CRAMBIDiE. 
DIPTYCHOPHORA Zell. 
The small size of many of the species of this interesting genus 
has led to their being rather neglected by authors, and I find I 
have some accumulation of new forms which deserve description. 
The earliest forms made known were from Central and South 
America, and the largest and finest are from New Zealand, which 
possesses 17 species, more than a third of the whole total hitherto 
known; it now appears however that the genus is very widely 
distributed, though absent from Europe and North America.
