Tineide, and Pterophoride of South Africa. 228 
This species is represented in Mr. Gooch’s collection 
by four males and two females, in somewhat better 
condition than Mr. Walker’s original types which are in 
the British Museum. Having quoted as synonyms the 
two names supposed by Mr. Walker to have been given 
by him to two distinct species, I feel that no apology 
will be required for reprinting at full length the Latin 
diagnosis of each as it appears on the same page of his 
Catalogue:— 
**53. Teras capensana. 
‘“* Mas.—Pallide cervina; ale antice acute, strigulis 
plurimis transyersis fuscescentibus; postice pallide 
cineres.” 
**55. Teras meridionana. 
** Was.—Pallide cervina; ale strigulis plurimis trans- 
versis indistinctis obscurioribus ; antice acute; postice 
albido-cinerez.”’ 
The English descriptions which follow are almost as 
nearly parallel word for word as the Latin. I may add 
that a careful examination of the typical specimens still 
further confirms the evidence of their identity. The 
only appreciable difference between them is stated by 
Mr. Walker thus :—T’. capensana, ‘‘length of the wings 
8 lines”; JT’. meridionana, ‘length of the wings 9—10 
lines”. The same difference of size occurs between 
some of Mr. Gooch’s specimens. This species seems to 
belong without doubt to the genus Lozotenia, Herrich- 
Schaffer, as defined by Heinemann.
