towards dorsum; an almost terminal series of small roundish spots of blackish irroration: cilia whitish-grey, with grey subbasal shade. Hindwings ochreous-whitish, with an apical blotch of light-grey suffusion; cilia whitish, with grey subbasal line. Takapuna, Auckland, in January; one example. Conspicuous by the large development of black blotches; probably most allied to acharis. Tortricidae. Epichorista emphanes Meyr. On the 21st December, 1920, Mr. Hudson found this species abundant at Gollan's Valley, Wellington, in company with Harmologa achrosta Meyr., and observed that all examples of emphanes were ♀ and all achrosta ♂, and also took a pair in cop.; he therefore concluded that these forms are sexes of the same species, and this is undoubtedly correct, being borne out by examination of the series in his collection. The two forms are so different in appearance that I should not have suspected their identity, never having met with them alive myself. This discovery further called my attention to the fact that the genus Harmologa, originally based on a few species, has now through considerable accretions become heterogeneous and requires subdivision. I therefore reclassify this group of species as under:— Gelophaula n. g. Antennae in ♀ stout, simple, or very minutely pubescent. Palpi long, porrected, clothed with dense rough scales diminishing to apex, beneath with long rough hairs towards base, in ♀ less developed. Thorax without crest. Forewings 7 and 8 separate, 7 to termen. Hindwings without cubital pecten, 3–5 approximated at base, 6 and 7 closely approximated at base or short-stalked. Type, trisulca Meyr. Includes also aenea Butl., tritochlora Meyr., tributaria Philp., siraea Meyr., lychnophanes Meyr., palliata Philp., brevicula Meyr. Epichorista Meyr. Antennae in ♂ moderately or rather strongly ciliated. Palpi moderate or long, porrected, second joint dilated with dense scales above and beneath. Thorax without crest. Forewings 7 and 8 separate, 7 to termen. Hindwings without cubital pecten, 3–5 approximated at base, 6 and 7 closely approximated at base or short-stalked. Type, hemionana Meyr. Includes also elephantina Meyr., persecta Meyr., tenebrosa Philp. (not seen), siriana Meyr., aspistana Meyr., eribola Meyr., zatrophana Meyr., emphanes Meyr. (= achrosta Meyr.), allogama Meyr., crypsidora Meyr. Harmologa Meyr. Antennae in ♂ moderately or rather strongly ciliated. Palpi moderate or long, porrected, second joint dilated with dense scales above and beneath. Thorax with small posterior crest. Forewings 7 and 8 separate, 7 to termen. Hindwings without cubital pecten, 3–5 approximated at base, 6 and 7 closely approximated at base or short-stalked. Type, oblongana Walk. Includes also amplexana Zell., scoliastis Meyr., antitypa Meyr., sisyrana Meyr., pontifica Meyr., sanguinea Philp., festiva Philp.
