HiEROXESTis OMOSCOPA Meyr. 



Cape Colony, Capetown, in January (Lightfoot) ; two specimens. 

 Hitherto only recorded from Australia, where however it is almost 

 certainly not native, so that Africa may be its real home.

 . Transvaal, Klerksdorp, in September (Alston).

 Cape Colony, Capetown (Lightfoot) ; five specimens. An 

 introduced species, now cosmopolitan. 



MoNOPis ethelella Newm. 

 Cape Colony, Capetown, in December (Lightfoot) ; six speci- 

 mens. These have the discal spot usually smaller and more dot-

 typical form with which I am familiar in Australia and New 



Zealand.

 mens. Introduced with grain, on which it feeds.
