Mzvnick.— On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera. 131 
15, Dipt. selenea, n. sp. 
Male, female.—14-16 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax ochreous-yellow, 
apex of palpi dark fuscous. Antennæ and abdomen whitish-ochreous. Legs 
ochreous-whitish. Forewings broad, triangular, costa slightly arched, apex 
rounded, hindmargin oblique, slightly rounded, twice indented on upper 
half; pale ochreous-yellowish; markings rather dark reddish-fuscous, 
suffused with deep ochreous-yellow ; a transverse line near base, twice very 
sharply angulated; first line double, from + of costa to before middle of inner 
margin, obtusely angulated outwards in middle, and indented inwards near 
inner margin; an irregular transverse shade from beyond middle of costa to 
beyond middle of inner margin, and another from inner margin before first 
line to costa beyond second line; on the intersection of these is the discal 
spot, which is moderately large, transverse, upper half narrow, dark 
metallic-grey, lower half dilated, round, white ; second line double, from 3 
of costa to 4 of inner margin, moderately curved outwards, hardly sinuate 
below middle ; three sharply-marked longitudinal dark metallic-grey streaks 
from near discal spot to near hindmargin; hindmargin suffused-with deep 
yellow, and marked with three small roundish black spots below middle: 
cilia whitish-yellowish, with a shining dark grey basal line. Hindwings 
white, faintly ochreous-tinged; an ochreous-yellow hindmarginal line ; 
cilia white. 
Nearly allied to D. metallifera, Butl., but apparently distinguished by the 
two transverse fasciæ intersecting in the middle of wing ; in the absence of 
specimens of D. metallifera for comparison I cannot certainly indicate any 
other reliable point of difference. When recently revisiting the British 
Museum, I again examined the specimen of the latter species, and can con- 
firm my previous remarks on the distinctness of the species and the incor- 
rectness of Mr. Butler’s description, but omitted to describe it myself. 
Otira Gorge and Dunedin, in January; four specimens. 
16. Dipt. holanthes, n. sp. 
Male, female.—15-17 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax ochreous-yellow, 
palpi suffused with dark fuscous towards base and apex. Antenne pale 
greyish-ochreous. Abdomen grey. Legs whitish-grey, posterior tarsi 
ochreous-whitish. Forewings broad, triangular, costa slightly arched, apex 
rounded, hindmargin oblique, slightly rounded, twice indented on upper 
half; bright deep ochreous-yellow ; some black scales at base of costa, and 
one or two in dise towards base ; first line very slender, blackish, partially 
obsolete, from 4 of costa to before middle of inner margin, dilated on 
margins and on a dot in middle, obtusely angulated outwards above middle 
and inwards below middle; discal spot represented by two blackish dots 
longitudinally placed ; second line very slender, blackish, tolerably distinct,
