 ochreous, with an oblong dark fuscous spot on each shoulder not touching 

 lateral margin. Abdomen ochreous- whitish. Anterior legs dark fuscous ; 

 middle legs ochreous-whitish irrorated with dark fuscous except at apex of 

 joints ; posterior legs ochreous-whitish. Forewings moderate, costa mode- 

 rately arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin rounded, rather strongly oblique ; 

 pale whitish-ochreous, slightly suffused with pale yellowish ; basal third of 

 costa broadly dark fuscous ; a dark fuscous dot in disc before middle, a

 third sometimes obsolete ; sometimes a bar of scattered dark fuscous scales 

 between second dot and anal angle ; some scattered dark fuscous scales at 

 apex and towards hindmargin : cilia ochreous-whitish, sometimes with 

 scattered grey points, and with a cloudy dark fuscous spot at apex, and a

Male. — 13^-14^ mm. Head whitish-ochreous, finely and closely 

 irrorated with dark fuscous. Palpi pale whitish-ochreous, externally 

 irrorated with dark fuscous except at apex of joints. Antennae whitish- 

 ochreous, obscurely annulated with dark fuscous. Thorax dark fuscous, 

 with a small whitish-ochreous lateral spot. Abdomen grey. Anterior and 

 middle legs dark fuscous, with ochreous-whitish rings at apex of joints > 

 posterior legs ochreous-whitish. Forewings moderate, costa moderately 

 arched, apex blunt-pointed, hindmargin very obliquely rounded ; very pale 

 whitish-ochreous, with fine scattered light fuscous scales ; basal third of 

 costa broadly dark fuscous ; a short inwardly oblique dark fuscous mark on 

 fold at ^-, sometimes obsolete ; a cloudy oblique dark fuscous bar from disc 

 beyond middle to anal angle : cilia very pale whitish-ochreous, with lines 

 of grey points, forming a broader dark grey shade before tips. Hindwings 

 grey, darker posteriorly ; cilia light grey. 



Separable from all its immediate allies by the dark fuscous suffusion of 

 the head, as well as of the entire thorax except a small lateral spot ; the 

 forewings have a peculiar dull appearance, due to the fine fuscous irroration, 

 which is only perceptible under a lens. 



Lake Wakatipu, in December ; four specimens.
