margin above middle : cilia grey or greyish- ochreous, with a darker line. 

 Hindwings light grey, sometimes partially ochreous-tinged, spotted and often 

 suffused with darker grey ; cilia whitish-grey, with a darker basal line. 



Bather variable in colour and considerably in intensity of marking ; but 

 easily separated from all the other species of the genus by its dull grey hue. 



Occurs rather commonly at Christchurch, Dunedin and Blenheim, in 

 December, January and March, seeming attached to Leptospermum. But- 

 ler's cuneigera is founded on a light-coloured specimen with strongly-marked 

 costal blotch, received from Blenheim ; I have seen two similar specimens 

 from the same locality, but can find no reliable point of distinction and 

 have no doubt of their identity. 



12. Harm, zatrophana, n. sp. 



Minor, alis ant. runs, griseo-mixtis, macula magna posteriori albida 

 ochreo-mixta ; post, saturate griseis. 



Female. — 14 mm. Head, palpi and thorax reddish- ochreous-brown, 

 mixed with whitish-grey ; palpi moderate, grey-whitish internally and 

 beneath. Antennae grey, annulated with black. Abdomen dark grey. 

 Legs grey, anterior and middle tibia? and all tarsi suffused with dark 

 fuscous, except at apex of joints. Forewings rather narrow, oblong, costa 

 gently arched, apex nearly rectangular, hindmargin sinuate, not oblique ; 

 reddish-ochreous-brown, thickly mixed with dark fuscous-grey ; a tolerably 

 well-defined large whitish blotch on hindmargin, almost reaching costa and 

 anal angle, extending in disc to f from base, containing two small pale 

 ochreous spots mixed with grey scales, one on its upper and the other on 

 its lower margin, almost uniting in middle, so as to bisect the blotch : cilia 

 reddish-ochreous-brown mixed with grey. Hindwings dark grey, apex 

 blackish-grey ; cilia whitish-grey, with a dark grey basal line. 



Very distinct by its deep colouring and the posterior whitish blotch. 



One fine specimen taken at light at Christchurch in March. The male 

 being unknown, the generic location is not absolutely assured, but I have 

 little doubt the species is correctly placed.

Major, alis ant. fuscis, M. flavo, F. ochreo-suffusis, costa F. alba ; post.

Male, 27 mm. ; female, 30 mm. — Head, palpi and thorax in male brown - 

 ish-ochreous mixed with fuscous, in female ochreous -whitish suffused with 

 pale ochreous ; palpi rather long. Antennae in male fuscous, in female 

 whitish-ochreous. Abdomen in male yellowish-ochreous mixed with fus- 

 cous, in female ochreous-whitish. Legs ochreous-whitish, anterior and 

 middle pair more or less suffused with fuscous-grey, posterior tibiae in male
