Genus Xenimpia Warr. 



The pxaiii])l('s of X (Vow? Warr., the only species of tlie j^-enns, have hilliei-to 

 all been ? ?. The d, of whieh a single specimen has at last been received, differs 

 from the ? in the same way as the c? c? of Proci/phfi from their ? ?. In both 

 wings the hindmargiu is simjile, neitlier toothed nor excised ; in the forewing it 

 is scarcely sinnons, in the liindwing bhintly lient at veins 4 and 6. In fact, except 

 that the antennae of the ? are quite simple, while in Proeypha they are pectinated, 

 the two genera are identical ; both, however, differ from the genus (h-sonnha in 

 having veins 10, 11 of forewing coincident instead of separate. 



'!2. Xenimpia erosa Warr. 



The S of this species is dull pinldsh fawn-colonr, mottled along costa with 

 dark grey, and blackish grey along its base and through the cell ; the lines are 

 dark ; the first from one-third of costa is acutely angled on subcostal at the end of 

 cell, then oblique to one-fourth of inner margin ; the outer line is slightly curved 

 from two-thirds of costa to inner margin just beyond first line ; the submarginal 

 line is shown by a black blotch at anal angle and some black and wliite scales 

 below apex, united by a faint grey cloud ; fringe fawn-colour tipped with white. 



Hindwinfi : without speckling or trace of lines. 



In neither wing is there a vestige of the hyaline s])aces of the ?. 



Underside paler; the markings of forewing jilainer ; tlir liindwing slightly 

 speckled, and with traces of three or four faint carved lines. 



Shoulders and Ijase of patagia, palpi externally, and front of forelegs grey ; 

 rest of head, thorax, and abdomen like wings. 



Expanse of wings : 37 mm. 



] S from Durban, Natal, July 19U2 (K. Thorn). 



A ? from Durban (G. F. Leigh) agrees with the S hfre described in having 

 the ground-colour dull red, instead of grey as in the type. 



Subfamily PROSOPOLOPHINAE. 

 63. Axiodes figurata spec. nov. 



c?. Forewinji : pale speckled grey, with a darker grey central fascia, edged by 

 blackish lines and very broad at costa ; first line from one-fourth of costa, oblique 

 outwards to median vein, then waved inwards to one-third of inner margin ; outer 

 line from a little before apex, slightly obli(iue inwards to vein 4, then more strongly 

 and waved to near middle of inner margin, forming a rounded ])rominence outwards 

 in submedian interspace and a sinus inwards above it; cell-sjiot blackish ; fringe 

 concolorous. 



Ilhidiriiii/ : cinereous grey, with an indistinct waved darker postmedian line 

 and slight cell-spot. 



Underside ashy grey. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen ashy grey. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



1 c? from the foot of the Nieuwveld Mts., five miles nortli-west of Beaufort
