Natal, Pinetowh, in June (Leir/h); one specimen. This is a 

 good species, and the neuration is clear, but further specimens are 

 needed to justify the normality of the type; the only other South 

 African TorLricid that I have seen with 7 and 8 of forewin"-s 

 stalked was au abnormal example of Tortrix capensana.
