which makes them appear to consist of three spines of 
gradually increasing length and divergence. 
This species can scarcely be considered a true 
Oxyptilus. The peculiarity of the palpi alone separates 
it from that section of the genus Aciptilus, which has 
been held to include A. paludum, Zell., and A. siceliota, 
Zell., to which it appears to be allied.

The typical specimen is in bad condition, but seems 
to belong to the genus (idematophorus by reason of its 
structure.

Caffraria. 
There is a single specimen in bad condition of another 
species of Mimeseoptilus in Mr. Gooch’s collection, taken 
among grass in the market square at D’Urban in July. 
The wings appear to be almost unicolorous pale greyish 
brown ; the head, thorax, antenne, and the tufts of the 
palpi more decidedly grey. There is a fuscous discal 
spot before the middle, and a faint anti-fissural dot of 
the same colour. It is a much smaller species than 
Mimeseoptilus sabius, F. & R. Expanse, 18 mm.

Taoptilus bonespei, n.s. (Pl. XIII., fig. 46). 
Alis anticis dilute stramineis, cervino precipue ultra 
medium adumbratis, dimidio costali lacinie posterioris 
dilute stramineo. Ciliis omnibus cervinis. Posticis 
nitide cervinis, ciliis ante medium digiti posterioris 
fumido substriatis. 
Palpi slender, projecting nearly the length of the head 
beyond it. Antenne tinged with fawn-colour. Fore 
wings cleft to one-third of their length, straw-coloured, 
shaded with fawn-brown over more than the costal half 
of the wing, except towards the base, where only the 
costa is shaded. ‘The pale straw-colour extends from the
