Mevricx.—On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera. 81 
a transverse series of tolerably distinct elongate dark fuscous dots crossing 
wing from 4 of costa to inner margin before anal angle, strongly angulated 
outwards in middle; veins posteriorly indistinctly marked with lines of 
whitish scales; a very fine dark grey hindmarginal line: cilia grey, indis- 
tinctly barred with whitish, and with extreme base whitish. Hindwings 
grey-whitish ; cilia whitish, with a faint grey line. 
Easily known from C. strigosus by the hook on the lower margin of the 
central streak, and the much narrower forewings. 
Mr. R. W. Fereday took several specimens near Lake Wakatipu in 
January. : Wolke

irregularly irrorated with black and white scales; veins posteriorly in- 
distinctly lined with white scales; a short slender suffused blackish streak 
beneath costa at base; a straight thick longitudinal black streak beneath 
middle from base to middle of disc, much attenuated at base, lower edge 
suffused towards extremity ; a short thick very oblique black streak in dise 
above extremity of basal streak, uniting with it to form a pointed hook ; 
basal streak generally margined above by an ill-defined ochreous-white 
streak filling up the hook, sometimes suffusedly extending towards base 
almost to costa, sometimes almost obsolete; a very elongate-elliptical 
slender blackish ring in dise above middle, often partially obsolete; a 
-blackish suffusion between branches of submedian vein at base; a strongly 
and regularly dentate outwards-curved slender blackish transverse line from 
+ of costa to $ of inner margin, sinuate beneath, posteriorly margined by a 
whitish suffusion ; a row of distinct black dots on hindmargin : cilia whitish 
mixed with light grey, faintly barred. Hindwings grey-whitish, slightly 
suffused posteriorly with fuscous-grey; à cloudy grey line towards hind-
