4 Mr. A. J. T. Janse on new South African 



arched; 4, 5 connate at base for a short distance; 11 free 

 from 12, but somewhat curved towards it; hind- wing 

 large, costa almost straight, apex rounded, termen oblique 

 and well rounded, tornus well rounded; 2 from a little 

 beyond middle of lower median; 3 from before angle; 

 4, 5 shortly stalked and from angle; antennae with very 

 short ciha. 



This species is very much hke C. delatalis Wlk., but 

 differs from it in shape of fore-wing and less clearly de- 

 fined marking; in shape of wing it comes near C. ellipti- 

 cellus Hmpsn., but is easily separated from this by the 

 uniform colour of the fore- wing, 



Crambus reducta, sp. n. 



Female. White ; palpi at sides irrorated with fuscous ; fore-legs 

 tinged on outerside with hair- brown (xlvi) ; mid- legs tinged on outer- 

 side with avellaneous (xl) ; hind-legs tinged (like abdomen on under- 

 side) with tilleul-buflf (xl) ; base of patagia tinged with hair- brown ; 

 antennae shortly ciliated, white above and the remainder hair- 

 bi'own; fore- wing irrorated with hair- brown, more densely at 

 terminal half and inner- marginal area; a narrow dark line along 

 costa from base to one-third ; an ochraceous-buflf fascia above upper 

 median from base to one-third of wing; a similar but broader 

 fascia till middle of wing below lower median and defined on upper 

 edge by a black, sharply defined line which becomes diffused and 

 interrupted near vein 2 ; some more dense dark scaling at end of 

 cell; a series of diffused fuscous-black points on the vems, mixed 

 below vein 5 with some yellow scales, indicating the subterminal 

 line, from the costa at three-fourth, oblique to vein 6 and then sharplj'^ 

 bent and straight to inner margin before tornus (not parallel to 

 termen from vein 7 to inner margin, as in C. sectitermina) ; no irrora- 

 tion on veins at terminal area ; a series of terminal black points in 

 the veins ; cilia white, with two transverse hair-brown lines, first 

 line narrow and sharply defined, second more broad and diffused; 

 tips of cilia hair-broAvn. Hind- wing pure white, Avith a very faint 

 transverse line at one-third. 



Underside : — fore-wing almost evenly suffused with drab ; hind

Exp. Female type 22 mm. ; female co-type 20 mm. 



Hab. Type, Sawmills (S. Khodesia), 1. ii. 1918; co-type 

 (in rather rubbed condition) from Umvuma (S. Khodesia), 

 10. i. 1918 (Carnegie). 



Certainly closely allied to C. sectitermina Hmpsn., with
