TORTRICIDA. 
Pyreoris, Meyr. 
Pyrg. eudorana, n. sp. 
Media, alis ant. ochreo-rufis, area basali externe non angulata, fascia 
media perobliqua latiore recta, strigulaque subapicali saturatioribus, ciliis 
purpureo-fuscis ; post. flavido-albis, apice flavidiore. 
Female.—20 mm, Head, palpi, and thorax purplish-ochreous. An- 
tenne ochreous-whitish. Abdomen and legs yellow-whitish, anterior and 
. middle pair suffused with reddish-fuscous. Forewings broad, oblong, costa 
anteriorly very strongly arched, apex round-pointed, produced, hindmargin 
strongly sinuate, hardly oblique; purplish-ochreous, obscurely strigulated 
with greyish-purple; a slightly darker purplish basal patch, its outer edge 
extending from 1 of costa to 2 of inner margin, not angulated ; central fascia 
straight, broad throughout, greyish purple, suffused with bright reddish- 
ochreous on upper half posteriorly, running from middle of costa to anal 
angle; a more distinct strigula from 2 of costa to hindmargin below middle: 
cilia rather dark fuscous purplish. Hindwings yellow-whitish, towards apex 
more yellowish, somewhat spotted with pale grey towards inner margin ; 
cilia yellow-whitish. 
A handsome species, readily known by the different form of wing, 
straight outline of basal patch, and broad central fascia; the costa is very 
much more strongly arched anteriorly than in any other species. Although 
the male is not known to me, I have no doubt of the generic position. 
Taranaki, in February; one specimen amongst forest.
