Hindwings with veins 6 and 7 separate, 8 free, not approximated to 7. 71. Lyrc. alectoraria, Walk. (Lyrcea alectoraria, Walk., 259; Aspilates (?) primata, Walk., 1076, Butl.

Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, amongst bush, from September to January, and in April and May; thirty-eight specimens. 5. Ennomidæ. Forewings with areole double, single, or absent, 12 free or anastomosing with 11. Hindwings with 7 veins (normal vein 5 absent), 5 and 6 separate, 7 free, approximated to 6 towards base. An extensive family of universal distribution, but not reaching any degree of development in New Zealand. Most of the species occurring are highly variable. As the genera are all small, I give a tabulation of all the species together, besides that of the genera. 1a. Antennæ of male bipectinated. 2a. Vein 12 of forewings anastomosing with 11. 3a.
