Tineide, and Pterophoride of South Africa. 251 
Eustixis of Hubner is easily recognisable by his figure of 
the North American Hustixis pupula in the ‘Sammlung 
exotischer Schmetterlinge Zutrige,’ figs. 489, 490. This 
species was subsequently described by Walker under the 
name of Mieza subfervens, and placed by him among the 
Iithoside. Messrs. Grote and Robinson (Cat. Lep. 
N. Am., 1868), restored to it the generic name Hustixis, 
under which it was figured by Stretch (‘ Zygenide and 
Bombycide, N. Am.,’ Pl. vii., fig. 17), still among the 
Inthoside. eller then re-described it as Hnemia 
psammitis, rightly regarding it as allied to the genus 
Psecadia, among the Tineide (in the subdivision Hypo- 
nomeutina). The African species, although specifically 
distinct, is undoubtedly congeneric with those of North 
America. 
Depressaria, Haworth. 
Depressaria trimenella, n. s.. (Pl. XI, fig. 19). 
Capite subochraceo, capillis fuscis; palpis sub- 
ochraceis, articulo apicali fusco bicincto, apice extremo 
fusco. Alis anticis dilute ochraceis subbrunneo partim 
suffusis. Plaga costali post medium versus apicem pro- 
jecta nigricante, puncto nigro discali nonnunquam attin- 
gente punctis parvis in costa et in margine apicali nigri- 
cantibus. Posticis dilute cinereis. 
Head and thorax pale ochreous, the raised scales on 
the crest touched with fuscous. Palpi pale ochreous, the 
second joint touched with fuscous on its outer side, the 
apical joint with two fuscous rings, its extreme apex also 
touched with fuscous. Antenne tinged with fuscous. 
Fore wings pale ochreous, partly suffused with a pale 
brownish shade, especially on the lower half of the wing 
before the middle, at the extreme end of the cell, and 
immediately above the anal angle. A large blackish 
patch commences at the middle of the costa, and is 
continued more than half-way to the apex, extending 
nearly half across the wing, where it ends at its ner 
angle in a conspicuous black spot, preceded by some 
detached black scales (the spot is absent in the smaller 
specimens). Before this patch are three or four blackish 
spots on the costa, other smaller ones being distributed 
around the apical margin. Hind wings pale cinereous. 
Expanse, 11—20 mm. 
Four specimens in the Gooch collection, one of which 
was taken at light at Spring Vale in January.
