in apical region ; no appreciable markings. Foreiuing beneath some- 

 what more smoky than above, cell-dot and postmedian line present but 

 not very sharp, the latter placed as above from hindmargin to E 3 , then 

 running parallel with tertneii to costa 3'5 mm. from apex (further 

 from apex than in antennaria}. Hindwing beneath more strongly 

 irro rated than above (except at abdominal margin), with a cell-dot 

 and a curved postmedian line, approximately parallel with termen, 

 nearer to cell-spot than to termen, evanescent at abdominal margin. 



Transvaal, Pilgrim's Eest (Miss L. Schunke). 



On account of the shape, the straight lines, etc., I do not think this 

 can be a form of the variable antennaria Guen. ; an extremely worn 

 cf with the same data had, however, apparently the fulvous tone of the 

 latter, so that colour cannot be added to the points of differentiation. 



GEN. SICYODES Warr. 



24. SICYODES PULVEREA, sp. nov. 



?. 30mm. Head and body coucolorous with wings ; palpus, crown 

 and front of thorax more heavily irrorated. Antenna merely serrate, 

 not pectinate. 



Forewing with apex blunter than in typical Sicyodes, termeu less 

 oblique, not noticeably subcrenulate nor gibbous ; stalk of SO 1 " 2 con- 

 nected with C, SO 2 anastomosing with SO 3 ' 4 ; vinaceous buff, with base 

 of costa darkened and with scattered blackish dusting ; no appreciable 

 markings except an exceedingly faint discal dot and a postmedian line 

 from about two-thirds costa faintly indicated in some lights, slightly 

 angled outward near costa, then about parallel with termen ; distally 

 hereto a very narrow pale interval (merely indicated by the absence of 

 irroration), beyond which the terminal area appears, in some lights, a 

 little darker than the rest of the wing ; termen with dark interneural 

 dots not very sharp, becoming still feebler posteriorly ; fringe con- 

 colorous. Hindiving similar, with the postmedian markings apparently 

 rather further from termen, but scarcely discernible. Underside 

 similarly coloured, virtually without markings. 



Cape, Kalk Bay, February, 1904 (R. M. Lightfoot). 



A rather anomalous and very inconspicuous species, the shape .and 

 aspect more suggesting a Petelia than a Sicyodes, the venation not 

 quite typical. 



25. SICYODES SUBOCHBEA, sp. nov. 



$ . 28 mm. Structure in most respects as in the preceding, antennal 

 serration rudimentary, C of forewing free, SC'-R 1 of hindwing stalked.
