grey, two parallel oblique streaks of which colour cross 

 the disc ; a distinct marginal series of small black spots ; 

 in other respects the two females are similar, the pri- 

 maries and body being bright golden stramineous, with 

 black disco-cellular dot and the secondaries shining white. 

 Expanse of wings, 47 mm.
