Mzvnick.— On the New Zealand Geometrina. 07 
99. Identified with 42. 
100. Larentia quadristrigata, Walk., 1900 ; Larentia interclusa, ib., 1202. 
Distinct from any species described ; recalls Microdes in appearance ; rather 
small, oblong-winged; white, with irregular eurved dentate fuscous-grey 
lines; three forming a stronger curved band at j, and three others a 
straight band at $, first preceded and second followed by a dark shade. I 
should like to obtain specimens of this for investigation ; I think it may be 
a Microdes, and identical with an Australian species. 
101. Unidentifiable, but possibly a synonym of 49. 
102. Identified with 49. 
108. Identified with 14. 
104. A common Australian species, doubtless recorded from New Zea- 
land in error. 
105. Phibalapteryx suppressaria, Walk., 1721. Distinct from any species 
described; perhaps a Larentia; moderate; costa sinuate; fuscous-grey, 
with oblique, dentate, slightly curved darker lines, a narrow central band 
obscurely whitish, margins darker. Said to be from Auckland. 
106. Identified with 14. 
107. Identified with 47. 
108. Identified with 14. 
109. Unidentifiable, but possibly a worn specimen of 75. 
110. Identified with 87. — 
115. Larentia falcata, Butl., Cist. Ent., ii, 501. Apparently a distinct 
Species; recalls Eurydice rufescens, Butl., but greyer and darker; ef. descr. 
117. Identified with 88. 
118. This is a tolerably common Australian species, also described 
more than once by Walker ; it is doubtless recorded from New Zealand in 
error, and may be dropped. 
The following is an additional species which was overlooked previously. 
Samana acutata, Butl. 
(Samana acutata, Butl., P.Z.S.L., 1877, 401.) 
I have not been able to critically examine this, of which I saw the type ; 
I noted that it was very like S. falcatella, Walk,, but with first dark line 
running from inner margin near base to below costa before middle, lower 
extromity of second connected with anal angle by an oblique streak. 
I also made the following notes on exotic species, which struck me as 
nearly approaching New Zealand species, and as throwing light on ques- 
tions of geographical distribution. 
"idonia edmondsii, Butl., from Chili, is very closely allied to Cephalissa 
siria, Meyr., and is doubtless also a Cephalissa (Geometrina, with orange 
hindwings, are usually classed by Mr. Butler under Fidonia, irrespective of 
structure),
