Art. XIV.—New Lepidoptera. By W. George Howes, F.E.S., F.L.S. [Read before the Otago Institute, 4th November, 1913.] Leucania hartii n. sp. ♀. 32 mm.; one specimen. Face brown, faintly irrorated with grey. Head grey-brown. Palpi and antennae ochreous brown. Thorax brown, crests absent. Abdomen grey-brown, tufts rufous. Forewings covered with dull silvery (lead-coloured) scales, the rather indistinct lines being bright rufous. Two distinct marks on costa close to base, being portion of a broken indistinct line across wing. At ⅓ there are two other distinct marks on costa, continuing as ill-defined lines across wing. Orbicular and claviform outlined in rufous. Orbicular elongate. A very distinct line crosses between reniform and orbicular, running straight across save for a slight outward bend at wing-centre. Reniform has an ochreous lunate mark in centre, margined by rufous on basal side, and also outwardly, but outwardly is not distinctly defined. Close to termen there are faint traces of a rufous line; a series of slight rufous dots along termen. Cilia light ochreous, with an ochreous line at base. Hindwings ochreous, slightly rufous towards termen. Cilia dull rufous, with an ochreous line at base. Leucania hartii. (Natural size.) A single specimen, taken by Mr. S. Hart at the Cape Egmont Lighthouse, 20th March, 1911. Unfortunately, although Mr. Hart has sent me quite a lot of valuable material from this locality, I have not been so fortunate as to secure another specimen of this species.

Ichneutica cana n. sp. ♂. 44 mm.; one specimen. Face grey. Palpi blackish at base. Head and thorax grey, frontal area lighter grey. Head and thorax densely clothed with long dark-grey hair. Thorax broad in proportion to length, with a slight posterior crest. Abdomen grey. Forewings grey, with pal-egrey lines and occasional darker marks. A single light-grey line at base; a jagged grey line about ⅕, strongly dentate near dorsum; outwardly suffused with dark grey. Orbicular faintly shown in light grey, and separated from reniform by a distinct dark-grey patch. -Reniform faintly outlined in light grey. A. jagged light-grey line at ¾, bending towards tennen until centre of wing, then inwards before reaching dorsum. Terminal edge margined with light grey, edged basally with a dark suffusion, which forms a faintly defined line; slight grey marks along veins where they reach termen. Cilia short, light grey and dark grey alternate patches. Hindwings light grey with a faint ochreous tinge, a darker band across wing at ½ and a slightly waved subterminal band. Terminal edge and cilia grey-white. Underside grey with a faint ochreous tinge and a well-defined irregular dark-grey line at about ⅔ across both wings. Ichneutica cana. (Natural size.) A single specimen of this fine moth netted in brilliant sunshine on the Hector Mountains, Wakatipu district, 20th November, 1911. Pseudocoremia maculosa n. sp. ♂. 35 mm. Face fuscous. Head white with fuscous patch behind base of antennae; shafts of antennas fuscous at base, then mixed with white and fuscous to tips; pectinations fuscous. Thorax fuscous anteriorly, then silvery-white with two slight fuscous marks, then a dark-fuscous cross-line followed by another silvery-white area. Abdomen grey-white with a narrow patch of fuscous from apex of each segment, which are posteriorly grey-white. Wings silvery-white, faintly lined and stippled with ferruginous-fuscous, and where lines cross veins at centre of wing sharply marked with black. Basal patch silvery-white sharply edged by a dark-fuscous patch which is outwardly suffused. Indistinct lines at ⅙ and ⅓; well-defined lines at ½ and ⅔, black-marked where they cross the veins. Then follows a white area suffused at centre of wing. Subterminal line waved, suffused outwardly almost to apex, the lower part of the subterminal area stippled with ferruginous - fuscous. A terminal series of black lunules. Cilia (damaged) apparently grey and fuscous-white mixed. Reniform represented by a black streak. Hindwings grey-white faintly stippled with ferruginous-fuscous. Discal spot small and faintly marked. Two faint subterminal lines, termen dark-edged, cilia fuscous-grey. Pseudocoremia maculoa. (Natural size.) A single male specimen netted at Queenstown, Wakatipu district, 20th November, 1910. Mr. M. Pasco has another specimen from the same locality. Close to Pseudocoremia leucelae and P. monacha, but abundantly distinct.
