suffused with yellowish. Forewings oblong, hardly dilated, in male moder- 
ately broad, in female narrower, costa moderately arched, hindmargin not 
oblique, in male gently rounded, in female sinuate beneath apex; dull 
greyish-fuscous, irregularly suffused in male with golden-ochreous-yellow, 
in female with light yellowish-ochreous; in male extreme costal edge 
whitish except near base, in female costa narrowly white throughout : cilia 
in male ochreous-grey-whitish, basal half suffused with yellowish, in female 
white, base ochreous-tinged. Hindwings in male deep ferruginous-yellow 
mixed with dark grey, especially posteriorly, so as sometimes to form a 
broad dark hindmarginal band, and an obscure discal spot beyond middle, 
eosta towards middle broadly paler, cilia whitish-yellow, at base and on 
anal angle ferruginous-yellow ; in female dull white, becoming broadly pale 
yellow posteriorly, eilia white, at base pale yellow. 
Conspicuous by its large size and distinetly coloured hindwings. 
Common at Porter’s Pass and Mount Hutt, in January, but probably 
confined to the mountain districts. I owe my specimens to the kindness of 
Mr. J. D. Enys, who also furnished Butler’s original type.

Male, female,—15-17 mm. Head and thorax whitish ; palpi elongate, 
externally mixed with dark fuscous. Forewings moderate, oblong, hardly 
dilated, costa in male slightly arched, bent before middle, in female strongly

blackish-fuscous narrow fascia proceeding from costa at 1 obliquely inwards 
to dise, thence abruptly to base beneath costa, in female by a dark fuscous 
fascia from costa before 4, irregularly angulated below costa, bent inwards 
in disc as in male, but less defined; central fascia rather narrow, dark 
fuscous, from costa before middle to inner margin beyond middle, in male 
obsolete towards costa, in female distinct throughout, anterior edge dark- 
margined, posterior edge suffused ; a rather ill-defined fuscous triangular 
patch extending on costa from middle to before apex, its lower extremity 
usually connected with central fascia and anal angle by two irregularly 
curved cloudy lines; a cloudy fuscous spot on middle of hindmargin, its 
anterior edge marked with from two to four blackish dots; hindmargin 
sometimes fotted with black: cilia grey-whitish, becoming dark fuscous
