ringed with whitish. Thorax dark fuscous sprinkled with whitish. 

 Abdomen fuscous. Forewings elongate, somewhat dilated posteriorly, 

 costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen faintly sinuate, rather 

 oblique ; dark fuscous, irrorated with white throughout ; the con- 

 fluence of white irroration forms about eight indistinct transverse 

 marks from costa, more defined posteriorly ; anterior half of wing 

 with indications of undefined transverse whitish striae ; two more 

 distinct transverse whitish marks from dorsum beyond middle ; two 

 undefined thick somewhat curved leaden -grey striae spi'inkled with 

 white from costa about j to about tornus, forming margins of ocellus, 

 within which are three indistinct black dots or marks ; last costal 

 white mark extended indistinctly to termen beneath apex : cilia 

 fuscous sprinkled and indistinctly barred with white, with a dark 

 fuscous subbasal shade. Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate ; whitish- 

 fuscous, apical area and termen broadly suffused with fuscous ; cilia 

 fuscous-whitish, with fuscous subbasal line. 



Cape Colony, Hex Eiver ; two specimens bred in August from 

 larvae feeding on a species of Ccroplastcs (CoccidcB) (Lounsbury). 

 The generic name Eucosma Hb. is (as Prof. Fernald has shown 

 to be necessary) applied here to the genus hitherto termed by me 

 Epiblema Hb. ; the generic reference of the present species is, how- 

 ever, in the absence of the S , still uncertain. 



TOKTEICID^. 



Cacoecia heliaspis Meyr. 



cT . 17 mm. Forewings with costal fold reaching from base to ^, 

 narrow, slight, costa posteriorly sinuate, apex almost rectangular, 

 termen straight, vertical, rounded beneath ; a large undefined blotch 

 of dark ashy-fuscous and blackish-fuscous suffusion occupying most 

 of dorsum and reaching half across wing ; other characters as in ? . 



I think, however, now that this may be a geographical form of 

 C. occidentalis Wals.
