long, oblique, hindrnargin sbort, rounded, crenulate, with a more promi- 

 nent tooth near lower margin ; grey- whitish, bindmargin irrorated with 

 grey. 



Probably varies somewhat in the distinctness of the lines. The male is 

 always recognizable by the peculiarly-shaped hindwings ; but I believe that 

 the female will be found to have them of the ordinary form, and will be best 

 distinguished from allied species by tbe strong dentation of the lines. 



Palmerston (Wanganui), Makatoku (Hawke's Bay), and Christchurch, 

 amongst forest, at rest on tree-trunks, in March ; seven specimens. 

 74. Zyl. productata, Walk. 



(Larentia productata, Walk., 1197; (?) Selidosema pungata, Feld., cxxxi., 23; Selido- 

 sema (?) fragosata, Feld., cxxxi., 29.) 



Male. — 33-34 mm. Forewings moderate, bindmargin rounded ; whitish, 

 more or less irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous, sometimes forming 

 numerous fine short strigulas ; a narrow curved cloudy dark fuscous fascia 

 a little before median band ; the dark fuscous irroration forms a broad 

 median band, sometimes wholly suffused with dark fuscous, margined by 

 whitish lines, anterior edge concave, posterior edge shortly dentate and 

 more or less angulated above middle ; in one specimen this band is reduced 

 to a large costal spot ; a dentate white subterminal line, preceded by an 

 incomplete row of cloudy dark fuscous spots ; a suffused oblique dark 

 fuscous subapical spot ; a row of black dots on hindmargin. Hindwings 

 moderate, bindmargin rounded ; pale ochreous-yellow, darker posteriorly, 

 towards base irrorated with grey ; a grey discal spot. 



Varies very much in the distribution of the dark fuscous colouring ; the 

 female will probably have whitish hindwings. 



Wellington and Dunedm, in January ; eleven specimens. 



30. PSEUDOCOREMIA, Blltl. 



Face smooth. Palpi rather short, roughly scaled, porrected. Antennae 

 in male bipectinated (5-9). Forewings with 6 from below 9, 7 from below 

 angle of areole, 10 shortly touching 9, 11 separate, 12 free, la running 

 into 1. Hindwings normal ; la distinct. 



Closely allied to the preceding genus. 



75. Pseud, lupinata, Feld. 



(Cidaria lupinata, Feld., cxxxi., 19; Pseudocoremia lupinata, Butl., Cist. Ent., ii., 496; 



Pseudocoremia suavis, Butl., Cist. Ent., ii., 497 ; Pachycnemia usitata, Butl., Cist. 



Ent., ii., 501.) 



Male, female. — 29-35 mm. Forewings moderate, hindmargin rounded ; 

 grey-whitish, often partially suffused with pale fuscous, irrorated with dark 

 fuscous ; two parallel curved dark fuscous lines towards base ; a sinuate 

 dark fuscous line somewhat before middle, sometimes broadly dilated with
