o 
220 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricidae, 
Museum,’ vols. xxviii. to xxxv., described two new 
genera and six new species of Tortricide, with six new 
genera and twenty-seven new species of Tineide and 
Pterophoride from Natal and the Transvaal. 
In 1875 Herr Pastor Wallengren, in the ‘ Ofversigt 
Af. Kongl. Vet. Akad. For.,’ 1875, Arg. 32, pp. 127—180, 
described five new species of Tineide and one new 
Alucita; and, in the same year, Messrs. Felder and 
Rogenhofer figured eight species as new in the ‘ Reise der 
Fregatte Novara.’ 
Thus the whole number of South African species in 
the above-named groups (including also the Alucitide), 
which have been distinguished up to the present time, 
amount to 92 only, and this number must be somewhat 
reduced, as I propose to show in the course of the 
present paper, by the necessary rectification of their 
synonymy. 
The examination of Mr. Gooch’s collection has been 
very instructive ; not only has it been found to contain 
many new and interesting forms, but the necessary 
study of the work already done has made me acquainted 
with the typical species, upon which no less than eleven 
genera have been founded, although four of these cannot 
rightly be retained. It is much to be regretted that 
many of Mr. Gooch’s specimens are not in sufficiently 
good condition to warrant their description, and that for 
this reason it has been necessary to pass over much new 
material which might otherwise have been made avyail- 
able to increase our very limited acquaintance with these 
local forms. 
The following, so far as I am able to ascertain, is a 
complete list of described South African Tortricide, 
Tineide, Pterophoride, and Alucitide, up to the present 
time. It will be found to include descriptions of several 
new specific and some new generic forms from Mr. 
Gooch’s collection, with the addition of a few species 
from my own cabinet, and two from the British 
Museum. 
I have endeavoured to make the list somewhat more 
useful by pointing out the synonymy of the genera and 
species wherever sufficient evidence has been found to 
enable me to determine it, as well as by making a few 
notes upon the typical specimens in the collection at the 
British Museum where Mr. Walker’s descriptions have 
seemed to require additions or corrections.
