basal patch indicated by a slender line strongly angulated above 

 middle, blackish and distinct above angulation, below it grey and 

 nearly obsolete ; a short straight slender oblique black streak 

 from middle of costa, apex somewhat dilated, not reaching half 

 across wing ; a cloudy fuscous-grey triangular patch on costa 

 towards apex, emitting from its apex a slender cloudy inwardly 

 oblique streak, connecting with a faint cloudy grey oval patch 

 above anal angle ; a small faint grey spot on hindmargin above 

 middle, containing two black dots ; a few blackish scales are 

 also scattered in the grey markings : cilia creamy- white, with 

 some scattered black scales at base. Hindwings whitish-grey 

 spotted with darker ; cilia whitish, with a dark grey line near 

 base. 



This species is very similar in markings to C. obliquana, and 

 might possibly be an extreme form, a question which can only 

 be settled by the examination of additional specimens ; at present 

 the white groundcolour seems to afford a sufficient specific 

 distinction, in the absence of the male. 



I took one specimen on a fence near Auckland, New Zealand, 

 in January. 



10. Cac. flavescens, Butler. 



(Teras flavescens, Butler). 



? . 8 J". Head and thorax pale whitish-ochreous. Forewings 

 somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa moderately arched, somewhat 

 bent about one-third, hindmargin sinuate beneath apex ; very 

 pale whitish-ochreous ; two very small dark fuscous costal spots, 

 one in middle, second at three-fourths ; cilia beneath apex dark 

 fuscous. Hindwings whitish. 



This distinctly marked species is only known to me from 

 Butler's type ; it appears to be referable to this genus, but I 

 cannot speak with certainty, though it is undoubtedly not a 

 Teras.
