first costal dot and with dorsum at | by some fuscous scales 

 forming an imperfect oblique line : two dots near second costal 

 dot and in an oblique line with it : a fine strongly dentate 

 transverse line from | costa to before tornus; a second less 

 distinct line shortly beyond this, followed by some fine streaks 

 on veins, and a terminal series of dots : cilia whitish. Hind- 

 wings and cilia ochreous-whitish. 



Two examples : one male in poor condition and the 

 female type. This interesting discovery is most nearly allied 

 to Goniosema anguliscripta, Luc, from Southern Queensland. 

 There is nothing akin to it known in Xew Zealand. 



Family XOCTUIDAE. 



Agrotis ypsUon, Rott. Three examples. Probably of 

 world-wide distribution. 



Cirphis loreyi, Dup. Two examples. Generally dis- 

 tributed throughout the Eastern Hemisphere. 



('//plus unipuncta, Haw. Seven examples. Probablv of 

 world-wide distribution. 



Prodenia litura, Fab. Three examples. Universally dis- 

 tributed throughout the tropical and subtropical zones of the 

 Eastern Hemisphere. 



Ariathisa, sp. One example. 



Prorenux tenuis, Butl. Eight examples. Common 

 throughout Australia ; not hitherto recorded elsewhere. 



HydriUodes lentalis, Gn. Three examples. Common in 

 the Eastern tropics. 



Hypena masurialis, Gn. Three examples. Common in 

 the Eastern tropics. 



Family GEOMETRIDAE. 



Ghloroclystis laticostata, Wlk. One male example, much 

 mangled but recognizable. A common Australian species : 

 net hitherto recorded elsewhere. 



Xanthorhoe sodaliata, Wlk. Three male and five female 

 examples. One female is unusually small — expansion, 17 mm. 

 Another female is a slight aberration : there is a paler band 

 between basal patch and median area of forewing, and median 

 area is denned by a posterior pale suffusion. I mention this 

 as the female appears not to vary in Australia. This is a 

 common snecies in Eastern Australia ; not hitherto recorded

elsewhere. 



Acidalia rubrarki, Dbld. Four examples. Common, and 

 generally distributed in Australia and New Zealand. 



Acidalia hypochra, Meyr. One female example. Com- 

 mon in Eastern Australia : not hitherto recorded elsewhere. 



Boarmia, n. sp. One female example.
