especially near apex. Hindwings whitish, faintly tinged with 

 yellow, and thinly spotted with grey, especially towards inner 

 margin : cilia whitish, with a fuscous-grey line near base. 



Differing from all other Australian and New Zealand species 

 in the produced apex and excavated hindmargin of the fore wings 

 as well as the angulated dark streak beneath basal portion of 

 costa. The palpi are not more elongate than in the other allied 

 New Zealand species, and the species has no relation ivldiogr aphis, 

 which differs in venation. In form of wing the species is analogous 

 to the European C. podana and its allies. 



I have five specimens (three males, and two females) taken at 

 Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin, New Zealand, in 

 January. Zeller was only acquainted with the male, from which 

 the female differs markedly, but his description is very accurate.

11". Head and thorax brassy-fuscous; palpi elongate. Fore- 

 wings oblong, moderately broad, not dilated ; entirely brassy- 

 fuscous ; somewhat lighter on disc. Hindwings blackish-fuscous, 

 along costa yellowish. 



This species is very distinct from any other, and I can only 

 conjecture that it may belong here, in the absence of a complete 

 knowledge of its structure. 



Described from Butler's type in the British Museum, which is 

 from New Zealand.
