About this book
New Zealand Moths and Butterflies (Macro-Lepidoptera) is a work by G. V. Hudson. The text explains protective resemblance as those classes of form or colour which enable an animal to so closely resemble its surroundings as to escape the notice of its enemies. Epirranthis alectoraria, Selidosema dejectaria, and Drepanodes muriferata are said to resemble dead leaves.
Chloroclystis bilineolata, Tatosoma agrionata, and Erana graminosa are said to resemble, when at rest, patches of moss. The entry for Notoreas mechanitis says the insect has occurred in the South Island at Mount Arthur, Arthur's Pass and Mount Hutt. The description of Notoreas mechanitis adds that all the wings are dark brownish-black, with an almost straight transverse yellow or white stripe near the base of the fore-wings.
