Meybick. — On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera. 135 



streaks, two margining the central white streak, one within it obsolete : 

 cilia white. Hindwings pale fuscous-grey, towards hindmargin darker, 

 veins paler ; cilia white. 



Allied to G. catacaustus, which it agrees with in the hairy coxae, but 

 differing much in the strictly-triangular form of the fore wings, and also in 

 colour. 



Castle Hill ; one specimen received from Mr. J. D. Enys. 

 23. Cr. ephorus, n. sp. 



Male. — 32 mm. Head snow-white. Palpi very long, ochreous, above 

 and internally snow-white. Antennae grey-whitish, very shortly ciliated. 

 Thorax snow-white, patagia deep ochreous-yellow. Abdomen grey-whitish. 

 Legs light ochreous, posterior pair more whitish. Forewings very long, 

 narrow, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa slightly arched, apex round- 

 pointed, hindmargin rather strongly sinuate, oblique ; shining snow-white ; 

 extreme costal edge fuscous, becoming yellow- ochreous posteriorly ; a rather 

 broad straight bright deep ochreous-yellow stripe from base below middle to 

 hindmargin above anal angle ; inner margin narrowly ochreous-yellow from 

 •J to anal angle : cilia snow-white, opposite submedian stripe and on anal 

 angle whitish-ochreous. Hindwings pale whitish-ochreous-grey ; cilia 

 ochreous-whitish. 



This handsome species is nearly allied to C. angustipennis, but much 

 more clearly and brightly coloured ; the forewings are equally long and 

 narrow, but without the acute produced apex of that species, and the hind- 

 wings more greyish-tinged. 



Arthur's Pass ; one specimen taken at 4,800 feet, in January. 

 24. Cr. crenceus, n. sp. 



Male, female. — 32-36 mm. Head white, behind eyes ochreous-brown, 

 towards middle of face whitish-ochreous. Palpi very long, light brownish - 

 ochreous, above and internally white. Antennae whitish, in male shortly 

 ciliated. Thorax ochreous-white, patagia brownish-ochreous. Abdomen 

 whitish. Legs brownish-ochreous, posterior pair whitish above. Fore- 

 wings very elongate-triangular, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, 

 hindmargin rather oblique, straight or faintly sinuate, rounded beneath ; 

 rather light brownish-ochreous, slightly brassy-tinged, somewhat browner 

 in disc ; a rather narrow almost straight white median streak from base to 

 hindmargin slightly above middle ; inner margin slenderly white near base : 

 cilia white, sometimes partially slightly ochreous-tinged, beneath anal angle 

 greyish-tinged. Hindwings whitish, faintly greyish-tinged ; cilia white. 



This species and the four following belong to the group of C. vittellus, 

 and doubtless other allied species will be discovered. C. crenceus is readily 

 known by the entire absence of all white marking except the central streak
