NEW ZEALAND LARENTIDA., 47 
first band near the base, less than half the breadth of the second 
which is in the middle, and is dilated and angular on the outer 
side, and contains a small transverse black discal mark; mar- 
ginal space speckled with black, containing the cinereous zigzag 
submarginal line; marginal points black, minute; costa and 
exterior border straight, the latter rather oblique. Hind-wings 
cinereous without lines. Body 3 lines ; wings Io lines. 
Coremia rosearia, Doubl.—Exp. alar. 1 unc. Anterior wings 
pale brown, tinged with rosy purple, fuscescent at the base ; this 
portion bounded by a waved fuscous striga. Before the middle 
is a waved transverse fuscous band, and a similar but broader 
one beyond the middle ; both less defined near the margins of 
the wing, appearing composed of three coalescing strige. Be- 
yond these are a few scattered blackish dots, chiefly on the ner- 
vures and outer margin, and in some individuals there is a slight 
fuscous cloud near the apex. Disc with a small black crescent. 
Posterior wings pale, with an indistinct transverse striga across 
the disc. 
Coremia pastinaria is set down by Mr. Butler as a synonym, 
but the above description does not at all apply to the insect I 
identify as C. pastinaria. Coremia rosearia seems nearer to Cor. 
ypsilonaria and ardularia. 
Coremia plurimata, Walk.—Femaie cinereous fawn-colour. 
Palpi short, broad, rostriform.—Wéings with numerous slightly 
undulating and denticulated brownish lines ; submarginal line 
pale cinereous, indistinct, nearly straight ; marginal line black, 
composed of lunules. forewings acute ; middle band blackish 
cinereous, rather narrow, with black nearly parallel and slightly 
undulating borders, including a minute, black, discal streak ; 
costa slightly convex ; exterior border straight, rather oblique. 
Body 4 lines ; wings 12 lines, 
Coremia casta, Butl.—Allied to Cor. squalida, but in the 
primaries reminding one of Larentia (L. parallelaria) ; wings 
above white, slightly yellowish on the veins ; primaries with 
three narrow basal bands, a broad central belt, and two narrow 
external bands, all with more or less undulated margins, dark 
brown traversed by pale undulated lines; a slender brown line 
on each side of the central belt ; a black disco-cellular stigma ; 
a marginal series of linear black dots in pairs ; secondaries grey, 
crossed in the middle by four externally white bordered lines in 
pairs, the third line dentate-sinuate and dotted with black; a 
submarginal dentate-sinuate white line; body greyish-brown, 
banded with white; under surface white-brown, with slightly 
yellowish veins ; the markings of the upper surface dimly visible 
and uniform on all the wings, so that the whole basal area to the 
centre of the disk is grayish, and a band of the same colour 
crosses the wings half-way between the latter and the outer mar- 
gin ; discocellular and marginal dots black. Expanse of wings 
mineh 1 line. 
Coremia robustaria, Walk.—Male cinereous. Body brownish. 
Palpi short, broad, pilose, slightly rostriform. Antenne short
