9. Eur. cymosema, n. sp. 
Male, female.—25-29 mm. Forewings moderate, hindmargin rather 
strongly sinuate; brown-whitish, sometimes more or less suffused with 
brown; numerous fine dark fuscous sinuate subdentate lines ; three before 
middle and four beyond middle more blackish, generally partially suffused 
with brown, leaving a clear median space on costal half, in which is a trans- 
verse blackish discal dot; hindmargin suffusedly greyish; a suffused oblique 
dark fuscous subapical streak. Hindwings moderate, hindmargin irregularly 
crenulate, somewhat projecting in middle; grey-whitish; several subdentate 
grey lines, only distinct towards inner margin ; a dark grey discal dot. 
Variable only in the de ee of brownish suffusion ; in the markings of 
the forewings it agrees almost exactly with some forms of Harp. megaspilata, 
but, apart from structure, may be always known by the whitish hindwings, 
and rather larger size. 
Dunedin ; ten specimens sent to Mr. Fereday by Captain Hutton. 
10. HARPALYCE, n. g. 
Face with a cone of projecting scales, Palpi rather long, triangularly 
sealed, porrected. Antenne in male bipectinated (5-7), Forewings with 
vein 6 rising out of 9, 7 from angle of areole, 10 out of 9 below 8, 11 shortly 
anastomosing with 9, 12 free. Hindwings with veins 6 and 7 stalked, 
8 anastomosing with 7 from near base to near transverse vein. 
Closely allied to Eurydice. 
10. Harp. megaspilata, Walk. 
esca (?) ee, Walk., 1198; Cidaria assata, Feld., cxxxi., 4; Cidaria 
ta, Feld , 6; Larentia (?) rufescens, Butl., Cist. Ent., ii., 502.) 
diei gee mm. Forewings moderate, apex rounded, hind- 
margin strongly sinuate; whitish-ochreous, reddish-fuscous, or grey; 
about eighteen transverse curved dentate fuscous or dark fuscous stri®; 
seventh to twelfth usually darker or blackish, diverging so as to leave a 
clear pale or sometimes whitish space between eighth and ninth towards 
costa or throughout, containing a blackish discal dot above middle; a 
fuscous or blackish blotch towards hindmargin beneath apex. Hindwings 
moderate, hindmargin sinuate above middle, obtusely projecting in middle ; 
pale yellowish-ochreous, sometimes fuscous-tinged ; towards inner margin 
indistinctly striated with fuscous. 
Very variable in colour, and also in the discal approximation of the 
median lines; the form of the forewings is, however, rather peculiar and 
easily recognized. 
Makatoku (Hawke’s Bay), Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Mount 
Hutt, Dunedin, and probably throughout the islands; common amongst 
bush, from December to March ; forty-five specimens,
