Subfamily ENNOMINAE. 

 Pareclipsis punctata sp. nov. 



Foveirimj!s: piile reddish fawn-colour, densely but finely black speckled; the 

 lines marked by black spots on the veins; first slightly curved at one-fourth; second 

 from five-sixths of costa below which it is slightly outcnrved, oblique to three- 

 fourths of inner margin, where it becomes obscurely double ; a slight oblique dark 

 shade from aj)ex ; marginal spots black ; cellspot large, black ; fringe concolorous. 



Ili)i(/win(js : with a double postmedian line, the outer one dotted on the veins ; 

 a very faint trace of a submarginal line ; marginal spots scarcely visible. 



Underside, with blackish cellspots and an outer line of spots on veins, that in 

 the hindwings being submarginal. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorons. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



1 ? from Howick, Natal, Oct. 1891. 



The apex of fore wings minutely produced ; hindmargin sinuous, rounded, not 

 elbowed, in the middle. Veins 7, 8, 9, stalked ; 10 and 11 free.

The genus was described from a S, in which sex vein 7 is missing ; but I 

 find that in the ? the neuration is complete, vein 7 being stalked with 8, 9. The 

 antennae of the ? are bipectinate as in the S, the pectinations shorter and more 

 delicate. The specimen, which belongs to the type species /iiscimargo, was taken 

 at Howick, Natal, in October 1891. 



Subfamily PROSOPOLOPHINAE. 

 Pachypalpia gen. nov. 



Forewings: elongate; costa nearly straight ; apex blnnt; hindmargin obliquely 

 curved ; anal angle slight. 



Iliiulicings: narrow; inner margin short; hindmargin subcreaulate, strongly 

 rounded above, nearly straight from anal angle to middle. 



Palpi porrect, stout and hairy, first joint distinct, second broad and expanded, 

 hiding the third joint ; antennae of i stoutly bipectinate, of ? simple ; tongue 

 slightly developed ; frenulum present ; hind-tibiae swollen, with four spurs. 



Xeuratioii : forewing, cell half of wing ; discocellular, vertical ; first median at 

 four-fifths, second close to third ; radials normal ; veins 7, 8, 9, stalked; lu and 11 

 coincident, anastomosing very strongly with 8, 0, and both separating shortly before 

 costa ; hiudwiug : costal approximated to subcostal for half of cell ; vein 7 from 

 close before angle ; no radial.
