18. Asth. pulchraria, Dbld. 
(Acidalia pulchraria, Dbld., Dieff. N.Z., ii, 286; Chlorochroma plurilineata, Walk., 563, 
676; Asthena ondinata, Gn., ix., 438, pl. xix., 4, Butl. Cat., pl. iii, 20; Cidaria 
ondinata, Feld., exxviii., 17.) . 
Male, female,—24-26 mm. Forewings moderate, hindmargin more or 
less rounded; greenish-whitish; numerous light bluish-green slightly curved 
dentate strie ; a darker green discal dot; costa narrowly fuscous. Hind- 
wings moderate, hindmargin somewhat projecting in middle ; colour, stris, 
and discal dot as in forewings, but strie absent towards base. 
Variable in form of wing, principally in convexity of hindmargin ; occa- 
sionally the fuscous suffusion of the costa is very slight. From Tasmania I 
have a form which is brighter and yellower green, with the lines and hind- 
margin straighter. 
Hawke’s Bay, Wellington, Arthur’s Pass (2,600 feet), and Dunedin, 
amongst bush, in January; also from Tasmania and South-east Australia 
ten specimens. 
19. Asth. schistaria, Walk. 
(Acidalia schistaria, Walk., 782; Asthena ad punti Walk., 1588; Acidalia tuhuata, 
eld., 
Male, female.—23-26 mm. enga moderate; hindmargin rounded 
or faintly sinuate ; grey-whitish ; numerous purplish-grey slightly curved 
dentate strie ; a dark fuscous discal dot; a stria before middle and another 
beyond middle generally darker or partially blackish, sometimes broadly 
suffused on lower half; a hindmarginal row of very numerous dark fuscous 
dots. Hindwings moderate, hindmargin in male rounded, in female pro- 
jecting in middle ; colour and markings as in forewings. 
Variable in intensity of colouring and in the presence of the median 
suffusion. 
Wellington, Christchurch, Akaroa, Dunedin, especially fsi Lep- 
tospermum, from January to March ; twenty-one specimens. I do not know 
that this species is found in Australia, but should think it very probable. 
It only differs from the preceding in colour, but I have seen no approach to 
any connecting forms. 
16. Scorosra, Stph. 
Face with more or less projecting scales. Palpi moderate, roughly tri- 
angular-scaled, porrected. Antenne in male stout, serrate, shortly ciliated 
(4). Thorax slightly crested. Forewings with vein 6 frum a point with or 
below 9, 7 from angle of areole, 10 anastomosing moderately with 9, 11 
anastomosing rather strongly with 10, 12 free. Hindwings normal.
