Meyricx.—On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera. 51 
wholly obsolete and faintly outlined; two or three’ small blackish dots 
before middle of hindmargin ; sometimes a faint greyish triangular costal 
patch before apex, containing two or three blackish costal dots: cilia 
whitish, base dotted with black, on upper half dark fuscous towards base. 
Hindwings white (in one female whitish-grey), spotted with grey ; cilia 
white, base dotted with grey, round apex greyish. 
Conspicuously distinct through the white ground-colour; in form of 
wing resembling a Cacoecia, but the male has not the slightest trace of a 
fold. : 
Originally described from one specimen taken near Auckland in 
January. I lately obtained five fine specimens near Christchurch in 
April, and have seen four others from the same place; the species is very 
distinct, and has no affinity with obliquana, Walk., as suggested.

took it near South Rakaia in March, amongst rough herbage.
