Genera and Species of the family Pyralidae. 3 



palpi nearly three times the head, antennae shortly 

 cihated. 



This species is certainly close to sjostedti Aur., as was 

 suggested to me by Mr. Tarns, but it differs from it in 

 vein 11 anastomosing with 12, and veins 4, 5 being stalked, 

 while the palpi are longer; the wing marking is almost 

 identical, but sjostedti is somewhat bigger (27-29 mm.). 

 It is also closS to chalcimerus Hmpsn., from which it differs 

 in the stalking of veins 4, 5 of fore- wing, the absence of 

 the narrow white line under the fascia and the difference 

 of the white fascia itself. In the hind-wing the stalk of 

 4, 5 is frd of 4, in some specimens shorter or the veins 

 are only approximated to each other. 



It comes in Hampson's part b of Section III, if the 

 male antennae prove to be simple and not pectinated, 

 which I have little doubt they will prove to be. 



Crambus uniformella, sp. n. 



Female. Vertex of head, palpi above, on inner- and under-side 

 and hind- wing pure white ; sides of head behind the eyes, thorax and 

 abdomen above and on underside, legs, and fore- wing on upper- 

 side tilleul-buflf (xl); fore- wing in one specimen (from Pretoria) 

 pale cinnamon-pink (xxix); fore- wing with a very fine irregular 

 thm sprinkling of black scales, most dense where medial, post- 

 medial and subterminal lines would have been ; a small black ter- 

 minal spot between the veins from apex to below vein 2; cilia 

 concolorous. Hind-wing white; cilia white with a faint line at 

 one-third owing to short scales densely placed at base of the more 

 hair-like cilia. 



Underside : — fore- wing tinged with avellaneous (xl), excejjt at 

 disca,l and terminal area; some black terminal points as above 

 but smaller; cilia tipped with avellaneous; hind-wing white with 

 costal area suffused with avellaneous; cilia as above; fore-legs 

 suffused with drab (xlvi). 



Exi3. Type 28 mm. ; co-types 22-28 mm. 



Hab. Female type, Waterval Onder, 18. xi. 1920 ; three 

 female co-types from same locality, 23. xi. 1910, Middel- 

 burg town (Transvaal), Dec. 1905, Pretoria, 11. xi. 1908; 

 and one damaged specimen from Eietfontein (Pretoria 

 distr.), 11. xi. 1904. Only females are known to me. 



Palpi over two times the head ; fore-wing narrow, costa 

 well arched, termen oblique and round from vein 5 to 

 tornus, vfhich is well rounded; inner margin gently
