4, 5 approximated at base from lower angle, 6 and 7 connate from 

 upper angle, 7 approximated to or anastomosing with 12 for a short 

 •distance. 



Allied to Crambus, differing in the comparatively short, broadly 

 dilated, rough-scaled palpi, and hairy underside of thorax. Related also 

 to the New Zealand Orocrambus, Meyr., but has not the hairy palpi 

 and coxae of that genus. 



NOTOCRAMBUS HOLOMELAS, n. Sp. 



(^ $ 20 mm. Head, antennae, thorax, abdomen, and legs blackish, 

 Palpi, 21; blackish mixed with a few white scales. Forewings mode- 

 rately broad, posteriorly dilated, costa straight, apex obtusely pointed, 

 termen bowed, moderately oblique; blackish, sometimes with a few 

 whitish scales in disc towards tornus; cilia fuscous. Hindwings with 

 termen rounded; dark-fuscous, cilia fuscous. 



T., Cradle Mountain (3000 to 3500 ft.), in January; three speci- 

 mens received from Dr. R. J. Tillyard. Type in Coll. Lyell; two 

 examples in poor condition in my own collection. 



Ubida holomochla. 



Ubida holomochla, Turn., P.R.S.Q., 1904, p. 165. 



I have received an example from Pt. Darwin (F. P. Dodd), very 

 like type, and four from Claudie River (J. A. Kershaw), which show 

 considerable variation. Three of the latter differ from type by having 

 a dark streak along dorsum of forewing, and some fuscous suffusion 

 on apex of hindwing, while in the fourth the dark markings are re- 

 duced to a minimum, being represented only by a slender median 

 streak, and a fine post-median subcostal streak with two short streaks 

 before termen between it and apex. 



Ubida hetaerica. 



Ubida hetaerica, Turn., Ann. Q. Mus., 1911, p. 112. 



A S' example from Claudie River (J. A. Kershaw) is probably 

 referable to this species. The costal edge of forewings, median 

 streak, and a short streak running into termen above it, are white; 

 there is also a white posterior spot on thorax. 



Ubida amochla, n. sp. 

 S" 26 mm. $ 40 mm. Head and thorax whitish. Palpi in <? 2i, 

 in $ 4; whitish. Antennae whitish; pectinations in <? 1. Abdomen 

 whitish; bases of segments on dorsum grey. Legs whitish; anterior 

 pair grey. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa gently arched, apex 

 rounded-rectangular, termen rounded, slightly oblique; whitish; in S" 

 a very faint pale-grey subcostal streak from base to termen, and a 

 short longitudinal streak in disc beneath cell; in $ a terminal series 

 of blackish dots; cilia whitish. Hindwings with termen very slightly 

 sinuate; whitish; in S' some grey suffusion towards apex; cilia 

 whitish.
