Neio So2ith African Micro-Lepidoptcra. 365 



whitish-ochreous somewhat mixed with fuscous. Antennfe ochreous- 

 whitish, pectinations hardly 3, hned with dark fuscous. Thorax 

 ochreous-whitish, shoulders suffused with dark fuscous irroration. 

 Abdomen ochreous-whitish more or less suffused with fuscous. 

 Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen somewhat rounded, oblique ; all veins separate ; 

 ochreous-whitish, irregularly strewn with suffused fuscous strigulae 

 irrorated with blackish-fuscous, appearing to form a small basal 

 patch, a broad streak along anterior f of costa, a broad bent median 

 fascia, and a patch in disc posteriorly, but these are all very indefi- 

 nite ; the ground-colour appears to form a clear white patch towards 

 dorsum before middle, and another towards costa beyond middle ; 

 about five small dark fuscous spots on posterior half of costa : cilia 

 whitish-ochreous, indistinctly barred with grey and dark fuscous 

 irroration. Hindwings grey, sprinkled with darker ; cilia whitish, 

 with a fuscous shade. 



Cape Colony, Vryburg ; two specimens. An obscure insect, but 

 distinguished from other species of similar appearance by the shorter 

 antennal pectinations, which in them are about 5. 



SUPPLEMENT. 



Since writing the above, I have received a further consignment of 

 material from Dr. P6ringuey, as well as some bred from the larvae 

 by Mr. Chas. Lounsbury, the Cape Government Entomologist ; and 

 I have therefore added these in the form of a supplementary list.
