Antennas fuscous-grey. Thorax greyish-fuscous. Abdomen whitish-ochre- 

 ous. Legs whitish-ochreous, anterior and middle pair suffused with greyish- 

 fuscous. Forewings moderate, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa moderately 

 arched, hardly sinuate, apex rounded-acute, hindmargin oblique, straight or 

 slightly sinuate ; rather light ochreous-grey-brown, costal half suffused with 

 dark fuscous ; more or less irregularly irrorated with white on costal half, 

 and towards base and hindmargin ; a narrow irregular suffused white 

 streak above middle from base to disc before middle, posteriorly obliquely 

 truncate, sometimes almost interrupted at | ; a rather broad irregular suf- 

 fused often nearly obsolete white transverse line from middle of costa to 

 before middle of inner margin, passing through extremity of streak from 

 base ; an elongate-oval longitudinal white spot in middle of disc, almost 

 connected with basal streak ; above and rather beyond this the obsolescence 

 of the white irroration causes a dark blotch on costa ; a broad suffused 

 white closely dentate transverse line from costa at f to inner margin at -f , 

 anteriorly finely edged with dark fuscous, somewhat bent inwards beneath 

 costa and angulated outwards above middle ; a suffused white somewhat 

 triangular blotch on hindmargin immediately beneath apex, margined 

 above by a dark spot, and suffusedly and indistinctly produced downwards 

 towards anal angle ; lower veins towards hindmargin indistinctly dark 

 fuscous ; four minute black dots on lower part of hindmargin ; a slender 

 dark fuscous hindmarginal line : cilia whitish-grey, somewhat mixed or 

 very indistinctly barred with white, with a slender white basal line on upper 

 half, produced into an apical bar. Hindwings whitish-grey-ochreous, hind 

 margin narrowly suffused with light fuscous-grey ; cilia whitish-ochreous, 

 with a faint grey line near base. 



Allied to C. flexuosellus, but differing widely in the white irroration and 

 transverse lines, and the absence of a complete white longitudinal streak. 



Common on the hills near Cbristchurch ; also taken at Wellington, 

 on the Kaikoura range, and in the Eakaia district ; in February and 

 March. 



Felder's and Butler's figures are about equally poor, but can hardly 

 refer to any other insect. 



14. Cr. cyclopicus, n. sp. 

 Male, female. — 20-25 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax whitish, coarsely 

 irrorated with fuscous-grey ; labial palpi long. Antennae dark fuscous.

 white scales and a white apical ring, posterior tibiae white with a few grey 

 scales, middle and posterior tarsi with white rings at apex of joints. Fore-

 arched, apex almost acute, hindmargin gently rounded, rather strongly
