I. Some apparently new South African Genera and Species 

 of the family Pyralidae. By A. J, T. Janse, 



[Read October 5th, 1921.] 



The species which I here describe were sent some time 

 ago to the British Museum for identification, as Sir G. F. 

 Hampson was then working at certain groups of the 

 Pyrahdae. 



Owing to lack of time Sir George asked me to describe 

 those that were new, supplying me at the same time with 

 some valuable information as to the generic position of 

 many of the species. I am very much obliged to Sir 

 George and his successor, Mr. W. H. T. Tarns, for the 

 kind assistance given in this matter, which must have 

 avoided the making of many synonyms. 



In all cases co-types have been presented, when avail- 

 able, to the British Museum, and where many specimens 

 were on hand more than one was sent to this institution. 



Unless stated otherwise, the types and co-types are in 

 my own collection and all the material was collected by 

 me, unless the name of the collector has been specially 

 given. 



In describing the colours, Ridgeway's colour charts are 

 used, and the figures in brackets indicate the plate on 

 which the colour is to be found.
