Meyrick. — On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera. 31 



a transverse series of tolerably distinct elongate dark fuscous dots crossing 

 wing from f of costa to inner margin before anal angle, strongly angulated 

 outwards in middle ; veins posteriorly indistinctly marked with lines of 

 whitish scales ; a very fine dark grey hindmarginal line : cilia grey, indis- 

 tinctly barred with whitish, and with extreme base whitish. Hindwings 

 grey-whitish ; cilia whitish, with a faint grey line. 



Easily known from C. strigosus by the hook on the lower margin of the 

 central streak, and the much narrower forewings. 



Mr. E. W. Fereday took several specimens near Lake Wakatipu in 

 January. 



16. Cr. strigosus, Butl. 

 (Aphomia strigosa, Butl., Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1877, 398, PI. XLIIL, 10.) 



Male. — 27-30 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax light greyish-ochreous, 

 thorax sometimes mixed with blackish-fuscous ; anterior margin of eyes 

 very slenderly whitish ; labial palpi moderately long, mixed with dark 

 fuscous externally, beneath whitish at base. Antennae fuscous-grey. 

 Abdomen ochreous-whitish, apex more ochreous. Legs ochreous-grey- 

 whitish, anterior and middle pair suffused above with dark fuscous. Fore- 

 wings rather broad, considerably dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, 

 very faintly sinuate before middle, apex rounded, hindmargin oblique, 

 strongly rounded ; rather light brownish-grey, more brownish in disc, 

 irregularly irrorated with black and white scales ; veins posteriorly in- 

 distinctly lined with white scales ; a short slender suffused blackish streak 

 beneath costa at base ; a straight thick longitudinal black streak beneath 

 middle from base to middle of disc, much attenuated at base, lower edge 

 suffused towards extremity ; a short thick very oblique black streak in disc 

 above extremity of basal streak, uniting with it to form a pointed hook ; 

 basal streak generally margined above by an ill-defined ochreous-white 

 streak filling up the hook, sometimes suffusedly extending towards base 

 almost to costa, sometimes almost obsolete ; a very elongate-elliptical 

 slender blackish ring in disc above middle, often partially obsolete ; a 

 blackish suffusion between branches of submedian vein at base ; a strongly 

 and regularly dentate outwards-curved slender blackish transverse line from 

 ± of costa to |- of inner margin, sinuate beneath, posteriorly margined by a 

 whitish suffusion ; a row of distinct black dots on hindmargin : cilia whitish 

 mixed with light grey, faintly barred. Hindwings grey- whitish, slightly 

 suffused posteriorly with fuscous-grey ; a cloudy grey line towards hind- 

 margin below apex; hindmargin narrowly and suffusedly darker fuscous- 

 grey ; cilia grey- whitish. 



A very distinct species, with the forewings broader than usual ; allied to 

 the preceding.
