moderately broad snow-white median longitudinal streak from base 

 to termen ; dorsum narrowly snow-white throughout : cilia snow- 

 white, basal half suffused with whitish-ochreous. Hind wings white, 

 partially faintly tinged with ochreous ; cilia white. 



One specimen, Mount Cook, at 2500 feet, in December 

 (Hudson). Belongs to the group of tethonellus, but 

 conspicuously distinct by the white hind wings. 



Cramhus heteranthes, n. sp. 



$ . 16 m.m. Head, palpi, and thorax dark fuscous mixed with 

 golden-ochreous, palpi white beneath except at apex. Antennae 

 wholly pubescent, ciliations J. Abdomen dark bronzy-fuscous. 

 Forewings elongate, costa slightly arched, apex hardly obtuse, termen 

 straight or faintly sinuate, rather oblique, rounded beneath ; golden- 

 bronzy-ochreous mixed with dark fuscous ; a straight moderate 

 snow-white median longitudinal streak from base to termen : cilia 

 whitish -fuscous, with dark grey subbasal line, interrupted with white 

 on median streak. Hind wings dark fuscous; cilia whitish-fuscous, 

 basal half dark grey. 



Two specimens, Mount Cook, at 2500 feet, in December 

 (Hudson). Also allied to G. tethonellus, but distinguished 

 by the dark fuscous intermixture of the forewings, which 

 in asthonellus are uniform golden-bronzy-ochreous.
