 The Selenia gallaria of Walker is a nearly allied species of the 

 same genus. 



51. GoNODONTis FELIX, H. sp. (Plate XLII. fig. 10.) 



Primaries golden fawn-colour, sparsely irrorated with grey, 

 crossed near the base by a zigzag line which runs inwards at the 

 costa, and beyond the middle of the wing by a nearly straight oblique 

 line, both purphsh brown ; the outer line bordered externally by a 

 slender line of pinky whitish ; a black spot at the end of the cell ; 

 fringe orange, white-tipped ; secondaries pale pinky brownish ; the 

 disk crossed by an irregular grey line ; a grey spot at the end of the 

 cell ; fringe orange, tipped with white ; bead and thorax golden 

 fawn-colour : wings below pale reddish clay-colour ; outer border 

 paler, with zigzag internal edge ; a discal black-dotted transverse 

 line, zigzag on the secondaries ; a black spot at the end of each dis- 

 coidal cell ; costa of primaries dotted alternately with ferruginous 

 and white ; pectus reddish clay-colour. Expanse of wings 1 inch 

 10 lines. 



South Island. Coll. J. D. Enys, Esq. 



Allied to G. nelsonaria of Felder. Dr. Staudinger possesses a 

 smaller and less strongly marked example of the same species, pro- 

 bably its male ; in this specimen the pale external border is wanting 

 on the under surface. " It varies much in depth of colour" {Enys). 



52. Sestra obtruncata. 



Cidarial obtruncata. Walker, Lep. Het. xxv. p. 1421 (1862). 



Teras punctilineana. Walker, I. c. Suppl. v. p. 1780 (1866). 



Coll. J. D. Enys, Esq. 



Judging from an example in Dr. Staudinger's possession, I sus- 

 pect that this is only a variety of Sestra fiexata, described by 

 Walker as a Cidaria, but identical with his S.fusiplagiata.
