Tineide, and Pterophoride of South Africa. 259 
and at the same distance on its other side in the direction 
of the anal angle are a few scattered scales of the same 
colour; some small paler scales are widely scattered 
over the general surface of the wing. A_ straight 
purplish fuscous streak occupies the middle of the apical 
margin, extending downwards into the cilia above the 
anal angle, and upwards towards the costa near the 
apex, giving a square appearance which does not 
correspond to the actual shape of the wing margin. 
Hind wings narrow, ovate, rather shining, very pale 
cinereous, small in proportion to the upper wings. Hx- 
panse, 15 mm. 
This species appears to agree more closely with 
(Ecophora than with any other genus, but the hind 
wings are unusually small, and | am unwilling to denude 
the only specimen in the collection to ascertain its 
neuration. 
One specimen in Mr. Gooch’s collection. 
TERATOPSIS, Nl. g. 
Capilli hirsuti; ore levi. Ocelli nulli. Haustellum 
mediocre, squamatum. Palpi maxillares brevissimi supra 
haustellum conniventes. Palpi labiales erecti verticem 
superantes, articulo secundo quam tertio bis longiore, 
tertio squamis rudibus ante apicem aliquot incrassato, 
apice acuminato. Antenne supra subserrate. Ale 
antice costa ante medium perarcuata margine postico 
subobliquo, vena apicali fureata. Ale postice sat late 
cellula clausa. Tibi postice hirsute pilose. 
Head rough above, face smooth. Ocelli none. Tongue 
of moderate length, scaled. Maxillary palpi short, 
meeting over the tongue. Labial palpi erect, slightly 
overreaching the vertex, the third joint about half the 
length of the second, roughly scaled in the middle, with 
the apex acuminate. Antenne slightly serrated above. 
Fore wings quadrangular, the costa sharply arched before 
the middle, the apical margin rather oblique ; anal angle 
with long cilia. The apical vein forked, all the others 
single. Hind wings rather broad, rounded at the tip, 
not emarginate below the apex. Hind tibie thickly 
clothed with coarse hair-like scales. Spurs short. 
This genus seems to be allied to Cryptolechia. The 
apical joint of the palpi, which is somewhat coarsely
