80. Scop. ustimacula, Feld. 
(Scoparia ustimacula, Feld., Reis. Nov., pl. exxxv., 17; Scoparia conifera, Butl., Cist. 
Ent., ii., 493.) 
Male.—21 mm. Head and thorax ochreous, mixed with white, reddish- 
fuscous, and black; patagia margined with white. Palpi 21, ochreous- 
fuscous, basal joint white. Antenne fuscous; ciliations 14. Abdomen 
light grey.. Legs ochreous-white, tibie and tarsi banded with black. Fore- 
wings rather elongate, triangular, costa gently arched, apex rounded, hind- 
margin somewhat sinuate, oblique; rather bright ochreous; costa and 
inner margin irrorated with black and white; base suffused with dark 
fuscous ; a slender obscure whitish line near before first line; first line 
slender, white, posteriorly irregularly black-margined, not curved, rather 
oblique, thrice sinuate; a broad fascia-like oblique blackish streak from 
costa immediately beyond first line, white-margined, reaching submedian 
fold, apex rounded; a similar inwardly oblique broad streak from costa 
beyond middle, reaching middle of dise, broadly bifurcate at apex, anterior 
branch almost coalescing with first streak; second line slender, white, 
margined anteriorly on costa, submedian fold, and inner margin by three 
small blackish spots; terminal space somewhat suffused with dark fuscous, 
tending to form streaks on veins ; subterminal line cloudy, whitish, almost 
marginal throughout; a terminal row of white dots: cilia grey-whitish, 
with dark grey anterior and lighter posterior lines. Hindwings 14, whitish- 
grey; central lunule, postmedian line, and hindmargin darker grey; cilia 
as in forewings. 
Also a very distinct and handsome species, characterized by the two 
conspicuous black fasciæ from costa to disc, and unusually long antennal 
ciliations, the longest in the genus. Butler’s description is hardly recogniz- 
able, but is intended for this species, as I have seen his type in the British 
Museum. 
Castle Hill (Mr. J. D. Enys) and Dunedin (Mr. A. Purdie), probably 
amongst bush ; I have not met with the species myself; three specimens. 
81. Scop. pongalis, Feld. 
(Scoparia pongalis, Feld., Reis. Nov., pl. exxxvii., 33.) 
Male, female.—15-19 mm. Head, antenne, and thorax whitish-grey, 
slightly ochreous-tinged, shoulders narrowly black; antennal ciliations, 4. 
Palpi 3, dark fascous, apex and basal joint whitish. Abdomen ochreous- 
whitish. Legs grey-whitish, tibiæ and tarsi somewhat suffused with darker 
grey. Forewings somewhat elongate, triangular, costa slightly arched, 
apex obtuse, hindmargin rather oblique, faintly sinuate ; pale whitish-grey, 
slightly ochreous-tinged, with a few scattered grey and black scales ; first 
line only indicated by a short cloudy blackish oblique streak from inner
