a similar series. Cilia, except at the apex, fuscous. Posterior 

 wings fuscous, immaculate. 



130. Crambus flexuoscllus. Doubleday, n. s. 



Inhabits New Zealand. British Museum. Dr. Sinclair. 



Exp. Alar., 10 lin. 



Anterior wings brown, marked a little below the costa with a 

 slightly-waved silvery vitta, scarcely attaining the outer margin, 

 which it only touches just below the apex, at which point the cilia 

 are silvery. On the disc, immediately below this vitta, are two or 

 three small brown spots ; and on the outer margin, also below the 

 vitta, are four brown dots. Cilia, except near the apex, fuscous. 

 Posterior wings fuscous. 



131. Crambus vittellus. Doublcday, n. s. 



Inhabits New Zealand. British Museum. Dr. Sinclair. 



Exp. Alar., 10-12 lin. 



Anterior wings acuminate, brown, divided longitudinally by a 

 silvery vitta extending from the base to the middle of the outer 

 margin. Outer margin very delicately edged with black; this 

 colour extending slightly along one or two of the lower nervures. 

 Costa beyond the middle rather pale. Posterior wings, and cilia 

 of all the wings, fuscous. 



This species seems to vary a little ; one specimen, which I be- 

 lieve to be only a variety, has the costa beyond the middle silvery- 

 white. It is even possible that the preceding species may ulti- 

 mately prove only a variety of this. 



132. Argyrosetia stilbella. Doubleday, n. s. 

 Inhabits New Zealand. Dr. Sinclair. 



Exp. Alar., 7 lin. 



Anterior wings silvery-white, slightly tinted with yellow along 

 the inner margin, marked with a longitudinal brown vitta extend- 

 ing quite from the base to the apex, occupying about one-third the 

 width of the wing. The costa, except the middle, slenderly edged 

 with black, emitting near the apex an oblique line to the central 

 fascia. Cilia at the apex long, silvery-white, tipped with brown. 

 Posterior wings fuscous. 



In addition to the species of Lepidoptera described above, I may 

 record the existence of the genera Phycita, Aphelia, Anacampsis, 

 Depressaria, and, I believe, Eudorea ; but unfortunately the speci- 

 mens brought by Dr. Sinclair are not sufficiently perfect to admit 

 of their being described with the necessary minuteness.
