X. Description of a new Genus and Species of Tineina (Lep.) 
Jrom Southern Nigeria. By J. HARTLEY DuRRANT. 
HYPONOMEUTIDAE. 
Mynemosrs, gen. n. (Drnt.). 
(uvyjua = a memorial; o7j¢ = a moth). 
Type: Mnemoses farquharsoni Drnt. 
Antennae 2/3, uniserrate, the serrations ciliate; basal joint 
elongate, somewhat enlarged, with pecten of long hair-scalcs. 
Labial Palpi moderate, subascending, loosely scaled, terminal joint 
shorter than median. Mazillary Palpi short. Haustellum moderate, 
scaled. Ocelli obsolete. Head loosely hair-scaled. Thorax smooth. 
Forewings elongate-ovate; neuration 12 veins; 1 furcate at base; 
3 from angle, 3-5 approximate, 4 slightly nearer to 3 than to 5; 
7-8 closely approximate at base, 7 to below apex; 9-10 stalked; 
11 from areole, at slightly beyond half its length; a subcostal 
stigma above 12. Hindwings almost 1, subovate, evenly rounded 
from apex; neuration 8 veins; 3-4 connate, or from short stem; 
4-7 nearly parallel, 5 nearer to 6 than to 4; discoidal obliquely 
receding from 3 to 7; 12 not connected to radius; 1° furcate 
at base. Abdomen rather long, somewhat flattened. Legs: hind 
tibiae with long hair-scales. 
Apparently most closely allied to Hremothyris Wlsm. 
and Anticrates Meyr., but differing from both in FW. 11 
arising from the areole, and in the clothed hind tibiae. 
Mnemoses farquharsoni, sp. n. (Drnt.). 
Antennae yellowish, basal joint white. Palpi, Head and Thorax 
shining white. Forewings chalk-white, with pale leaden grey 
markings: a large cordate grey patch occupies the apical third and 
is connected narrowly along the termen to a tornal patch expanding 
above the dorsum to almost half its length; above this, narrowly 
separated from the apical patch, is an ovate patch of the same 
colour, and along the costa, above and towards the base is a grey 
irroration, below which, on the fold, in the basal third, is a subovate 
grey patch; cilia shining white; underside pale leaden grey, the 
margins and cilia white. Hap. al. g 18-21 mm. 9. Hindwings 
pale leaden grey; cilia shining white. Abdomen shining white. 
Legs shining whitish; hind tarsi leaden grey.
