28. Hypernia, Latr. 
Face smooth. Palpi short, roughly scaled, porrected. Antenne in 
male bipectinated (5-6). Female semiapterous. Forewings with vein 6 
from below 9, 7 out of 9, 10 separate, 11 obsolete (probably coincident 
with 10), 12 free. Hindwings normal. 
A small genus, occurring also in Europe; the only one in New Zealand 
in which the female is semiapterous, or vein 11 of the forewings absent. 
72. Hyb. indocilis, Walk. 
(Zermizinga indocilisaria, Walk., 1530; Hybernia boreophilaria, Gn., E.M.M., v., 61.) 
Male.—25-34 mm. Forewings moderate, hindmargin rounded, crenu- 
late ; pale fuscous-grey, closely irrorated with dark fuscous ; a somewhat 
irregular curved cloudy dark fuscous line at }; an irregular median line ; 
a third beyond middle, twice sinuate; a fourth towards hindmargin, some- 
times followed by a very obscure whitish dentate subterminal line; a 
blackish hindmarginal line. Hindwings moderate, hindmargin somewhat 
obtusely projecting in middle, crenulate ; colour as in forewings; a curved 
obscure line before middle; a dark fuscous discal dot; a distinct hardly 
sinuate dark fuscous line” beyond middle; an obscure darker subterminal 
shade; a blackish hindmarginal line. 
Female.—12-14 mm. Wings exceedingly narrow, apex suddenly dilated, 
angles acute, hindmargin dentate; colour and markings as in male, but 
lines black and sharply marked. 
Tolerably constant. 
Christchurch and the plains near, from July to January. Mr. R. W. 
Fereday states that the male is found plentifully amongst Leptospermum, at 
rest on the bare ground, and the female on the stems ; thirty-five specimens. 
I have corrected Walker’s inadmissibly barbarous name.
