BLASTOBASID^. 



Blastobasis taricheuta, n. sp. 

 $ . 21 mm. Head brownish-ochreous. Palpi whitish-ochreous 

 mixed with dark fuscous except at apex of second joint. Antennae 

 and thorax fuscous. Abdomen whitish-ochreous mixed with fuscous. 

 Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, 

 termen extremely obliquely rounded ; fuscous, with a few whitish 

 scales ; a lighter spot on base of costa ; round spots representing 

 discal stigmata, an undefined streak along fold, and a subtriangular 

 spot on tornus very indistinctly formed by darker suffusion ; indis- 

 tinct ochreous-whitish dots along posterior third of costa and round 

 apex : cilia whitish-ochreous tinged with brownish. Hindwings and 

 cilia whitish-ochreous. 



Cape CoLONy, Capetown (Lightfoot) ; one specimen. 



(ECOPHOEIDiE. 



ISOCEITA, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales ; ocelli present ; tongue developed. 

 Antennae f , in ^ serrulate, pubescent, basal joint moderate, without 

 pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint with appressed 

 scales, loosely spreading towards apex, terminal joint shorter 

 than second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi short, loosely scaled, 

 appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. 

 Forewings with lb very long-furcate, 2 from f, 3 from angle, 7 and 

 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from rather before middle. Hindwings j, 

 ovate-lanceolate, cilia 1|-; 2-7 nearly equidistant and parallel. 



This genus appears to be certainly allied to Diocosma, described 

 in the earlier part of this paper, and though both are curious and 

 rather abnormal, I think that, considered together, they must be 

 referred to the CEcophoridcB, falling in the group Depressariadcs, 

 and probably having most affinity to the Indian genus Eonympha. 



ISOCEITA stolarcha, n. sp. 



g ? . 12-13 mm. Head and thorax pale yellow thinly reticu- 

 lated with red, face shining yellow- whitish. Palpi rosy- whitish.
