41. SicuLopes, Gn. 
Face densely scaled, subconical. Palpi short, porrected, densely scaled, 
terminal joint short. Antenne in male rather stout, dentate, shortly 
ciliated (+). Forewings with 12 veins, 8 and 9 short-stalked, rest separate. 
Hindwings with 8 separate veins, 6 and 7 approximated towards base, 
8 free, approaching 7 in middle. 
Hitherto only known from South America, where it attains considerable 
development. 
90. Sic. subfasciata, Walk. > 
(Morova subfasciata, Walk., Suppl., ii., 523; Cacecia gallicolens, Butl., Cat., 46.) 
Male, female.—24-27 mm. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa rather 
strongly sinuate, suddenly and strongly bent near apex, apex rectangular, 
hindmargin strongly sinuate; reddish-ochreous, often suffused with reddish- 
fuscous ; reticulated throughout with reddish-fuscous or dark fuscous ; 
three indistinct darker fascie, tending to become obsolete towards inner 
margin; first about 1, curved; second beyond middle, dilated above, fur- 
cate on costa; third subterminal, slender, furcate on costa. Hindwings 
moderate, hindmargin sinuate so as to project broadly in middle; colour 
and reticulation as in forewings ; an indistinct darker fascia near base, and 
a broader one in middle. 
Variable in depth of colouring. 
Larva 16-legged, living in gall-like swellings of the stem of Parsonsia 
(Apocynea), according to Mr. Fereday ; I have seen the empty galls 
said to be produced by this species. Pupa in the same position. An 
accurate description of this larva and its habits would be of much 
value. 
Christchurch, Akaroa, and Dunedin, amongst bush, in January and 
February; ten specimens. 
Aprenpix I. 
The following have been described or figured as New Zealand species, 
and are not yet identified; probably most are synonyms of species pre- 
viously described ; a few seem to have been recorded in error; there may 
perhaps be two or three additional species among them. They are num- 
bered consecutively with the others, for convenience of reference in the 
index. 
91. Ennomos ustaria, Walk., 1519. 
92. Ischalis thermochromata, Walk., 1750. 
93. Panagra hypenaria, Gn., Butl. Cat., pl. iii., 10. This is a well- 
known Australian species, of which I have seen no New Zealand specimen ; 
it is probably stated to occur by error.
