Neuration : forewings, cell not qnite half the leagth of wing ; discocellular 

 vertical, the lower half slightly obliqne; first median nervnle at three-fourths, second 

 close before third ; radials normal ; 7, 8, 9, stalked from end of cell ; 10 from close 

 before end, anastomosing at a point with 11, which is given off from 12. Hindwiugs 

 with costal ajjproximated to subcostal for nearly half of cell ; first subcostal close 

 before end of cell ; medians as in forewing; no radial. 



Allied to Orthocabera Bntl. 



Type : Pigiopsis convergens, sp. nov. 



3Ci. Pigiopsis convergens sp. nov. 



Foreicings : whitish ; the costa irregularly spotted and suffused with fuscous, 

 more broadly towards ajjex, before which there are three or four fuscous blotches ; 

 six oblique ochreous lines from inner margin converging towards an orange subapical 

 patch on hiudmargin ; the first three antemedian and fine ; the last three post- 

 median, thicker and less concise; a brown marginal line and three subapical marginal 

 brown dots ; fringe brown with a pale base. 



Hindwiugs : with a single ochreous antemedian line, two median lines united 

 in the middle by a blotch of coarse brown-black scales, and two diffuse ochreous 

 waved fasciae towards hindmargiu, containing between them an irregularly waved 

 submargiual line ; fringe ochreous. 



Underside of forewings speckled with fuscous ; traces of a dark cell-spot, and 

 abbreviated median line ; a bent liroad postmedian fuscous baud, preceded by a fine 

 fuscous line and followed by a line of brown Innules ending in the yellow subapical 

 jiatch. Hindwiugs with curved narrow antemedian and diffuse postmedian and 

 submargiual lines. Face and jialpi bright brown ; fillet white ; thorax and abdomen 

 white ; collar and sides of shoulders marked with ochreous brown. 



Expanse of wings : 3.5 mm. 



One S from Kampala, Uganda, March 1897 (Dr. Ansorge). 



The dark freckles and bands of the underside of forewings show through on the 

 upper side, makiug that also appear freckled. At one-third, oue-half, aud two-thirds 

 of the costa can be traced obliijue dark paler-edged streaks ; these are in reality the 

 costal endings of the first three lines, the three more conspicuous subajiical spots being 

 the endings of the last three ; the actual angulation of the lines, however, beneath 

 the subcostal veins is in all cases obliterated, but in perfectly fresh specimens this 

 may very likely be distinct. 



Xenostega gen. nov. 



Forewings : with costa slightly curved throughout ; apex blunt ; hindmargin 

 obliquely rounded ; a strong fovea at base. 



Hin.d wings : with well rounded hiudmargin. 



Palpi porrect, short ; antennae of d bipectinated ; tongue and frenulum present; 

 hind tibiae with the median spurs close to the terminal. 



Seuration : forewings ; cell half the length of wing ; discocellular vertical ; 

 first median at two-thirds, second close before third ; U])per radial from top angle 

 of cell, lower from discocellular just below it ; 7, 8, 9, stalked from well before 

 angle ; 10 absent ; 11 out of 12. Hindwiugs with first subcostal and second 

 median before ends of cell. 



Type : Xenostega fallax sp. nov. 



Probably allied to Pcvatophyga Warr.
