costa to the anal angle, a diverging streak leaving this 
fascia below the costa and running to the basal third of 
the dorsal margin, two rather triangular costal spots, 
the one before, the other beyond, the middle, the 
extreme base of the costa, and a streak along the apical 
margin; between these markings are some few bright 
rosy vermilion shades. Hind wings and cilia brownish 
fuscous. Expanse, 14 mm. 
One specimen given to me by Mr. Druce from Bedford, 
South Africa. It differs from Hypercallia igniferella, 
Walk., an Australian species, in its darker hind wings, 
and in the convergence of the vermilion streaks in the 
direction of the costal, instead of the dorsal, margin.

Notwithstanding the strong superficial resemblance of 
this insect to many species of Psecadia, the form of its 
palpi at once distinguishes it from that genus. The 
ereater length of the proboscis is the only character 
about the head which might perhaps be held to distin- 
euish it from the genus Gicophora, in which I place it, at 
least provisionally. It is very nearly allied to, and 
evidently congeneric with, Gcophora picarella, Walk., 
a New Zealand species. The following description is, 
perhaps, scarcely necessary, since it is easily to be 
recognised by the excellent figure in pl. exxxix. of Felder 
and Rogenhofer’s ‘ Reise der Fregatte Novara.’ 
There are three specimens in Mr. Gooch’s collection, 
taken at light at Spring Vale in August. I have also 
received it from Mr. Druce, who obtained it from 
Bedford, South Africa. 
Head white; palpi recurved, overarching the vertex, 
white; the second joint with a black ring at the base, 
and another at the apex; third joint with a black ring 
about the middle, and another at the apex. Antenne 
fuscous, with a black spot on the white basal joint. 
Tongue very long, scaled at the base. Thorax and fore 
wings white; the thorax with four black spots, one in 
front, one on the middle, and one on each side; the fore 
wings with the extreme edge of the costa black to the
