Notes
1 This organ is termed the tongue by Mr. Meyrick. As many mandibulate insects possess a true tongue, and the proboscis of the Lepidoptera is not homologous with the tongue, but with the maxillæ, I think the term is very misleading.
2 For the examination of the wings taken from dried specimens, I have found that immersion in methylated spirits renders the veins visible after partial denudation with the camel’s-hair brush. With recent specimens, however, the scales can easily be entirely removed.
3 I have found considerable difficulty and uncertainty in examining the neuration of undenuded specimens.

12 Leucania aulacias, Meyr., is distinguished by having grey cilia to the hind-wings. The species was described from a single specimen taken at Dunedin and now in Mr. Fereday’s collection. I have carefully examined this specimen, and find that the cilia, although considerably injured, are distinctly grey. As, however, I think it undesirable to characterize species so closely resembling each other from such meagre material, I here regard it as a synonym of Leucania arotis.
13 Report of American Department of Agriculture, 1881, p. 93.
14 Mr. Philpott informs me that the larva of M. paracausta closely resembles that of M. vitiosa.
15 This species has been recently named by Mr. Meyrick, but a description of it has not yet been published.
16 The accurate ascertainment of the positions of the veins near the costa in this species is a matter of considerable difficulty owing to the extremely dense tuft of hairs there situated.

40 In connection with these three species of Notoreas I should here mention that I have a number of specimens in my collection which appear to me to establish a complete transition between N. mechanitis, N. paradelpha, and N. perornata. From a careful study of these specimens I am led to believe that these three forms are really only varieties of one very variable species. Mr. Meyrick does not at present share this opinion, but I am disposed to think that this is chiefly due to the comparatively limited number of specimens he has had the opportunity of examining. In any case I do not regard the question of the specific or varietal values of these, or indeed of any other forms, as matters of great scientific importance, being, to a great extent, merely matters of individual opinion.
41 Trans. N. Z. Inst. xvi. 57.
42 Mr. Meyrick now includes these three species in the genus Gonophylla. (See Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1897, 387.)

44 Since writing the above, I have been informed by Mr. Kingsley that one male specimen of A. bolina was taken at Wakapuaka, in 1896, and two others reported as seen at Collingwood and Nelson in March, 1897. Mr. A. P. Buller has also kindly informed me of the capture of a male specimen in perfect condition, at Ohau, Manawatu district, in March, 1898.
