94. Streps. zopherana, Meyr. 
(Strepsiceros zopherana, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1881, 688.) 
Parva, alis ant. griseis, albido-sparsis, vitta subcostali nebulosa inter- 
rupta nivea, subtus partim nigro-marginata, macula parva supra angulum 
analem nigra; post. griseis. 
Male, female.—11-121 mm. Head and thorax grey irrorated with 
white, head sometimes almost wholly white. Antenne of male notched at 
$ from basal joint. Forewings very narrow, costa slightly arched, apex 
produeed, hindmargin sinuate, very oblique ; dark grey, irrorated with 
whitish, sometimes strigulated with dark fuscous ; costa very obliquely 
strigulated with blackish-grey ; a rather broad ill-defined white streak 
beneath costa from base to apex, crossed by an oblique dark grey fascia-like 
streak before middle, and three or four slender dark grey very oblique 
strigule between that and apex; middle of dise somewhat suffused with 
blackish ; an ill-defined black spot above anal angle; a short black line 
bordering subcostal streak beneath towards apex; generally a row of about 
three ill-defined black dots above anal angle towards hindmargin, preceded 
and followed by an obscure silvery-metallic line: cilia dark grey, paler 
towards anal angle, with a blackish apical spot, costal cilia white. Hind- 
wings thinly scaled, grey, darker at apex ; cilia pale grey, with an indistinct 
darker line near base; veins 8 and 4 coincident. 
Variable in distinctness and intensity of marking. 
Generally abundant amongst Leptospermum scoparium, on which the 
larva doubtless feeds; at Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin, 
in August, September, January, and March. 
18. Henpecasticua, Meyr. 
Thorax smooth. Antenne in male ciliated, with an excavated notch 
near base. Palpi moderate, porrected, second joint densely rough-haired 
above and below. Forewings with strong costal fold in male. Hindwings 
broader than forewings. Forewings with 11 separate veins (normal veins 
7 and 8 probably coincident), 7 to costa. Hindwings with 7 veins (normal 
veins 8 and 4 coincident), 4 approximated to 3 at base, 5 and 6 stalked. 
Nearly allied to Strepsiceros, but differing in only possessing 11 veins 
in the forewings. The genus contains only the one New Zealand 
species. X 
95. Hend. ethaliana, Meyr. 
(Hendecasticha ethaliana, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1881, 692.) 
Parva, alis ant. saturate fuscis, strigulis transversis albidis obsoletis ;
