men, inclining towards centre of wing as it nears dorsum. Edge of termen deeply scalloped. Cilia light-brown. Hind-wings ochreous, with strong darker terminal suffusion. Cilia ochreous.

Apparently close to M. rubescens, which it resembles in the markings, but it is easily distinguished. Has occurred in Dunedin in December, and on blossom here in October. Mr. Philpott has three specimens taken at Wallacetown.

In the 1905 volume of the Transactions I described a new Leucania as “Leucania obsoleta.” As this name proves to be preoccupied, I alter the name to “L. innotata.”

Leucania innotata, n. sp.

About 37 mm. Antennæ ochreous, filiform. Legs and palpi greyish-ochreous. Legs fuscous beneath. Face and thorax dark-ochre. Thorax moderately crested. Abdomen dull-grey; anal segment paler. Forewings uniform light-ochre. Veins plainly outlined in grey. Orbicular and reniform obsolete. Very slight dark shading from base to half-way along wing-centre. Termen very slightly sinuate near apex. Hindwings uniform fuscous, with cilia light-ochreous as in forewings.

This moth appears to be close to L. arotis, but differs in coloration, in the absence of dots on the forewings, and in its pale-ochre cilia.

The first specimen was taken in Dunedin in December, but since then, when collecting with Messrs. Lee and Oliver, we have taken several more in October at Anderson's Bay, Dunedin.
