Equatorial African Micro-lepidoptera. 45 
This genus differs from Protasis, H.-S., in its neuration 
and in the less acute forewings, but greatly resembles it 
in the form of the palpi, and in general appearance. 
Pseudoprotasis canariella, sp.n. (PI. IL., fig. 7.) 
Antenne ochreous. Palpi canary-yellow, tinged with ferru- 
ginous internally and externally on the upper edge of the second 
joint ; apical joint fuscous. Head and thorax canary-yellow. 
Forewings straw-yellow, with a slight ferruginous tinge at the 
extreme base and along the outer half of the costa, also at the 
apex ; cilia pale straw-yellow, slightly tinged with ferruginous. 
Exp. al., 14mm. Hindwings pale greyish ochreous ; cilia the same, 
but tinged with ferruginous at the apex and along the costa. 
Abdomen ochreous. Legs pale greyish ochreous, with some fuscous 
shading on the hind tibiz and tarsi.

Ethmia rhomboidella, sp.n. (Pl. IIL, fig. 15.) 
Antenne stone-grey. Palpi ochreous, apical joint shaded with 
grey. Head and face ochreous. Thoraw mouse-grey, with five 
black spots (two in front, one in the middle, and two smaller ones 
behind it). Morewings slaty grey, cilia the same ; with six black 
spots (two small ones beneath the costa on the basal fourth, two 
larger ones on the disc, and two on the fold); of the discal 
spots one lies at the end of the cell, the other at the middle of 
the wing; the first of those on the fold is somewhat further 
removed from the base than the second subcostal spot, the other 
lies beyond and below the first discal spot, but nearer to it than 
to the second ; thus these six spots form a series of three pairs, in 
parallel lines whether counted as pairs or in series of three. 
Exp. al. 28mm. Hinduwings stone-grey, having a slight ochreous 
tinge on the abdominal margin, cilia also inclining to ochreous, 
except towards apex. [Abdomen missing.] Legs greyish 
ochreous. 
Type. 9°. Mus. Wlsm.
