fuscous; a rather broad slightly curved oblique transverse fascia from + of 
costa to 1 of inner margin, and a second from middle of costa to $ of inner 
margin ; a transverse somewhat narrower perpendicular spot from costa at 
3, reaching more than half across wing, narrowed beneath, almost touching 
second fascia ; a streak along hindmargin : cilia dark purple-grey. Hind- 
wings and cilia dark fuscous. 
Allied to the preceding, but very distinct ; it is a striking and handsome 
species. 
Wellington, in December ; one specimen at rest on a fence. 
14, CREMNOGENES, N. g. 
Head smooth, sidetufts small, loosely spreading. Antenne in male 
moderate or rather stout, with whorls of cilia at joints or closely set over 
whole surface (1-2), basal joint rather elongate, with pecten. Palpi mode- 
rately long, second joint somewhat exceeding base of antenn®, with dense 
appressed scales, slightly rough beneath towards apex, terminal joint 
shorter than second, slender, curved. Thorax smooth. Forewings mode- 
rate, apex pointed, hindmargin oblique. Hindwings somewhat narrower 
than forewings, elongate-ovate, hindmargin rounded, cilia $. Abdomen 
rather elongate, stout. Posterior tibie clothed with long fine hairs. Fore- 
wings with vein 7 to costa, 2 from near angle of cell. Hindwings normal, 
Closely allied to GZcophora, from which it differs in the ciliations of the 
antenne in male; these are not arranged in a single series, but either in 
whorls at the joints (C. ozyina), when they are also proportionately longer, 
or closely set over the entire surface (C. aphrontis). I think these two 
forms may be justly included in the same genus, at least for the present ; 
besides these I have probably two other species of the genus, which I 
cannot venture yet to describe.

Male, female.—18-15 mm. Head, palpi, antenne, thorax, and abdomen 
dark fuscous, slightly ochreous-tinged ; thorax with a small sharply-defined 
ochreous-whitish lateral spot. Legs dark fuscous-grey. Forewings in 
male elongate, in female rather shorter, costa moderately arched, apex 
pointed, hindmargin slightly sinuate, extremely oblique; dark fuscous, — 
mixed and suffused with reddish-ochreous or ferruginous, in female almost 
wholly reddish-ochreous, becoming deeper along fold ; an ochreous-whitish, 
often indistinct or obsolete, streak along inner margin from base to i,
