* Micromus africanus, n. sp. 



Body luteous. Antennae luteous with dark articulations. Palpi brown. Front and 

 vertex with two oval brown spots. Pronotum with a broad brown streak along each 

 side. Meso- and metanotum luteous, with dark borders. Abdomen brown, with luteous tip. 

 Legs luteous with narrow darkbrown annulalions and the tibiae with a dark ring beyond 

 the middle. Posterior tibiae fusiform. 



Wings moderately long and broad, the tips acutely angulated. Nervature pale yellow 

 to whitish, with the following darkbrown or gray markings: In both wings a brown 

 oblique streak at the tip; it is the unique marking in the hindwing and in the forewing 

 it is darker and often consisting of two parallel streaks, the basal one of which is con- 

 nected with the oblique marking that follows the apical or outer row of gradate veins. 

 There are at the frontborder some dark points, which are more distinct in the region 

 of the pterostigma; these points seem to have some relation with an incomplete streak, 

 which follows the inner row of gradate veins; it is however often absent or very indistinctly 

 indicated. There is a black, very distinct point at the crossvein that connects both 

 cubili and it often increases to a large spot. At the hindborder there are many clouded, 

 triangular, greyish spots and that distalwards from the black point is often very distinct 

 and connected with it.
