of hook ; an ill-defined strongly dentate blackish posterior transverse line, 

 tending to separate into longitudinal dashes, sharply angulated outwards 

 above middle, and sinuate inwards towards inner margin : cilia pale greyish, 

 suffusedly barred with white, tips white. Hindwings pale grey ; cilia 

 whitish-grey. 



Closely allied to C. harpophorus, which it resembles in form of wing, 

 having the forewings therefore much narrower than in C. strigosus ; readily 

 separated from C. harpophorus by the absence of the sinuate dark-bordered 

 white streak in middle of disc, and by the strong dentations and inward 

 sinuation of the posterior line. 



Castle Hill, from 2,300 to 2,500 feet, especially in the bed of the Porter 

 Eiver ; common in January. 



The following are additional localities for species of this family described 

 in my former paper : — 



Thinasotia leucophthalma, Meyr. Also taken in December. 



Cryptomima acerella, Walk. Bealey Eiver, at 2,100 feet. 



Scenoploca petraula, Meyr. Also in January. 



Diptychophora pyrsophanes, Meyr. Otira Gorge (to 3,000 feet), Castle 

 Hill (2,500 feet), Christchurch and Dunedin ; also in December. 



D. interrupta, Feld. Arthur's Pass (3,000 feet). 



D. auriscriptella, Walk. Otira Gorge (1,500 feet). 



D. helioctypa, Meyr. I took this in December on hill-sides near Lake 

 Wakatipu, at about 1,400 feet. 



D. elaina, Meyr. Taranaki and Palmerstou ; occurs from November to 

 March. 



Crambus athonellus, Meyr. Invercargill, nearly at the sea-level, in De- 

 cember. 



C. ramosellus, Dbld. Taranaki, Lake Wakatipu and Invercargill, not 

 above 2,000 feet. According to Butler's specimens in the British Museum, 

 C. leucanialis, Buth, is merely a synonym of this species, and not of C. 

 angustipennis, as formerly identified by me from the description and figure. 



C. angustipennis, Z. Bakaia and Castle Hill (2,500 feet). 



C. dicrenellus, Meyr. Castle Hill (2,500 to 3,000 feet), Arthur's Pass 

 (4,000 to 5,000 feet). 



C. haplotomus, Meyr. Castle Hill (2,500 feet), and in the bed of the 

 Waimakariri Biver (2,100 feet). 



C. callirrhous, Meyr. Castle Hill, in the bed of the Porter Biver (2,300 

 feet). 



C. simplex, Butl. Napier and Lake Wakatipu (not above 2,000 feet). 



C. vittellus, Dbld. Taranaki, Napier, Wellington, Lake Wakatipu and 

 Invercargill (not above 2,500 feet) ; also in December. In one part of the
