XV.—THE 
This species is very variable both in colour and mark- 
ings but may be distinguished from the other allied species 
by its broader wings and by the other structural differences 
specially mentioned above. 
According to Mr. Meyrick the larva is active, cylin- 
drical; dull green, more yellowish-tinged on the sides and 
towards the extremities, the spots are paler; the head black; 
the second segment, or posterior half only, black. It feeds 
in September in spun-together shoots or in a loose tubular 
web, amongst the leaves of Leptospermum scoparium; in 
Australia on other Myrtaceae.* 
The perfect insect appears from December to March 
and frequents manuka scrub. I+ seems to be rather local. 
SPILONOTA MACROPETANA. 
(Spilonota macropetana, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, vi., 
683, 1881.) 
(Plate XLIX., fig. 8 4.) 
This very distinctly-marked species has occurred 
amongst Hucalyptus at Auckland, at Havelock North and 
Nelson. 
The expansion of the wings is about % inch. The fore-wings 
are chocolcte-brown finely streaked with blackish-grey, especially 
along the veins and costa; there is a broad wavy longitudinal 
whitish band along the dorswm, edged with blackish along its 
basal third; a whitish discal spot and several minute black 
streaks near the tornus; the cilia are blackish-grey. The hind- 
wings are dark greyish-ochreous. 
Of this insect Mr. Meyrick says: ‘‘The species is a 
native of Australia, where it is common and widely distri- 
buted, and has doubtless been artificially introduced with 
‘Hucalyptus, which is its foodplant.t 
Described and figured from a specimen submitted by 
the Department of Agriculture. 
Genus 3—EUCOSMA, Hibn. 

Antennae in male ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, sec- 
ond joint with dense rough projecting scales above and beneath, 
terminal short. Thorax without crest. Fore-wings with vein 7 
separate, to termen. Hind-wings with veins 3 and 4 usually 
stalked, sometimes connate or coincident, 5 approximated to 4 at 
base, 6 and 7 approximated towards base. (Plate F., figs. 13, 14 
neuration of Eucosma querula; fig. 18 head of ditto.) 
A very extensive genus, but principally characteristic 
of the Northern Hemisphere. 
We have four species in New Zealand. 
EUCOSMA MOCHLOPHORANA. 
(Ezxoria mochlophorana, Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., xv., 65.) 
This species was discovered by Dr. W. H. Gaze at 
South Rakaia. 
The expansion of the wings of the male is slightly under 
4 inch. The fore-wings are very narrow, with the termen 
extremely oblique; pale greyish-ochreous, obscurely strigulated 
with grey, and with scattered dark fuscous scales; base mixed

with dark fuscous; two small dark fuscous spots on costa near 
base; a moderately broad, slightly curved dark fuscous fascia 
from 4 of costa to two-fifths of dorsum; a small dark fuscous 
spot on middle of costa; a dark fuscous fascia from % of costa 
to tornus, upper half narrow, lower half very broadly dilated; 
a narrow somewhat irregular dark fuscous fascia from five-sixths 
of costa to middle of termen; a small dark fuscous apical spot; 
cilia ochreous-whitish mixed with grey. Hind-wings rather dark 
grey; cilia grey, tips paler. 
A very distinct species, in form and marking some- 
what resembling Eurythecta robusta. 
The perfect insect was taken in March frequenting 
rough herbage.

The above is 
EUCOSMA APHRIAS. 
(Epiblema aphrias, Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1901, 578.) 
Two specimens of this species were taken by Mr. Mey- 
rick at Invercargill. 
The expansion of the wings is about 4 inch. The fore-wings 
are whitish, with a few scattered grey strigulae; basal area more 
mixed with grey, limited by a rather broad ochreous-grey fascia 
reaching from dorsum # 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. 
The perfect insect appears in December.

EUCOSMA FUGITIVANA. 
(Protithona fugitivana, Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., xv., 62.) 
A single specimen of this species was taken at Lake 
Coleridge. 
The expansion of the wings of the male is about 4 inch. 
The fore-wings are narrow with the termen obliquely rounded; 
light greyish-ochreous; a suffused elongate blackish patch in disc 
above middle; an inwardly oblique suffused blackish mark on 
dorsum before middle, before which the ground colour is some- 
what mixed with blackish; an outwardly oblique broad blackish 
spot from dorsum before tornus extending suffusedly to apex; 
the space between these three blackish marks is ochreous- 
whitish; three small suffused dark fuscous spots on costa to- 
yards apex; cilia. ochreous-whitish, fuscous towards base. Hind- 
wing fuscous-grey. 
One of the smallest and most insignificant-looking of the 
Tortricidae. 
The perfect insect appears in March.

EUCOSMA QUERULA. 
(Eucosma querula, Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., xliv., 125.) 
(Plate XXV., fig. 36 4; 37 9.) 
This interesting species has occurred at Kaeo, north 
of Auckland, Auckland, Wellington, and at Christchurch.
