578 Mr. E. Meyrick's Descriptions of 



SUPPLEMENT. 



Epiblemim;. 

 Epiblema aphrias, n. sp. 



£ . 9 m.m. Head white, sides of crown mixed with dark grey. 

 Palpi white, mixed with dark grey except towards base. Antennae 

 grey. Thorax white sprinkled with grey. Abdomen dark grey, 

 anal tuft whitish. Forewings moderate, costa gently arched, termen 

 nearly straight, rather strongly oblique ; whitish, with a few scattered 

 grey strigulse ; basal area more mixed with grey, limited by a rather 

 broad ochreous-grey fascia reaching from dorsum f across wing, its 

 lower half blackish ; central fascia moderate, ochreous-grey, with 

 several small spots of black scales, bifurcate on costa, dilated on 

 tornus ; a small ochreous-grey spot on costa towards apex, and a patch 

 on upper half of termen, sometimes confluent : cilia grey, tips 

 whitish. Hind wings dark grey, lighter towards base ; cilia grey ; 

 3 and 4 coincident. 



I took two specimens at Invercargill in December. 

 This species is allied to fugitivana, Meyr. ; I think the 

 genus Protithona must be merged in E'piblema.
