[Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, 26th September, 1923 ; received by 
Editor, 10th October, 1923 ; issued separately, 28th August, 1924.! 
Tue following species were received through the kindness of my friend 
Mr. G. V. Hudson, amongst other materia! generously sent for study. 
Tortrix orthocopa n. sp. ЛОВЕН 
59. 18-21 mm. Head, palpi, thorax whitish-ochreous. Forewings sub- 
oblong, costa in j with moderate fold from base to £, termen sinuate, 
hardly oblique; pale ochreous, sometimes tinged brownish ; markings 
` variably tinged lilac and edged with dark-brown streaks; edge of basal 
patch very oblique, on costal half obsolete ; edges of central fascia nearly 
straight, very oblique, anterior from } of costa to $ of dorsum, posterior 
from beyond middle of costa to termen above tornus, sometimes a lighter 
spot edged posteriorly with one or two dark strigulae occupying anterior 
part of central fascia on costa; costal spot very faint, edged anteriorly by - 
a very oblique brown striga, sometimes faintly continued sinuate to middle 
of termen: cilia pale ochreous, two brownish lines more or less marked. 
Hingwings, 3 whitish-grey, 9 ochreous-grey-whitish, a very few small cloudy 
greyish flecks ; cilia concolorous. 
Welli , in January; four specimens. Between tigris and toro- 
gramma, but distinct from both. 
Ochetarcha n. g. 
Palpi rather slender, curved, ascending, with appressed scales, terminal 
joint extremely short. Thorax with posterior crest.  Forewings, 2 from 
before $, 3 from angle, 7 to termen.  Hindwings without cubital pecten ; 
, miraculosa Meyr. Having received a second example of this, I 
find that veins 6 and 7 of hindwings have a well-developed common stalk ; 
this stalk is really present also in the first specimen, but so extremely short 
that I overlooked it. Hence the species cannot be referred to Olindia, 
and requires a new genus. 
Ochetarcha miraculosa Meyr. 
The second specimen has the upper part of the dark arched marking 
of forewing absent, so that the arch is represented by two fasciate streaks 
from dorsum rather converging, the anterior reaching $ across wing, the 
posterior $. I 
"OECOPHORIDAE. 
Borkhausenia idiogama n. sp.
