Tineide, and Pterophoride of South Africa. 225 
Head, thorax, palpi and antenne pale yellowish grey, 
the palpi extending twice the length of the head beyond 
it, the second joint rather coarsely scaled, tapering 
outwardly towards the short obtuse apical joint. Fore 
wings with the costa rather prominently arched near 
the base, the apical margin slightly oblique, somewhat 
emarginate about the middle, pale yellowish grey, 
minutely streaked and slightly spotted with olivaceous 
scales, giving them a rather reticulated appearance; an 
olivaceous fuscous outwardly oblique fascia from before 
the middle of the costa; an elongate triangular costal 
spot before the apex, and a slight shade near the base of 
the dorsal margin of the same colour. Hind wings dull 
greyish, with a slight fuscous costal spot near the apex, 
and a dull greyish line along the middle of the paler 
cilia. Hxpanse, 15 mm. 
As compared with the American Lozotenia peritana 
(Snucrotes peritana, Clem.), it can only be distinguished 
by its larger size, longer palpi, and slightly less ochreous 
colour; the costa is also more arched towards the base.
