Meyeick. — On the New Zealand Geometrina. 67 



99. Identified with 42. 



100. Larentia quadristrigata, Walk., 1200 ; Larentia interclusa, ib., 1202. 

 Distinct from any species described ; recalls Mierodes in appearance ; rather 

 small, oblong-winged ; white, with irregular curved dentate fuscous-grey 

 lines ; three forming a stronger curved band at ^, and three others a 

 straight band at § , first preceded and second followed by a dark shade. I 

 should like to obtain specimens of this for investigation ; I think it may be 

 a Mierodes, and identical with an Australian species. 



101. Unidentifiable, but possibly a synonym of 42, 



102. Identified with 42. 



103. Identified with 14. 



104. A common Australian species, doubtless recorded from New Zea- 

 land in error. 



105. Phibalapteryx mppressaria, Walk., 1721. Distinct from any species 

 described ; perhaps a Larentia ; moderate ; costa sinuate ; fuscous-grey, 

 with oblique, dentate, slightly curved darker lines, a narrow central band 

 obscurely whitish, margins darker. Said to be from Auckland. 



106. Identified with 14. 



107. Identified with 47. 



108. Identified with 14. 



109. Unidentifiable, but possibly a worn specimen of 75. 



110. Identified with 87. 



115. Larentia falcata, Butl., Cist. Ent., ii., 501. Apparently a distinct 

 species ; recalls Eurydice rufescens, Butl., but greyer and darker ; cf. descr. 



117. Identified with 33. 



118. This is a tolerably common Australian species, also described 

 more than once by Walker ; it is doubtless recorded from New Zealand in 

 error, and may be dropped. 



The following is an additional species which was overlooked previously. 

 Samana acutata, Butl. 

 (Samana acutata, Butl., P.Z.S.L., 1877, 401.) 

 I have not been able to critically examine this, of which I saw the type ; 

 I noted that it was very like S. falcatella, Walk,, but with first dark line 

 running from inner margin near base to below costa before middle, lower 

 extremity of second connected with anal angle by an oblique streak. 



' I also made the following notes on exotic species, which struck me as 

 nearly approaching New Zealand species, and as throwing light on ques- 

 tions of geographical distribution. 



Fidonia edmondsii, Butl., from Chili, is very closely allied to Cephalissa 

 stria, Meyr., and is doubtless also a Cephalissa (Geometrina, with orange 

 hindwings, are usually classed by Mr. Butler under Fidonia, irrespective of 

 structure).
