marginal row of blackish dots round posterior part of costa and 

 termen : cilia ochreous-yellowish. Hindwings and cilia ochreous- 

 whitish. 



ZULULAND, Mfongosi (W. E. Jones), one specimen ; also one in 

 my collection from NATAL, Pinetown, in February (Leigh). 



FAMILY HYPONOMEUTIDAE. 



GEN. HYPONOMEUTA, Latr. 

 HYPOXOMEUTA AFRICAXA, Staint. 



2 . 21 mm. Head white, with a blackish dot on each side of 

 forehead. Palpi white, terminal joint with blackish basal ring. 

 Thorax white, with blackish dot on each shoulder, and two on back 

 posteriorly (probably also two anteriorly, defaced). Abdomen light 

 greyish. Forewings white, with nearly 50 rather large black dots, 

 viz., seven immediately beneath costa on anterior half, ten beneath 

 these from J- to apex, ten irregularly placed beneath these, five in a 

 median series on posterior half, a submedian series of ten and sub- 

 dorsal of seven ; a suffused grey spot on fold beneath middle, 

 touching another in disc beyond middle; a third on tornus : cilia 

 white, at base with some faint grey dots or small spots. Hindwings 

 light grey ; a hyaline elongate patch beneath cell at base ; cilia 

 pale grey. 



I have redescribed above what is presumably Stainton's original 

 type, which has been sent me for examination, bearing his label ; it 

 is a very distinct species, but the original description is brief.
