Genera and Species of the family Pyralidae. 13 



Exp. Female type 21 mm.; co-types 18-5-21 mm.; male (?) 

 18-5 mm. 



Hah. All specimens from Pretoria. Female type in 

 7. V. 1910; co-types in May 1910, Oct. 1909, July 1906; 

 thirteen specimens in all. Male ( ?) from Pretoria in April

Hypsotropa roseotincta, sp. n. 



Male. Ground-colour of head, thorax and fore-wing apricot 

 yellow (iv) ; palpi at sides and shaft of antennae maize yellow (iv) 

 tinged with pinkish- buff (xxix); abdomen maize yellow; legs 

 maize yellow and densely uTorated with carrot red (xiv) ; fore- 

 wing has costal area tinged with orange buff (iii) and is above 

 vein 1 1 densely krorated with carrot red as far as apex ; a similar, 

 but less dense, irroration below lower median till near inner margin 

 where it becomes gradually less dense, except near tornus; a 

 carrot-red rounded spot at end of cell, with some fuscous scales 

 in it ; postmedial line produced by a rather broad carrot-red irrora- 

 tion, best defined inwardly, oblique from near apex and parallel 

 to termen to above submedian fold, where it becomes curved 

 inwardly and joins the inner- marginal irroration, then forming a 

 curve outwardly and ending at inner margin at two-thirds ; a 

 terminal carrot- red irroration more or less interrupted at the veins. 

 (In some specimens the carrot-red irroration is reduced and even 

 almost absent at inner- marginal area and the macula at end of 

 cell, the postmedial line from vein 6 to inner margin and the indica- 

 tion of an antemedial line from lower median to inner margin 

 consists of a fuscous irroration.) Cilia of ground-colour with a 

 darker subbasal line. Hind- wing white, with a tinge of pale smoke 

 grey along costal and apical area; cilia white, with a pale smoke- 

 gi'ey subbasal Ime. 



Underside: — Both wings whitish; fore- wing irrorated rather 

 densely with drab (xlvi); hind- wing slightly irrorated with drab 

 along the costa only. 



Exp. Male type 19 mm. ; male co-types 14-16 mm. 



Hah. Male type from Pretoria, 4. iii. 1910 ; co-types 

 from Waterval (Zoutpansberg distr.), 6. xii. 1899; Bar- 

 berton, Dec. and Jan. 1910, 1911; in all six specimens. 



The antennae are lamellated and with moderate cilia 

 and may thus have to be placed in Hampson's Heosphora- 

 group.
