Tineide, and Pterophoride of South Africa. 269 
wings (with the costa considerably arched, the apical 
margin oblique) whitish, longitudinally streaked with 
pale fawn-colour, which fills all the interspaces between 
the veins, leaving these conspicuously distinguished by 
the whitish ground colour. Along the basal half of the 
costal margin is a conspicuous whitish streak, narrow at 
the base, broader towards its middle, and gradually 
attenuated towards the middle of the costa, dying out a 
little beyond it. At the extreme base of the costa are a 
few brownish scales. There are two small brownish 
fuscous discal spots, the lesser before, the greater 
beyond, the middle; a series of three or four subobsolete 
spots of the same colour are distinguishable along the 
apical margin in good specimens. Cilia whitish, mixed 
with pale fawn-colour. Hind wings very pale cinereous 
fawn-colour. Legs roughly hairy, as in Topeutis 
barbella, Fab., with which it appears to agree also in 
neuration. Hxpanse, 19 mm. 
One male from Bedford, South Africa. 
I am indebted to Mr. H. Druce for this interesting 
addition to my collection; I have ventured to name it 
in his honour. There are also two specimens of this 
species in Mr. Gooch’s collection, taken at light in 
October and November at Spring Vale.
