1877.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM NEW ZEALAND. 403 



lated with grey, the costal and apical areas reJJish. Expanse of 

 wings 8 Hues. 



Coll. J. D. Enys, Esq, 



Dr. Hector also possesses a faded example of this species. 



120. Cacoecia taipana. 



Tortrix taipana, Felder, Reise der Nov. Lep. v. pi. cxxxvii. 

 fig. 46. 



Coll. Dr. Hector. 



Felder's figure is a little too decided, judging from Dr. Hector's 

 example. The two preceding species belong to the same group 

 with C. cost ana. 



121. Cacoecia inana, n. sp. (Plate XLIII. fig. 13.) 



Primaries above pale clay-brown, irrorated with grey, costa indi- 

 stinctly spotted with grey ; secondaries silky white, reticulated with 

 grey ; thorax clay-brown ; abdomen whitish : wings below white, 

 reticulated with dark grey, costal borders tinted with testaceous ; 

 body below sordid white, venter with lateral black dots. Expanse 

 of wings 1 inch 3| lines. 



Coll. Dr. Hector. 



]\Ir. Enys has an example of a species somewhat resembling Rha- 

 codia rureana of Felder. It may be a Cacoecia ; but as it has lost 

 its palpi, I cannot venture to describe it. 



122. Heterognomon excessana. 



Teras excessana. Walker, Lep. Het, xxviii. p. 303 (1863). 

 Colls. Dr. Hector and J. D. Enys, Esq. 



123. (Sciaphila) spoliatana?? 



Sciaphila spoliatana, Walker, Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 356 (1863). 



Coll. Dr. Hector. 



The single example is much rubbed, and injured by mites; it 

 may have nothing to do with Walker's species : several of Walker's 

 types have the wings closed, and thus are not easily recognized. 



124. Zelotherses? robusta, n. sp. (Plate XLIII. fig. 17.) 



c? 2 • Primaries sordid white, acute ; a broad oblique patch be- 

 ginning just within the base of the discoidal cell and terminating in 

 a point near to the centre of inner margin, a slender subcostal dash 

 near the base, five spots on the apical half of costa, a squamose 

 patch across the median veins, and the terminations of the nervures 

 black-brown ; secondaries greyish, particularly towards the outer 

 margin ; body sordid white : primaries below grey, the costal margin 

 white, crossed by greyish spots towards apex ; secondaries paler grey, 

 the costa white ; body below white. Expanse of wings 4^ lines. 



Coll. Dr. Hector. 



A curious little species, found on the Canterbury plains amongst 

 scrubby bushes.
