Ncio South African Micro- Lepidoptera. 359 



rounded, oblique ; pale shining grey ; 25-29 small black spots or 

 dots, viz., a series of four or five just beneath anterior half of costa, 

 a series of about seven below this from ^ to near apex, an evenly 

 distributed median series of seven, a subdorsal series of five or six, 

 and about five small ones arranged on veins 7 and 8 towards apex : 

 cilia pale grey. Hindwings dark grey ; basal hyaline patch short, 

 narrow, acute, lying above vein Ic ; cilia light grey. 



Natal, Lower Umkomaas, in January ; two specimens. 



COPTOPEOCTIS Z. 



Head smooth ; ocelli absent ; tongue developed. Antennae f , 

 basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi rather short, 

 ascending, loosely scaled, terminal joint shorter than second, 

 pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae smooth- 

 scaled. Forewings with lb furcate, 2 from angle, 3 and 4 stalked, 

 7 and 8 separate, 7 to termen, secondary cell defined, 11 from before 

 middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia J; 2 remote, 3 and 4 

 stalked, 5 remote, curved, 6 and 7 rather near together and nearly 

 parallel, transverse vein acutely angulated inwards on 6. 



Allied to Anticrates, from which it differs by the stalking of veins 

 3 and 4 of forewings. I give the characters of this genus, as they 

 are insufficiently given by Zeller, who treated it only as a group of 

 Ethmia (Psecadia), to which it is not in fact at all related. 



COPTOPROCTIS LANGUIDA Z. 



Cape Colony, Kalk Bay, in March. 



Bateachedra (emias, n. sp. 



<^ . 11 mm. Head grey, face white. Palpi white, second and 

 terminal joints each with two dark fuscous bands. Antennae dark 

 grey, towards apex with three slender white rings. Thorax grey, 

 patagia suffused with ochreous. Abdomen grey. Forewings very 

 narrow, elongate-lanceolate ; clear light ochreous-brown ; a moderate 

 fuscous streak irrorated with dark fuscous along dorsum from base to 

 near apex, with the rather large dark fuscous plical stigma resting on 

 its upper edge ; a similar streak along posterior half of costa, con- 

 tinued as a fine line along costal edge to base ; second discal stigma 

 minute, black ; a small black apical dot : cilia rather dark fuscous, at 

 apex with a basal brownish-ochreous spot. Hindwings rather dark 

 fuscous ; cilia fuscous. 



Cape Colony, Capetown, in September ; one specimen.
