oblique; reddish-ochreous; a round cloudy dark fuscous-grey dot in disc at 
4, a second at 2, a third more obscure on fold beyond first, in the female speci- 
men all obsolete; cilia reddish-ochreous, becoming whitish-ochreous towards 
tips. Hindwings whitish, faintly ochreous-tinged, towards inner angle 
suffused with grey ; cilia whitish, tinged with grey at inner angle. 
Immediately known by the grey basal suffusion of the hindwings, and 
the pronounced reddish-ochreous forewings. This and the two following 
species are rather closely allied. i 
Wellington and Castle Hill, in January; two specimens. Walker's type 
is certainly of this species ; it is stated to be from Auckland, but no reliance 
can be placed on this. 
97. Gymn. sarcowantha, n. sp. 
Media, alis ant. dilute ochreis, punctis disci tribus saturate ochreo- 
fuscis ; post. ochreo-albidis. 
Male.—19-20 mm. Head, palpi, antenne, and thorax whitish-ochreous,

larger and oblique, at 2, and a third, very small, on fold very obliquely 
beyond first: cilia whitish-ochreous. Hindwings whitish, faintly ochreous- 
tinged: cilia ochreous-whitish. 
Very near the preceding, but with the forewings more elongate, and the

wings without any grey suffusion.
