Pros. eremana, n. sp. 
Parva, alis ant. fusco-ochreis, innotatis; post. saturate griseis. 
Male.—12-14 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax brownish-ochreous. An- 
tenne dark fuscous. Abdomen dark grey. Legs whitish-ochreous. Fore- 
wings elongate-oblong, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, hind- 
margin straight, oblique; uniform brownish-ochreous: cilia light brownish- 
ochreous. Hindwings dark grey, posteriorly still darker; cilia pale grey or 
whitish, with a grey line. 
Closely allied to P. siriana, Meyr., but lighter, more ochreous, and 
recognizable by the absence of any discal dot im the forewings, and the 
paler cilia of the hindwings. 
Castle Hill (2,500 feet), and Invercargill, frequenting swampy diui 
taken commonly in December and January. 
Pros. zatrophana, Meyr. 
(Harmologa zatrophana, Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1882, 46.) 
Having obtained what I believe to be undoubtedly the male of this

Parva, alis ant. lete ochreis, albido-maculosis, fascia antica angusta 
obliqua, altera media latiore perobliqua cum tertia postica erecta sub medio

nigro-mixtis; post. saturate fuscis.

costa before middle, confluent in middle of dise with a similar straight fascia 
from 3 of costa to inner margin before anal angle, the latter fascia con- 
taining two irregular incomplete metallic-grey transverse lines: cilia bright 
ochreous, towards tips paler. Hindwings dark fuscous; cilia grey-whitish, 
with a dark grey basal line. 
Common in Arthur’s Pass from 2,600 to 3,000 feet, flying freely over
