middle, in male obscure; a curved transverse dark fuscous line near hind- 
margin, often obsolete: cilia in male ferruginous mixed with dark fuscous, 
in female reddish-ochreous, lighter towards tips. Hindwings dark fuscous- 
grey; with a dark fuscous line near base. 
Easily known by its ferruginous or reddish-ochreous colouring, which 
in the female closely approaches that of the much larger Cicophora 
phegophylla. 
Lake Wakatipu, in December ; very common amongst Fagus solandri, 
from 1,000 to 3,000 feet.

Minor, alis ant. ochreo-flavis, partim griseo-suffusis, puncto disci nigro ; 
post. saturate griseis, basim versus dilutioribus. 
Male, female.—12-143 mm. Head and palpi ochreous-yellow, anterior

obscurely ochreous-whitish, posterior tibia with very dense ochreous- 
whitish hairs. Forewings moderate, costa moderately arched, apex round-

The irregular grey suffusion causes this insect to look like a yellow 
species in bad condition. A

herbage, at about 5,000 feet.

APPENDIX. 
A certain number of descriptions, probably referable to species of this 
family, I have not been able to identify with any specimens in my posses- 
sion. Some of these probably indicate good species ; others are so inade- 
quate as to remain always unidentifiable. I give here a list of these, with 
remarks; the number prefixed to each is for reference in the index 
only. 
56. Izatha attactella, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat., 787. 
I noted this in the British Museum collection as apparently a new 
species of Semiocosma. Large; forewings whitish, irrorated with grey, 
with a black longitudinal interrupted streak, some dark fuscous transverse 
discal marks, and: a row of black spots along hindmargin and apical third 
of costa ; hindwings light grey. .
