tibia with white. Mid legs and hind legs wanting. Fore wing 

 cleft to about one-half, segments moderately broad ; first segment 

 without posterior angle, apex pointed and slightly falcate ; second 

 segment as broad at base as first, slightly expanded posteriorly, 

 tornus well marked, termen oblique and concave, anterior angle pro- 

 duced. Eeddish chocolate-brown ; a few scattered whitish scales 

 along costa from base to just beyond one-half, a few black scales 

 form an indistinct inwardly oblique subcostal bar bordering base of 

 cleft, discal area narrowly suffused between about one-half and one- 

 fourth with whitish-ochreous, giving the appearance of a narrow 

 paler ill-defined streak running inwards from base of cleft to base of 

 wing ; first segment at one-third of its length with an ill-defined but 

 rather conspicuous inwardly oblique whitish-ochreous bar extending 

 across segment from costa to hinder margin, and very indistinctly 

 produced inwards along hinder margin to base of cleft, at two-thirds 

 of its length with an indistinct narrow outwardly curved transverse 

 whitish-ochreous bar, the area between these two bars slightly irro- 

 rated with blackish ; second segment with an indistinct transverse 

 whitish-ochreous bar before one-half of its length. Cilia and costa 

 chocolate-brown, darker exteriorly, lighter opposite bars ; on hinder 

 margin of first segment light fuscous, with a few blackish scales 

 especially evident at about one-half, and a slight black scale-tuft at 

 about five-sixths length of segment ; on fore margin of second 

 segment fuscous with a few scattered black scales, at anterior angle 

 blackish, on termen fuscous, rather lighter basally (of cilia) ; on 

 dorsum fuscous, with a few scattered black scales and slight black 

 scale-teeth at tw^o-thirds, five-sixths, and tornus, cilia between the 

 latter scale-teeth blackish. Hind wing cleft from about one-third 

 and from near base ; segments linear ; dark chocolate-brown. Cilia 

 fuscous ; fore margin of third segment occupied on outer third with 

 short closely-crowded black scales, preceded by a few pale scales, area 

 between these latter and base of segment with a few scattered black 

 scales ; dorsum with a minute apical scale-tooth, a small triangular 

 black scale-tooth at about three-fourths, and a few scattered black 

 scales between this and base. 



One specimen. Transvaal (A. J. Cholmley), 1906/265. The 

 register states that these specimens are from "Transvaal and 

 British East Africa." 



This specimen may possibly be a Tetraschalis (I have not 

 been able to examine the neiiration), but is apparently un- 

 described.

 head beyond it, smoothly scaled, fuscous, dark fuscous beneath ;

 Antennae finely ciliated, dark fuscous, minutely sprinkled with 

 whitish. Head fuscous, greyish on vertex. Thorax fuscous, sprinkled
