At the time of describing the type of tbis species, a ? , I remarked that it was 

 a doubtful Ectropis ; and this proves correct. A S from Bihe, Angola (Pembertou) 

 taken in October 1901 has the long carved cilia of Mi/rioblephara, to which genus 

 it must be transferred. 



The palpi, as in the ?, arc longer than usual. On the underside of forewing 

 the black markings are deeper, and the extreme apex is white. 



Trigouomelea gen. nov. 



Forewing : with a large and eous]}icaous fovea in the S ; veins 10 and 11 free ; 

 otherwise, like the hindwing, agreeing with ordinary Aids. 



Paljii thick, the basal segment peaked below, the second globular, hiding the 

 third ; forehead produced to a point below ; antennae of S with broadly flattened 

 triangular segments, the apex of each segment laterally with a small double fascicle 

 of sessile cilia. 



Type : T. semifusca spec. nov. 



36. Trigonomelea semifusca spec. nov. 



Forewing : white, finely speckled with grey ; the basal area filled up with 

 grey and whitish scales, limited by a geminate dark line at one-fourth, angled 

 in cell, then oblique inwards ; median shade outcurved from costa to inner margin 

 just before middle ; outer line lunulate-dentate, marked darker on the veins, from 

 three-fourths of costa to inner margin close beyond median shade ; submarginal line 

 waved, whitish, ill defined ; the whole space between median shade and submarginal 

 line filled uji by a purplish grey shade, extended to margin also between veins 

 4 and 7 and above anal angle, excepting a pale yellowish triangular blotch on costa 

 beyond median shade ; large black marginal spots ; fringe white, dark grey beyond 

 the shades. 



Hindwing : with no grey basal patch, the purplish grey fascia extending to 

 margin above vein 4, the hiudmargin below middle white to anal angle. 



Underside white, with the purplish grey tints showing through only ; forewing 

 with large black cell-spot and blackish apical patch, leaving the extreme apex 

 white. 



Palpi externally black, beneath and at extreme apex white ; face and thorax 

 white, the tips of shoulders and bottom of face grey ; abdomen white with grey 

 rings. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm.
