Meyrick.—On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera. 17 
small spot on inner margin near base dark fuscous ; a thick black transverse 
streak from + of costa to + of inner margin, becoming obsolete towards 
margins but very conspicuous in dise, very obtusely and roundly angulated 
outwards in middle, including two tufts of raised scales, between which is a 
ferruginous mark; between this streak and base the ground-colour is often 
dark grey; beyond this streak is sometimes a broad transverse whitish band, 
becoming white on costa, but generally suffused and obsolete; an elongate 
cloudy dark grey spot along costa about middle, beneath which are some 
irregular ferruginous marks in disc ; two small tufts of scales in dise beyond 
middle ; a cloudy blackish-grey transverse line proceeding from costa at + 
obliquely inwards, a little beneath costa sharply bent outwards, and thence 
curved to anal angle; two or three obscure blackish-grey spots round apex : 
cilia whitish-grey, with two cloudy dark fuscous lines. Hindwings grey, 
towards apex dark grey; cilia whitish-grey, with two cloudy grey 
lines. 
Characterized by the very obtuse angulation of the anterior line, which 
is so rounded as hardly to form any apparent angle, and is also much 
thicker, blacker, and more conspicuous in disc than in the allied species. 
Christchurch and Dunedin, in January and February; common in 
forest.
