Hawke's Bay district I observed this species flying in immense profusion, 
literally in elouds; they must here have committed frightful ravages on the 
grass. 
C. flexuosellus, Dbld. Taranaki, Lake Wakatipu and Invercargill; as a 
rule not above 2,000 feet, but at Lake Wakatipu I took a single isolated 
specimen at 4,500 feet, the species being at the time common at the lower 
levels. 
C. tuhualis, Feld. Castle Hill (2,500 feet). 
C. cyclopicus, Meyr. Napier; also in April. 
C. harpophorus, Meyr.  Arthurs Pass (2,500 feet), Lake Wakatipu 
(4,200 feet); also in December. 
C. strigosus, Butl. Palmerston and Masterton. 
C. aanthogrammus, Meyr. Castle Hill, in the bed of the Porter River 
(2,800 feet), and in that of the Waimakariri River (2,100 feet), taken com- 
monly in January and February; this species sits persistently on the small 
bare shingle and gravel of the river-beds, the variegated colours of which it 
exactly imitates; if disturbed it flies a very short distance close to the 
ground, and settles again. The hindwings should have been described as 
light grey (not whitish).
