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



at ui^per and lower angle of cell, on iipper angle often obsolete; 

 in some specimens a fuscous-black scaling suggesting postmedial 

 line; small fuscous-black spots between the veins at termen; cilia 

 of ground-colour, with a diffused line at middle. Hind- wing white, 

 with a terminal fuscous edging; cilia of ground-colour except the 

 base, while the inner- marginal cilia have a yellowish tinge ; a faint 

 transverse line across them from costa to beyond tornus. 



Underside : — ground-colour of both wings pale smoke grey; fore- 

 wing very densely irrorated with fuscous-black, especially along 

 costa; hind- -wing slightly irrorated with fuscous; cilia darker than 

 on upperside. 



Female like male, but antennae simple. 



Exp. Male type 17 mm. ; female type 16 mm. ; male co-types 

 14-20 mm. 



Hab. Male type, Sarnia, Feb. 1910; female type, 

 Sarnia, Feb. 1913. Male co-types from Sarnia in Jan., 

 Feb., Verulam, Dec, Eshowe, Jan., New Hanover, Oct. ; 

 in all nine specimens. 



Palpi in male obliquely ascending, second joint with 

 ratlier long hairs and scales on innerside; antennae with 

 lamina as long as thickness of shaft and ciliated ; in female 

 antennae simple; frons with a tuft of scales. In one 

 specimen vein 10 is absent in both fore-wings. Hind- 

 wing with 3, 5 on a long stalk of over half to three-fourth 

 of veins. 



This species comes in Section II of Hampson, after 

 group A, from which it differs in the antennae having no 

 sinus at base. 



Saluria albicostella, sp. n. 



Male. Head, thorax and fore-wing on upperside jasper red 

 (xiii) ; palpi whitish, tinged on innerside with jasper red and at tip 

 with fuscous; shaft of antennae at base jasper red; fore- wing 

 whitish but very densely and uniformly irrorated with jasper red, 

 except on lower median, part of veins 2 to 5, the whole of 16 and a 

 costal fascia above upper median from base to apex; this fascia is 

 more pure white and only on basal two- thirds partly and slightly 

 irrorated with geranium pink (i) ; a somewhat dark suffusion against 

 lower part of white fascia; cilia rose dor6e (i); hind- wing whitish^ 

 with a darker tinge towards apex and along termen; cilia white, 

 with a faint line across at one-third ; abdomen whitish, pei'haps 

 yellow, but I think that this yellow colour is due to greasincss. 



Underside : — both wings light pinkish- cinnamon (xxix), darkest
