Meybiok. — On New Zealand Micro-Lepidoptera. 55 



Peculiarly characterized by the strong sinuate black discal streak. 



Three specimens taken near Dunedin. 



24. Dipt, incessana, Walk. 

 (Teras incessana, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat., 304, (Arotrophora) Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 



1881, 529.) 



Minor, alis ant. fuscis, fascia media directa, macula costse triangulari, 

 alteraque anguli analis angusta erecta saturatioribus ; post, griseis. 



Male, female. — 13-16 mm. Head and thorax dark fuscous ; palpi rather 

 long. Forewings moderately broad, subtriangular, costa moderately arched, 

 hindmargin sinuate, oblique ; dull reddish-fuscous, strigulated with darker, 

 with dark reddish-fuscous markings ; outer edge of basal patch indicated by 

 an indistinct rather irregular line ; central fascia moderately broad, not 

 oblique, from middle of costa to middle of inner margin, anterior edge 

 straight, well-defined, posterior edge suffused, connected with a cloudy spot 

 in disc beyond middle ; a triangular spot on costa at f ; a short erect streak 

 from anal angle, reaching nearly half across wing : cilia pale reddish-fuscous, 

 with a strong blackish basal line. Hindwings grey, indistinctly spotted with 

 darker ; cilia pale grey, with a darker basal line. 



Considerably broader-winged than the following species, and widely 

 distinct by the fuscous colouring and straight perpendicular central 

 fascia. 



I took one specimen at Auckland in January; Mr. E. W. Fereday has 

 two others, taken at Christchurch in November and December. 

 25. Dipt, imbriferana, Meyr. 

 (Dipterina imbriferana, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1881, 527.) 



Parva, alis ant. albidis, area basali, fascia media angulata, macula costse, 

 alteraque anguli analis griseis ; post, griseis. 



Male, female. — 9^-12 mm. Head and thorax whitish ; palpi moderate. 

 Forewings rather narrow, not dilated, costa moderately arched, hindmargin 

 obliquely rounded ; whitish, sometimes faintly clouded with grey, obscurely 

 strigulated with fuscous-grey ; basal patch more or less fuscous-grey, outer 

 edge irregularly angulated in middle ; central fascia suffusedly fuscous-grey, 

 obscurely margined with dark-fuscous, moderate, rather narrower towards 

 costa, running from middle of costa to middle of inner margin, angulated in 

 middle ; apical portion of wing more distinctly strigulated with fuscous- 

 grey, strigulas generally coalescing to form a spot on costa at f, a smaller 

 spot on anal angle, and sometimes one on middle of hindmargin : cilia 

 whitish, with a grey basal line. Hindwings grey, darker posteriorly ; cilia 

 grey, with a darker basal line. 



An inconspicuous species, yet not like any other. 



Taken at Auckland and Wellington in January.
