Neio South African Micro-LcindoiHera. 371 



Gelechia phelotris, n. sp. 

 ? . 21 mm. Head whitish-ochreous, crown irrorated with 

 fuscous. Palpi ochreous-whitish, second joint irrorated with dark 

 fuscous except towards apex, terminal joint with two broad bands 

 of dark fuscous irroration, as long as second. Antennas whitish- 

 ochreous ringed with dark fuscous. Thorax whitish-ochreous 

 suffused with fuscous and irrorated with dark fuscous. Abdomen 

 grey-whitish. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, 

 apex pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; whitish-ochreous, 

 irregularly and suffusedly mixed throughout with brownish and 

 rather dark fuscous ; stigmata ferruginous with one or two dark 

 fuscous scales, cloudy, indistinct, plical obliquely before first discal ; 

 indications of very indistinct dark fuscous dots round posterior part 

 of costa and termen : cilia pale greyish-ochreous mixed with fuscous 

 and sprinkled with dark fuscous. Hindwings with 6 and 7 nearly 

 parallel towards base, suddenly approximated near base ; grey- 

 whitish ; cilia pale whitish-ochreous. 



Cape Colony, Kimberley, in August (Captain Barrett-Hamilton) ; 

 one specimen. 



Ypsolophus scenites, n. sp. 



J . 18 mm. Head and thorax light greyish-ochreous. Palpi 

 fuscous, second joint rather short, white at apex, with short apical 

 tuft beneath, terminal joint twice as long as second, ochreous- 

 whitish. Antenna and abdomen fuscous. Forewings elongate, 

 rather narrow, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa slightly arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, somewhat oblique ; pale fuscous, 

 with scattered dark fuscous scales ; a short dark fuscous costal 

 strigula before middle ; second discal stigma rather dark fuscous, 

 indistinct : cilia pale ochreous. Hindwings light grey, somewhat 

 darker towards apex ; cilia pale greyish. 



Cape Colony, King William's Town (Lightfoot) ; one specimen. 



Chelaria albogrisea Wals 



This species differs from the type of Chelaria in having two pos- 

 terior scale-projections on apical joint of palpi instead of one, and 

 also 6 of forewings separate, whilst in the type 7 and 8 rise out of 

 6. In the latter character it agrees with the closely allied Australian 

 genus AUocota Meyr., to which it should perhaps be referred ; but 

 I have a number of allied species from India, of which the structural 

 variation is rather puzzling, and their generic definition must be 

 reserved for further study. 



Natal, Durban, in November (Leigh).
