NEW ZEALAND 

 MOTHS & BUTTERFLIES 



(Macro = Lepidoptera). 



Royal 4to, with Two Plain and Eleven Coloured Plates, containing upwards 

 of 500 Figures. Cloth, bevelled boards, gilt tops. Price 25s. net. 



By G. V. HUDSON, F.E.S. 



Author of ' An Elementary Manual of New Zealand Entomology.' 



A descriptive account of the various species is given, the arrangement followed 

 being that of Mr. E. Meyrick, in his recent 'Handbook of British Lepidoptera.' 

 A full account of the transformation of each species is also given wherever known, 

 many life-histories recently discovered by the author being now published for the 

 first time. 



The striking variations in colouring of some of the New Zealand Moths are 

 very fully described and illustrated — in some instances as many as nine figures 

 being given of one species. The figures have all been drawn from nature by the 

 Author. Two hundred and thirty-four species are described in this work. With 

 very few exceptions these are represented on the Plates, and by far the greater 

 proportion are figured for the first time. 



In addition to a very large number of original observations, this work contains, 

 it is believed, a summary of the most important facts yet published in connection 

 with the study of the larger species of New Zealand Moths and Butterflies. This 

 work is the result of many years' investigation in the forests and mountains of this 

 beautiful and interesting country.
