Meyrick.—On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera. 65 
Male, female.—9-104 mm. Head and thorax dark fuscous, sprinkled 
with ashy-whitish. Forewings narrow, costa hardly arched, hindmargin 
sinuate, very oblique; dark fuscous, irrorated with grey and ashy-whitish 
scales, especially on basal half and before apex, tending to form irregular 
transverse lines; sometimes an indistinct ochreous suffusion towards inner 
margin before middle, and above anal angle: cilia dark fuscous, extreme 
tips and base ashy-whitish. Hindwings dark fuscous; cilia dark fuscous, 
with a darker basal line. 
Taken rather commonly amongst et herbage near a swamp at 
Hamilton, in January. 
19. Exonn, n.g. 
Thorax smooth. Antenna in male ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, 
second joint roughly haired. Forewings with costa in male simple.’ Hind- 
wings broader than forewings. Forewings with 12 veins, 7 and 8 separate, 
7 to hindmargin. Hindwings with 7 veins (normal veins 8 and 4 coinci- 
dent), 4 parallel to 8, 5 and 6 separate. 
I cannot affirm for certain that this genus is correctly located; it is 
impossible to make out on the single specimen whether the lower median 
is truly pectinated or not, but in other respects it seems to have some 
affinity with the group of Strepsiceros, though the antenne are not 
notched. 
86. Exor. mochlophorana, n. sp. 
Parva, alis ant. dilute griseo-ochreis, fascia antica subcurva, altera 
postiea inferius dilatata, tertia subapicali, macula coste media alteraque 
apicis saturate fuscis ; post. griseis. 
Male.—101 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen fuscous, mixed with pale 
greyish-ochreous. Palpi grey-whitish, externally suffused with fuscous. 
Antenne dark fuscous. Legs dark fuscous, posterior tibie grey-whitish, 
apex of joints obscurely pale. Forewings very narrow, costa hardly arched, 
hindmargin nearly straight, extremely oblique; pale greyish-ochreous, 
obscurely strigulated with grey, and with scattered dark fuscous scales ; 
base mixed with dark fuscous ; two small dark fuscous spots on costa near 
base; a moderately broad slightly curved dark fuscous fascia from 4 of 
costa to 2 of inner margin; a small dark fuscous spot on middle of costa; a 
dark fuscous fascia from 3 of costa to anal angle, upper half narrow, lower 
half very broadly dilated ; a narrow somewhat irregular dark fuscous fascia 
from 5 of costa to middle of hindmargin ; a small dark fuscous apical spot: 
cilia ochreous-whitish mixed with grey. Hindwings rather dark grey; cilia 
grey, tips paler. 
A very distinct species, in form and marking somewhat resembling 
Eurythecta robusta.
