Tineide, and Pterophoride of South Africa. 285 
rather wide pale greyish fuscous shade beyond the 
middle, a slender line of the same colour beyond it, 
followed by a wider one near the margin just before the 
points of the lobes, each of which bears a small pale 
ereyish fuscous dot. Expanse, 23 mm. 
One specimen received from the late Colonel Harvey 
Tower from South Africa, probably Zululand. A large 
and conspicuous species, having the wings less deeply 
cleft than in the European forms of this group; the 
palpi are also very conspicuously longer and more thickly 
clothed. This species should probably be made the type 
of a new genus. 
The discovery of allied or intermediate forms may at 
some future time render it necessary to distinguish them 
from the original genus Alucita. 
Alucita ferrugineda, 0. 8. 
Two specimens of a new species of Alucita in Mr. 
Gooch’s collection are not in sufficiently good condition 
to be minutely described, but their colour is very 
different from that of any known species with which 
Iam acquainted. The ground colour of all the wings 
appears to be yellowish white, and the markings, which 
are distributed transversely across the wings, as is usual 
in this genus, are shining pale yellowish ferruginous. 
Expanse, 14 mm. 
Alucita capensis ? F. & R., Reise d. Noy., pl. exl., fig. 63. 
Mr. Gooch’s collection contains two specimens, pro- 
bably referable to this species, but the scarcely satis- 
factory figure given by Felder and Rogenhofer is accom- 
panied by no description, and by no further assistance to ~ 
its future recognition than the one remark, ‘‘ Accedens ad 
cymatodactylum ?”’ 
They appear to be allied to Alucita grammodactyla, 
Zell., but, like most of the Pterophoride in this collection, 
they are in very imperfect condition.
