their number and sizes vary very gi'eatly ; besides these there ia generally a black 
subterminal line well marked, and sometimes interrupted, which does not reach the 
apex or the inner margin ; another similar line, but less constant, precedes it, com- 
mencing on the inner margin, but scarcely extending to a third of the breadth of 
the wing ; the fringe is intersected with black, and preceded by black dots, which 
alternate with these marginal marks, and which, in well-marked specimens, are 
outlined with whitish : the inferior wings have the same intersections and the same 
dots ; they are blackish, but beneath the costa and nervures are covered with 
castaneous hairs. The body is castaneous, as well as the antennaj, which, as in 
Pielus in general, are formed of thick triangular joints, and are pitbescent at the tips.

This New Zealand species is the true L. annulatiim of M. Bois- 
duval, and Mr. Walker has erred in transferring that name to the species 
from New Holland, which difiers in the patagia being bordered with 
white as well as the inner margin of the anterior wings ; in the yellow 
fringe, the spots much less extended, the broader yellow abdominal 
bands, the yellow face, &c. 
Thus it is the Australian insect which is unnamed, and I have long 
designated it in my collection as L. plagiatum. 
I do not know the larva of annulatum, but the chrysalis which 
Mr. Fereday sent with the moth has (with the cocoon) great analogy 
with those of our species of Setina.

Mr. "Walker says that the collar has a line of small black dots. 
I find here a continuous black line, edged superiorily by a white dash. 
He says nothing of the under-side, which ia, however, very characteristic, 
the anterior wings being blackish -grey, and the inferior pale ochreous- 
white, with a black cellular dot j all with a well-marked series of black 
terminal dots.
