490 Mr. E. Meyrick’s Notes and 
TRANSVAAL, Pretoria, from February to April (Janse); 
three specimens. 
Alucita elaeopa, n. sp. 
3 2. 21-26 mm. Head ochreous-whitish, sprinkled with dark 
fuscous. Palpi and antenne whitish. Thorax and abdomen whitish- 
ochreous. Legs whitish, anterior and middle tibiz blackish beneath, 
posterior legs whitish-ochreous. Fore-wings cleft from 2, segments 
linear ; pale ochreous ; minute black dots on costa at about 2 and 2 of 
first segment: cilia whitish-ochreous, within cleft with scattered black- 
tipped scales, on dorsum with four small equidistant projections of 
black-tipped scales, first before cleft, fourth at ? of second segment. 
Hind-wings cleft firstly from 4, secondly from near base, segments 
linear ; ochreous-whitish tinged with grey, base of cleft grey ; cilia 
ochreous-grey-whitish, at base with minute scattered grey scales 
especially on first segment. 
AssAM (Khasi Hills), in November; three specimens. 
Alucita candidalis, Walk. 
(Aciptilus candidalis, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat. 948; 
A, lewcadactylus, ib. 948.) 
After examining a considerable number of specimens, 
I am satisfied that these represent only one species, 
ranging from South Africa through India to the Philip- 
pines, New Guinea, and North-East Queensland, varying 
in the development of the minute black dots which are 
more or less apparent at the base of the cilia, but always 
recognisable by its pale yellowish colour (though described 
as white by Walker in each instance) from the following 
species, to which it is otherwise closely allied. A. aptalis, 
Walk., is much broader-winged. 
Alucita niveodactyla, Pag. 
(Alucita mniveodactyla, Pag. “Zoologica” xxix, 240; 
A. nivea, Snell. Tijd. v. Ent. xlvi, 56, pl. V, 17.) 
Differs from the preceding in being pure white; it 
ranges from Ceylon to the Philippines and Solomon 
Islands.
