NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXII. 1915. 335 



C. G. Barrett with Acidalia minorata Bdv. A smaller (16 mm.) ?, rather more 

 strongly marked, from Deelfoutein, March 14, 1902 (Col. Sloggett), in coll. Brit. 

 Mus., may also be referred here. 



Epicleta gen. nov. 



Face flat. Eye rather small. Palpns short, with rather long projecting scales 

 from base beneath. Tongue rudimentary, concealed in cavity between palpi. 

 Antenna in S ciliated in fascicles. Pectus somewhat hairy. Femora glabrous. 

 Hindleg of S aborted, without spurs. Wings shaped and scaled as in Cleta Dnp. 

 Forewing with SC free, not approaching the stalk of the other subcostals ; 

 SC''"' coincident ; SC^"' coincident, stalked with 80--' ; M^ separate. Hiudwing 

 with C anastomosing at a point near base ; SG^ — R> long-stalked ; M' separate. 



Type of the genus : Epicleta calidaria sp. nov. 



Almost unique in the subfamily in the reduction of the number of the subcostal 

 veins, a peculiarity shared only by the North American Goniacidalia Pack. ; other- 

 wise combining the structure of certain Ptijckopoda with the facies of Cleta. 



51. Epicleta calidaria sp. nov. 



S, 10-11 mm. Head and body, with palpus, antenna and legs, brownish 

 ochreons. Antennal joints somewhat triangularly projecting, with rather long, 

 slender fascicles of cilia. Hindleg quite short, tibia slightly thickened, tarsus very 

 short, slender, pointed. 



Forewing with costa slightly arched at base and near apex, straight between, 

 apex acute, termen sinuous ; bright ochreous ; costal area, especially at base, with 

 more or less reddish-brown dusting ; lines reddish-brown, slightly darkened and 

 thickened at costa ; antemedian, from about oue-fourth costa, somewhat sinuous, 

 less sharply expressed than the others ; median line nearly straight, from raidcosta 

 (or just proximally thereto) to middle of hindmargin ; postmedian at about three- 

 fourths, rather less oblique than the termen, very slightly sinuous, accompanied 

 distally by an irregular ill-defined band of red-brown shading ; terminal line red- 

 brown ; fringe proximally ochreous mixed with red-brown, distally with the red- 

 brown prevailing. Hindwing with termen sinuous, roundly prominent about R'; 



concolorous with forewing, the median and postmedian lines continued, more sinuous 

 than on forewing ; distal area and fringe as on forewing. 



Under-surface similar, but not quite so bright. 



Transkei (Miss F. Barrett). Type in coll. L. B. Prout. Topotypes (2) in coll. 

 Brit. Mus. 



Strikingly like a miniature Cleta ramosaria transiens Prout (Seitz, Macrolep. 

 iv. 88). 



52. Traminda drepanodes sp. nov. 



c?, 33 mm. Head pale reddish. Palpus ochreons. Thorax pale ochreous; 

 abdomen paler. Foreleg ochreons, tinged with red. 



Forewing rather broad, with costa arched, apex minutely falcate, tornus pro- 

 nounced; pale stramineous ochreous, with costal edge narrowly reddish ; cell-spot 

 large, irregularly shaped (more diamond-shaped than round or oval), violaceous or 

 slightly rosy, mixed (except in centre) with blackish scales ; a brown line (proxi-- 

 mally greyer, distally warmer) from middle of hindmargin almost to apex, then
