Meyrick. — On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera, 101 



suffusedly blackish-margined; second line very slender, obscure, whitish, 

 anteriorly finely blackish-margined, rather abruptly curved above middle ; 

 subterminal obsolete ; a slender interrupted white hindmarginal line : cilia 

 ochreous-whitish, witb two dark grey lines. Hindwings 1^, whitish-grey ; 

 lunule, postmedian line and a hindmarginal line darker grey, distinct ; cilia 

 whitish, with a dark grey interrupted line. 



Apparently allied to S. feredayi, but very distinct by the ochreous- 

 rascous ground colour, fine black margins of lines, and well-defined white 

 reniform. 



Lake Wakatipu, at 1,200 feet, in December ; two specimens. 

 * 47. Scop, acropola, n sp. 



Male. — 25-28 mm. Head, palpi, antenna, and thorax ochreous-fus- 

 cous ; palpi 4, white towards base beneath. Antennal ciliations 1. 

 Abdomen very pale whitish ochreous. Legs white irrorated with fuscous, 

 tibiae and tarsi suffused with dark fuscous. Forewings elongate, triangular, 

 moderately broad, costa gently arched, apex rounded, hindmargin straight, 

 oblique ; light ochreous-fuscous, finely irrorated with dark reddish-fuscous,

 oval, somewhat whitish, obscurely dark-margined, touching first line ; 

 claviform obsolete ; reniform 8-shaped, somewhat whitish or not pale, 

 obscurely dark-margined ; orbicular and reniform connected by a very 

 elongate, hardly pale, obscurely dark- margined spot; second line hardly 

 pale, anteriorly suffusedly dark-margined, almost rectilinear, sharply angu- 

 lated above middle ; subterminal obsolete ; a hindmarginal row of cloudy 

 dark fuscous dots : cilia ochreous-whitish, with two fuscous-grey lines. 

 Hindwings 1-J, ochreous-grey-whitish ;. postmedian line very faintly indi- 

 cated; cilia white, base ochreous-tinged. 



Allied to S. cleodoralis, but much larger, and differing in the longer 

 palpi, much longer ciliations of antennae, defined orbicular, sharp angula- 

 tion of second line, and other characters. 



Mount Wellington, Tasmania, amongst rocky scrub at 3,000 feet in De- 

 cember ; apparently very local, being confined to a small patch of ground 

 in which it was common, and readily disturbed from the herbage.
