NEW ZEALAND MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 161 
shaped dark-margined white indentation meets the sub-apical 
streak. Hind-wings and cilia dark fuscous-grey. 
Male and female; length 34%4-3% lines. 
Distinct from all others in the Australian region through the 
absence of both the black discal streak and the apical hook, as 
well as by the contrast of the central ferruginous third with the 
rest of the fore-wings and the steel-blue markings. 
Five specimens taken on the dry grassy volcanic hills near 
Christchurch, in January. 
3. G. asteronota, Meyrick, l.c., vol. 5, p. 240.—Head, thorax 
and antennz dark fuscous. Palpi whitish, with obsolete darker 
rings (?). Abdomen dark fuscous, apex whitish. Legs dark 
fuscous, middle and posterior tibiz with whitish central and 
apical bands, all tarsi with broad whitish rings at apex of joints. 
Fore-wings somewhat dilated, hind-margin rather strongly 
sinuate beneath apex; dark fuscous; two conspicuous clear 
white semilunate spots on inner margin, reaching half across 
wing, first near base, second slightly beyond middle, both out- 
wardly oblique, their apices curved towards apex of wing; six 
slender oblique white streaks from costa; first at 14 ; second 
hardly before middle, not reaching half across wing; third 
uniting with a similar streak from anal angle to form an out- 
wardly curved transversed fascia; fourth short; fifth and sixth 
small, wedge-shaped, close before apex ; some irregular silvery- 
white scales above anal angle beyond the transverse fascia ; cilia 
grey (?), basal half separated by a black line and clothed with 
dark fuscous scales, except on a wedge-shaped black-margined 
indentation a little below apex, containing a whitish spot (?). 
Hind-wings and cilia dark fuscous-grey. 
Male and female ; length 3% lines. 
Two specimens, in rather impérfect condition, taken at 
Auckland, flying over damp grass on a shady bank, in

obscure white streaks, anteriorly margined with dark fuscous- 
grey; first costal in middle, second from before 34, both 
very oblique, not reaching half across wing; dorsal from just 
before anal angle very oblique, apex almost reaching extremity 
of second costal; third, fourth, and fifth costal streaks acutely 
wedge-shaped, short, almost wholly on costal cilia; a silvery 
white metallic spot on middle of hind-margin ; a clear round 
black apical spot, cilia whitish, towards anal angle dark fuscous- 
grey, with a strong sharp black apical hook, and with basal half 
separated by a black line and dark fuscous-grey, except on a
