Minor, alis ant. fuscis, fascia media directa, macula cost triangulari, 
. alteraque anguli analis angusta erecta saturatioribus; post. griseis. 
Male, female.—18-16 mm. Head and thorax dark fuscous ; palpi rather 
long. Forewings moderately broad, subtriangular, costa moderately arched, . 
hindmargin sinuate, oblique; dull reddish-fuscous, strigulated with darker, 
with dark reddish-fuscous markings ; outer edge of basal patch indicated by 
an indistinct rather irregular line; central fascia moderately broad, not 
oblique, from middle of costa to middle of inner margin, anterior edge 
straight, well-defined, posterior edge suffused, connected with a cloudy spot 
in dise beyond middle ; a triangular spot on costa at 1 ; a short erect streak 
from anal angle, reaching nearly half across wing : cilia pale reddish-fuscous, 
with a strong blackish basal line. Hindwings grey, indistinctly spotted with 
darker ; cilia pale grey, with a darker basal line. 
Considerably broader-winged than the following species, and widely 
distinct by the fuscous colouring and straight perpendicular central 
fascia. 
I took one specimen at Auckland in January; Mr. R. W. Fereday has 
two others, taken at Christchurch in November and December. 
25. Dipt. imbriferana, Meyr. 
(Dipterina imbriferana, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1881, 527.) 
Parva, alis ant. albidis, area basali, fascia media angulata, macula costs, 
alteraque anguli analis griseis ; post. griseis. 
Male, female.—93-12 mm. Head and thorax whitish ; palpi moderate. 
Forewings rather narrow, not dilated, costa moderately arched, hindmargin 
obliquely rounded ; whitish, sometimes faintly clouded with grey, obscurely 
strigulated with fuscous-grey ; basal patch more or less fuscous-grey, outer 
edge irregularly angulated in middle ; central fascia suffusedly fuscous-grey, 
obscurely margined with dark-fuscous, moderate, rather narrower towards 
costa, running from middle of costa to middle of inner margin, angulated in 
middle; apical portion of wing more distinctly strigulated with fuscous- 
grey, strigule generally coalescing to form a spot on costa at 1, a smaller 
spot on anal angle, and sometimes one on middle of hindmargin: cilia 
whitish, with a grey basal line. Hindwings grey, darker posteriorly ; cilia 
grey, with a darker basal line. 
An inconspicuous species, yet not like any other. 
Taken at Auckland and Wellington in January.
