"The autcuuae of the S are thickeued and flattened iu the basal third, with 

 strongly marked triangular joints, the rest suliserrate with fascicles of cilia. 

 Forewiugs of t? witli large fovea, of wliich there are traces in the ? also. 



31. Tephrinopsis illineata sp. nov. 



Fore/r/'/ir/s : dull white, thickly striated with (jlive fuscons ; no distinct lines ; 

 but througli the thickening of the striae traces of a curved line near base, and a 

 median line can be traced ; at four-fifths a submarginal olive fuscous fascia, with 

 diffuse inner and more defined outer edge ; the lower part of this fascia is widened 

 at inner margin, its onter edge curved and ending below vein 4 in a small wedge- 

 shai)ed brown projection towards hindmargin ; the nj)per part is cut off short at 

 vein T) ; into the space between these portions runs the apex of an olive fuscous 

 triangular jiatch on hindmargin, which is connected above with a small apical patch, 

 and below with a semi-oval patch, these marginal shades being separated from the 

 snbmarginal fascia by the curved white submarginal line, which, like the fascia, is 

 also interrupted beyond cell ; an intcrrnjjted dark marginal line ; fringe olive-brown, 

 with darker median line ; cell-spot brown ; costa yellowish, with small black striae. 



Ilindicimjs : with the outer fascia unbroken, snbmarginal white space broader 

 between veins 3 and 4. 



Underside with the markings duller ; head, thorax, and abdomen whitish 

 speckled with fuscons. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm.

It is possible that this insect may turn out to be the c? of T. ulter/iata from 

 Delagoa Bay, wrongly described as a Gonoilda (cf. Nov. ZooL. VI. p. 3U6), to 

 which, except for the entire absence of lines, it bears a great resemblance. 



32. Tephrinopsis ochriciliata sj). nov. 



Forewings : pale yellowish ochreons, densely and finely sprinkled with reddish 

 fuscons speckles; costa with short dark stri;e; the lines distinct, reddish brown; the 

 first, acutely angled on the subcostal vein, from one-fourth of costa to one-fourth of 

 iiiuer margin ; the second ipiite straight from middle of costa to a little before 

 middle of inner margin ; the outer from five-sixths of costa to three-fourths of inner 

 margin, slightly curved above middle, and preceded by a narrow pale unsjieekled 

 line ; marginal line very fine and concise, blackish, interruiited at the ends of the 

 veins ; fringe clear shining ochreons, tlie tijis from ajiex to vein 3 shining grey. 



llindwingis : the same, without first line ; the fringe with grey tips, except at 

 aj)ex and anal angle. 



Underside with the speckling and lines redder and plainer ; no basal line on 

 forewiugs ; cell-spots distinct ; in one examjile these also show on the njiper side ; 

 head, paljii, and base of shoulders lirown ; thorax and abdomen like wings. 



Expanse of wings : 28 — 30 mm. 



2 <SS from Cubal River, Angola, Febrnary and Ai>ril 1S09 (Penrico). 



Forewings with slight fovea ; antennae with angulated joints and fascicles 

 of cilia.
