I have followed, both in genera and species, the synthetic 

 arrangement of Sir Greorge Hampson, to wiiom I am indebted 

 for much assistance in the preparation of tliis paper. 

 Dr. Aurivillius has also kindly compared most of the species 

 I have here described as new with Wallengren's types of 

 South-African moths in the Stockholm Museum. Those he 

 described from the Transvaal, as I have already stated {ante^ 

 p. 47, note), are somewhat unavailable, there being no ento- 

 mologist in charge at the museum in which they are 

 deposited.
