quite touching hindmargin; above this are sometimes one or two very 
short blackish-fuscous lines on veins; generally a hindmarginal row of cloudy 
blackish dots: cilia ochreous-whitish, mixed with white, with two pale grey 
lines. Hindwings 14, in male grey-whitish, with a grey lunule ; in female 
whitish-grey, becoming darker grey posteriorly, with a darker lunule ; cilia 
white, in female with a grey line. 
Conspicuously characterized by the sharply-defined interrupted blackish 
streak from base to apex. 
Christchurch and Lake Wakatipu, on dry grassy hill-slopes, in Decem- 
ber, February and March; tolerably common. 
* 8. Terraprosopus, Butl. 
Forehead vertical. Ocelli present. Tongue well-developed. Antenne 
moderate, 3 of forewings, in male filiform, hardly perceptibly ciliated (4). 
Labial palpi rather long, straight, porrected, second joint beneath with 
dense projecting tuft, terminal joint moderately long, exposed. Maxillary 
palpi rather long, triangularly dilated. Posterior tibie with outer spurs 
half inner. Abdomen moderate. Forewings with vein 11 rather oblique. 
Hindwings almost twice as broad as forewings; 8 remote from 4, 4 and 5 
stalked ; lower median naked; discal area above it furnished with long 
hairs, continued almost to hindmargin ; internal area loosely haired. 
Differs from Xeroscopa only by the approximate obsolescence of the 
antennal ciliations. But the extension of the discal hairs of the hind- 
wings almost to the hindmargin is only found also in X. philonephes, of 
which the male is unknown, and it is possible that that species should be 
referred to this genus, in which case there would be an additional point of 
distinction. 
Butler's characters for this genus do not suffice to separate it from 
Scoparia. 
* 60. Tetr. meyrickii, Butl, 
(Tetraprosopus meyrickii, Butl., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1882, 97.) 
Male, female, —24-25 mm. Head and thorax greyish-fuscous, or reddish- 
ochreous-brown, often mixed with whitish, sometimes with a blackish- 
fuscous lateral stripe from eye to extremity of patagia. Palpi 24, dark 
fuscous, mixed with white above, basal joint white. Antenne dark fuscous. 
Abdomen light ochreous-grey. Legs whitish, anterior and middle pair 
suffused with dark fuscous. Forewings elongate-oblong, narrow, hardly 
dilated, narrow, costa almost straight, apex obtuse, hindmargin straight, 
rather oblique; greyish-fuseous or ochreous-fuscous, irrorated irregularly 
with whitish and darker fuscous; first line very obsoletely indicated, 
strongly angulated above middle; sometimes an irregular blackish streak 
from base along submedian fold to first line, often obsolete ; a dark fuscous
