222 Mr. H. T. Stainton's Descriptions 



4i. Adela Natalensls, n. sp. 

 Alis anticis brunneis, fascia sub-obliqua dilute-hitea ante me- 



diiun, macula costali lutea pone medium ; capite fusca. 

 Exp. al. 7 lin. 



Readily distinguished from all the known long-horns by the 

 oblique fascia and costal spot. 



1 first obtained specimens of this from Herr Guenzius, at 

 Natal. Mr. Trimen met with several specimens at Knysna, in 

 February, 



5. Ceromitia IFahlbergi, Zeller. 

 Alis anticis niveis, parum griseo-irroratis, fasciis tribus obliquis 

 aureo-luteis, quarnm duae posteriores inter se coheerent ; 

 capite ac thorace niveis. 

 Exp. al. 21 lin. 



This pretty species is described by Zeller in his Lepidoptera 

 Microptera of CaflTraria. Though it has so completely the facies 

 of a Nemophora, the structure of the hardly perceptible palpi at 

 once shows that it is generically distinct, and Zeller has done 

 wisely to construct for it a new genus, Ceromitia. 



Several specimens were taken by Mr. Trimen at Plettenberg 

 Bay in January ; they were flying amongst rushes at sunset. 



6. Hyponomeuta fumigatiis, Zeller. 

 Alis anticis fumidis, punctis triseriatis ex basi atris, plica albida, 

 fascia postica albida ante puncta 5 sparsa marginem posticum 

 versus; alis poslicis nigris, vix dilutius ciliatis. 

 Exp. al. 1 m. 1 lin. 



A specimen I have before me appears to agree with the Fu- 

 migatus described by Zeller in his Microptera of Caffraria, only 

 a white dash runs along the fold and a whitish fascia 'precedes the 

 hind margin. Probably, as in the same genus with us, the species 

 is liable to vary ; the black hind wing leads me to believe that 

 the specimen collected by Mr. Trimen is really the Fumigatus of 

 Zeller. 



One specimen was beaten from a tall shrub at Knysna, in 

 January. 



7. Hyponomeuta Africanus, n. sp. 



Alis anticis niveis, punctis quinque seriatis a basi nigris, maculis 

 duabus cinereis, altera in medio dorsi obliqua, altera minore 

 ad angulum analem ; alis posticis dilute cinereis. 



Exp. al. 9i lin. 



Not closely allied to any known species ; distinguished by the
