Tineide, and Pterophoride of South Africa. 231 
fusco adumbratis excepta plaga costali elongata ante 
medium. Posticis brunneo-fuscis. 
Head and thorax greyish ; palpi greyish, much shaded 
on the end of the second joint and on the short apical 
joint with fuscous. Antenne greyish. Fore wings (with 
the costa slightly waved, the apex depressed, the apical 
margin slightly oblique) whitish, with a strong fuscous 
patch stretching over nearly two-thirds of their length, 
having its outer margin oblique and somewhat irregularly 
defined; an elongated patch of the whitish ground 
colour running along the costal margin before the 
middle, extending to the base, surrounded by the fuscous 
shade, and containing some small fuscous costal spots 
and streaklets, which are again repeated beyond the 
middle. Towards the apex is an olivaceous costal shade, 
and an inconspicuous olivaceous streak crossing from 
the costa to the middle of the apical margin. Hind 
wings brownish fuscous, their costal margin whitish. 
Two females; expanse, 19 mm. 
«“D’Urban and Spring Vale; to light in garden, 
September and November.” 
Having only two female specimens from which to 
describe this species, it must be somewhat uncertain 
whether I have rightly placed it in the genus Hccopsis. 
The coloration is almost exactly that of a Penthina, but 
the shape of the wings ig remarkably similar to those of 
the supposed Eccopsis wahlbergrana, mentioned above, as 
well as to those of many species of the North American 
genus, Exartema.*

I find in Mr. Gooch’s collection three specimens, 
which do not appear to differ in any greater degree from 
some of the European varieties of Aphelia lanceolana,
