44 Transactions.— Zoology. 
Male, 101-19 mm. ; female, 14 mm.—Head and thorax in male deep 
brownish-ochreous, in female reddish-ochreous. Forewings narrow, costa 
moderately arched, hindmargin almost straight, rather strongly oblique ; 
in male deep brownish-ochreous, mixed with dark fuscous, especially pos- 
teriorly, in female reddish-ochreous, with a few dark fuscous scales; a 
tolerably distinct dark fuscous dot in disc beyond middle: cilia ochreous, 
towards anal angle in male greyish, in female whitish. Hindwings and 
cilia in male blackish, in female whitish. 
Markedly distinct by its unicolorous forewings, and the strongly-con- 
trasted hindwings. 
Taken in plenty in January amongst long grass near Hamilton, on the 
skirts of the forest. This, as well as the other species, appears to be very 
local. 
6. HanwoLoca, n.g. 
Thorax smooth or rarely crested. Antenne in male ciliated. Palpi 
moderate or rather long, porrected, second joint triangularly scaled. Fore- 
wings in male with strong costal fold. Hindwings broader than forewings. 
Forewings with 12 veins, 7 and 8 separate, 7 to hindmargin. Hindwings 
with 8 veins, 8 and 4 separate at origin, 5 approximated at base to 4, 6 and 
7 stalked or separate. 
Separated from Proselena by the costal fold, from Cacoecia by the separa- 
tion of veins 8 and 4 of hindwings. To this genus belong some of the 
species formerly referred provisionally to Cacoecia ; I have at present five 
New Zealand species, but have not observed the genus as occurring else- 
where. These species, which are very various in superficial appearance, 
may be separated as follows :—
