28 Transactions.— Zoology. 
Occurs at Hamilton, Cambridge, Christchurch, Ashburton, and at the 
foot of Mount Hutt, from January to March, generally in abundance; it is 
probably universally distributed. 
Prof. Zeller kindly forwarded to me his unpublished figures of the 
specimens from which his descriptions quoted above were taken, enabling 
me to decide that they were all truly referable to varieties of this 
species. 
12. Cr. flexuosellus, Dbld. 
(Crambus flexuosellus, Dbld., Dieff. New Zealand, Vol. IL, 289; Feld., Reise der Novara, 
Pl. CXXXVII,, 32.) 
Male, Female. — 20-24 mm. Head and palpi rather dark ochreous- 
fuscous; labial palpi moderate, white beneath. Antenne fuscous-grey. 
Thorax ochreous grey or light greyish-fuscous. Abdomen whitish-grey- 
ochreous. Legs whitish-ochreous, more or less wholly suffused with dark 
fuscous. Forewings moderate, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa gently 
arched, very slightly sinuate in middle, apex obtuse, hindmargin little 
oblique, slightly sinuate ; rather light greyish-fuscous, sprinkled with dark 
fuscous, costal space above white streak dark fuscous; a well-defined 
straight moderately broad longitudinal white streak above middle from base - 
to hindmargin immediately beneath apex, upper edge very near costa on 
basal 2, thence twice sinuate to apex, lower edge twice irregularly dentate 
beyond middle; an indistinct dark spot on lower edge before middle, and a 
dark fuscous spot in first indentation, indieating first transverse line; 
second transverse line tolerably distinct, dark fuscous, closely but indistinctly 
dentate, from costa at 2 to inner margin at 4, angulated outwards on lower 
edge of white streak, obsolete on costa, where it is often followed by a 
suffused ochreous mark ; a slender dark fuscous hindmarginal line; three 
or four minute black dots on hindmargin below middle : cilia shining-grey, 
with a dark-grey line near base, and a white basal line on upper half, pro- 
duced into a white bar at apex. Hindwings dull whitish-ochreous, apex 
fuscous-grey, hindmargin more or less suffused with light fuscous-grey ; 
cilia whitish-ochreous, with two faint grey lines. 
Very distinct by the ochreous-fuscous head and palpi, the position of the 
white streak above middle, and the dark fuscous costal space. 
Occurs at Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and probably 
everywhere, abundantly from December to April. 
13. Cr. tuhualis, Feld. 
(Crambus tuhualis, Feld., Reise der Novara, Pl. CXXXVII., 18; Crambus vulgaris, Butl., 
Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1877, 400, Pl. XLIII., 7.) 
| Male, female.—20-25 mm. Head brownish-ochreous or fuscous. Palpi 
greyish fuscous or dark fuscous, labial palpi moderate, beneath whitish.
