\\'iiigs bvoarl and sliort ; ajiex blunt ; a very slight, scarcoly perceptible, bend at 

 vein 4 (in one example entirely absent j, and the hindniargin evenly curved. 



¥. Pale ochreous, with darker dusting; markings as in c?, and in addition the 

 commencement on costa before apex of a brown submarginal shade. Both wings 

 narrower ; forewings with apex acute, the hindniargin below it concave. 



I'^xpanse of wings : c? 35 — 44 mm. ; ? 40 mm. 



Six c?c?, one ? , from the Escarpment,* Britisii Kast Africa, February and March 

 1901 (W. Doherty). 



The single ? is worn, and was probably darker when fresh. The species differs 

 somewhat from others of the genus in the wing-shape, and in the forewings vein 10 

 ahvaj's anastomoses more or less strongly with 1 1 . 



Syndetodes gen. nov. 



Fm-eivings: costa straight from base to near middle, then strongly convex and 

 with a slight shoulder at middle as in iipliuvioriiima Warr. ; apex produced, blunt; 

 hindmargin slightly concave, anal angle well marked. 



HindiviiKjs : triangular ; hindmargin straight, both angles rounded off, the anal 

 angle prominent. 



Antennae of cJ short and stout, bipectinate, the pectinations decreasing to the 

 tip ; palpi porrect, short and thick, closely scaled, the terminal joint small, drooping ; 

 tongue invisible; frenulum strong; legs short and stout; hindtibiae thickened 

 towards end, with four closely approximate spurs. 



Neuration : forewings, cell half as long as wing ; discocellular vertical, angled 

 outwards above, inwards below ; first median at quite two-thirds, second close before 

 third ; lower radial from the upper angle of discocellular, therefore above the middle, 

 upper radial wanting (? coincident with o or 7); 7, 8 stalked from end of cell, 

 7 given off at one-fourth; 9, 10, 11 coincident, .strongly anastomosing with 12, 

 9 ultimately anastomosing with 8 shortly before apex : hind wings, costal approximated 

 to subcostal at middle of cell, 7, 8 from upper end of cell ; no radial ; first median 

 nervule at five-.sixths, second and third from lower end of cell. 



Type : Syndetodes serpnentata sp. nov. 



Distinguished from Sphim/oviima, to which it is evidently allied, Ijy the simple 

 hindmargin of forewings, and by the very different neuration. 



102. Syndetodes segmentata sp. nov. 



Forewings: rich olive-brown throughout basal two-thirds, fawn-colour beyond; 

 the costal edge also pale fiiwn-colour, with minute dark brown speckles ; the lines 

 dark brown ; first fi-om one-fourth of costa to one-third of inner margin, vertical but 

 zigzag ; second from just before apex to before two-thirds of inner margin, bent just 

 below costa, then curved nearly parallel to hindmargin, slightly crenulate at the 

 veins; cell-spot dark brown, large and round; fringe brown. 



HindimtKjs: costal area pale and glossy; an outer dark line concave towards 

 margin from two-thirds of costa to anal angle ; the area within it olive-brown, outside 

 [lale pinkish fawn-colour; cell-spot blackish brown with a minute pale centre; inner 

 margin pale fawn-colour.
