Described from two males taken by Dr. R. J. Tillyard at a height of 
3,000 ft on the Dun Mountain, Nelson, in February. I have much pleasure 
in naming it after the discoverer. 
Since the above was written Mr. A. Philpott and M. André Tounoir 
have taken the species in considerable numbers by sweeping bracken-fern 
(Pteridium esculentum) near the same locality. Some of the specimens 
show a strong and beautiful green suffusion.
