Equatorial African Micro-lepidoptera. 63 
Comrscctena, Z. 
Compsoctena media, sp.n. (PI. III., fig. 25.) 
Antenne dentate, shortly biciliate ; pale cinereous. Jalpi pro- 
jecting less than the length of the head beyond it, brush-like ; dull 
ochreous with a few brownish scales. //ead very roughly clothed : 
dull ochreous. Vhorax whitish cinereous, transversely banded 
with brown. forewings whitish cinereous mottled and reticulated 
with brown, a series of brownish patches along the costa ; three 
small ones before the middle, of which the first two form the 
upper edge of an ill-defined basal patch, a broad one on the middle 
of the costa, forming the upper end of a somewhat broken trans- 
verse fascia inclining slightly inwards to the dorsum, and two 
beyond the middle, the first small, the second larger, before the 
apex, also blending with a shade of brownish scales beneath it ; 
the interspaces between these spots on the outer half of the costa 
are ochreous, the costal cilia immediately above the apex being 
also ochreous, and a slight ochreous shade runs through the base 
of the cilia along the termen, in which are three more or less dis- 
tinct lines of brown scales, the outer extremities of the cilia being 
greyish. Ivp, al., 16 mm. LHindwings purplish grey, cilia pale 
cinereous with a faint ochreous parting line along their base. 
Abdomen greyish, anal tuft ochreous. Legs brown, hind tarsal 
joints annulated with pale cinereous.

This species appears to differ somewhat from Comp- 
soctena primella, Z., in the formation of the antennw 
and in the shorter palpi, but the neuration is the same, 
and its divergence from the type can be scarcely con- 
sidered of generic value.
