Descriptions of New Zealand Lepidoptera. By Edward Meyrick, B.A., F.R.S. Communicated by G. V. Hudson, F.E.S., F.N.Z.Inst. [Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, 27th August, 1924; received by Editor, 28th August, 1924; issued separately, 31st March, 1926.] The following species have been communicated to me through the kindness of Mr. G. V. Hudson. Pyraustidae. Scoparia molifera n. sp. ♀ 20 mm. Head and thorax light-brownish, shoulders mixed dark fuscous. Palpi 3, brownish, base white. Forewings elongate rather dilated (rather narrower than submarginalis), termen nearly straight, somewhat oblique; brown, somewhat paler towards dorsum, costal third suffused dark fuscous, narrowed to apex; lines whitish, first at ⅓, obtusely angulated below middle, second at ⅘, indented towards costa and near dorsum, excurved between these, subterminal incurved on median third and confluent centrally with second; orbicular and discal spots confluent to form a broad dark-brown streak adjacent to dark-fuscous costal area, cut by first line and extending before it half-way to base, claviform elongate, dark brown, confluent with this on posterior edge of first line; dorsal third irrorated white between first and second lines; a slender dark-fuscous terminal shade including a waved white marginal line: cilia pale-greyish, an interrupted fuscous median line on upper part of termen. Hindwings 1 ⅓, whitish-grey-ochreous; cilia ochreous-whitish. Ashhurst, Manawatu River, in February; one specimen. A very distinct species, possibly allied (but not closely) to submarginalis. Tortricidae. Catamacta calligypsa n. sp. ♀ 16 mm. Head and thorax white, slightly speckled grey. Palpi 2, whitish, sprinkled dark grey. Forewings suboblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa strongly arched towards base, then faintly sinuate, apex obtuse, termen slightly sinuate, somewhat oblique; white; basal patch grey with some strigulae of blackish irroration, suffused white towards costa, edge running from ⅕ of costa to ⅖ of dorsum, slightly irregular, central fascia represented by a faint greyish spot on costa at ⅖, a grey spot on dorsum beyond middle, and a faint greyish cloud above this; on costa posteriorly an oblong blotch of grey suffusion with some dots of blackish irroration, enclosing a small white spot on costa; an irregular transverse blotch of grey suffusion extending from tornus before termen to above middle; two or three scattered blackish dots on costa; three blackish strigulae on apical part of termen: cilia white, extreme base grey, a strong rather dark grey median shade. Hindwings whitish, with small scattered light-grey spots or strigulae; cilia whitish. Wellington, in February; one specimen.
