Meyrick. — On New Zealand Micro-Lepicloptera. 23 



Thorax ochreous-brown, with a suffused white central longitudinal stripe. 

 Abdomen pale whitish -ochreous. Anterior and middle legs dark ochreous- 

 fuscous ; posterior legs ochreous-whitish. Forewings moderate, posteriorly 

 dilated, costa very slightly arched, somewhat sinuate before middle, apex 

 almost rectangular, hindmargin rather oblique, very faintly sinuate ; rather 

 light greyish-ochreous-brown, with a marked brassy-yellowish reflection ; 

 extreme costal edge very narrowly white throughout except at base, dilating 

 into a broader ill-defined white suffusion at about f ; a rather narrow sharply - 

 defined white central longitudinal streak from base to hindmargin, rather 

 attenuated towards base, very slightly curved near hindmargin, lower edge 

 very indistinctly split a little before hindmargin ; hindmarginal edge 

 generally very narrowly white between central streak and costa ; inner 

 margin very narrowly and indistinctly suffused with whitish throughout 

 more or less of its length : cilia whitish, base clear white. Hindwings pale 

 whitish-fuscous-grey, hindmargin ochreous-tinged ; cilia whitish. 



Most allied to C. vittellus and C. simplex, resembling them in form of 

 wing ; from the former it differs by the costal edge being white nearly 

 throughout, more brassy tint, larger size, and absence of distinct blackish 

 hind-marginal dots, as well as by the whitish cilia ; from the latter by the 

 much darker colouring, more sharply-defined white markings, and absence 

 of white suffusion on veins. 



Taken plentifully by Mr. E. W. Fereday on Mount Hutt in January. 

 6. Cr. haplotomus, n. sp.

 first very gently arched, more strongly on posterior half, faintly sinuate in 

 middle, apex nearly rectangular, hindmargin moderately oblique, rather 

 strongly rounded ; greyish-ochreous, somewhat deeper on disc, with a slight 

 brassy tinge ; extreme costal edge very slenderly white from near base to 

 apex ; a very slender white line close beneath costa from base, merged in 

 costal edge before middle ; three or four slender indistinct short white 

 streaks on veins towards posterior half of costa and apex ; a narrow tolerably 

 well-defined central longitudinal white streak from base to hindmargin, very 

 slightly sinuate in middle and very slightly curved posteriorly, attenuated 

 towards base ; seven minute black dots on hindmargin : cilia whitish-grey. 

 Hindwings pale grey, somewhat darker towards hindmargin; cilia whitish.
