towards dorsum; an almost terminal series of small roundish spots of 
blackish irroration: cilia whitish-grey, with grey subbasal shade. Hind- 
wings ochreous-whitish, with an apical blotch of light-grey suffusion ; cilia 
whitish, with grey subbasal line. 
Takapuna, Auckland, in January; one example. Conspicuous by the 
large development of black blotches ; probably most allied to acharis.

also took a pair in cop.; he therefore concluded that these forms are sexes 
of the same species, and this is undoubtedly correct, being borne out by 
examination of the series in his collection. The two forms are so different 
in appearance that I should not have suspected their identity, never having 
met with them alive myself. This discovery further called my attention 
to the fact that the genus Harmologa, originally based on a few species, 
has now through considerable accretions become heterogeneous and requires 
subdivision. 1 therefore reclassify this group of species as under :—
