New or Little Known Species of the Hcmcrohiidoi. 445 



clasps ( (? ) totally flavescent ; wings lacteous with the median part 

 occupied by a pinkish- Ueshy band occupying the median part of the 

 area, and of the same shape as the wings themselves, which are 

 acuminate at apex ; the costal area of the fore wing is closely 

 tessellate from near the base to the stigma, which is sub-flavescent, 

 the rounded margin being dotted with a series of small spots ; along 

 the post-costal nervure is a series of sub-equidistant small macules 

 reaching also from near the base to below the stigma, the hind 

 lacteous part of the wings and also the apical are sprinkled with 

 numerous small black dots; in the hind wings the costal area is 

 spotless, except for a tiny spot at the furcation of the rami, the post- 

 costal has three black macules, and the hind lacteous part a series 

 of small macules, which do not reach the lower margin ; all the 

 nervures and nervules bear sharp, arcuate, erect, rigid bristles, and 

 the margins are very briefly fimbriate ; legs yellow with the coxae, 

 the knees, the apex of the tibiae, and tarsal joints and the claws 

 black. 



Length of body ( <? ) 19 mm. ; fore wings expanded 48 mm. ; hind 

 wings 43 mm.

I know of no ally to which this pretty South African species could

Gen. CEEAGBIS, Hag. 

 Creagris inclitus, n. sp.^ 



Head and thorax yellow, but occasionally duller ; the abdomen 

 and legs are sub-rufescent and concolorous ; wings hyaline with a 

 narrow elongate pterostigma somewhat pale brown in the anterior, 

 posterior ones much longer than the anterior and with a median 

 longitudinal slightly fuscous brown, narrow band towards the apex. 

 Antennae light brown, very long in the S- , being one and three- 

 quarters the length of the thorax, less elongated in the ? , but still 

 very long, and with the apical joints slightly acuminate ; labrum 

 flavous, frons fuscous, vertex highly raised, fissured in the centre 

 and with a faint, broad fuscous median band continued in the centre 

 of the pronotum ; the meso- and metasternums are more or less 

 distinctly fusco-maculate ; the abdomen is very long in the ^ , much 

 less so in the ? ; the wings are much longer than the body, hyaline, 

 with the nervures and nervules flavous, the fore wings are narrow, 

 sharply acuminate at apex with a shght sinuation there in the hind 

 margin, the pterostigma is narrowly elongate and somewhat light 

 brown ; the hind wings are much narrower and much longer than
