Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus (in type species) quite moderate, almost alike in both 
sexes, second joint shortly scaled, third joint smooth, small. Tongue present. Antenna moderate, in 
both sexes evenly ciliated (very shortly in Q). only in fAvenicosticta shortly bipectinate. Pectus slightly 
hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in gf not dilated, in both sexes with terminal spurs only. Abdomen 
not crested. Frenulum in cj short and very slender, from before basal expansion; in Q wanting. Fore- 
wing with costa arched towards apex, apex moderate, termen smooth, nearly straight, very oblique, 
cell not quite one-half, DC incurved, SC! from cell (stalked in atridisca), free or anastomosing with C, 
SC? normal, R! short-stalked, R? from much above middle of DC, M! connate or short-stalked ; hind- 
wing with apex and termen rounded, tornus moderate, inner margin rather long, cell short, DC? oblique, 
C usually anastomosing with cell at a point, rapidly diverging, SC* longish-stalked, R? characteristic, 
M! longish-stalked. 
Early stages unknown.

1) This synonymy ist not absolutely certain, as we have seen only a few poor specimens, and only the & of /odisa£a, Q of ulvereisgarsa. In any 
case the two must be very close allies. 
2) Differs in shape and aspect, in more minute palpus and in dentate-fasciculate c? antenna, but may be provisionally referred here. Differs 
from Mixocera in presence of c frenulum. 
3) Neromia (?) rubripunctilla, nov. sp. — O,24 mm. Face ochreous reddish. Palpus quite short, appressed to face, ochreous reddish 
above, paler beneath. Antenna rather thick, tapering, not ciliated, reddish ochreous, proximal part white above. Vertex white, occiput green. Thorax 
and abdomen green above, whitish beneath, abdomen with a thick ochreous dorsal line; anal tuft strong, whitish. Wings green, slightly bluish, irrorated 
and minutely strigulated with white, Forewing with costa narrowly ochreous; discal dot minute, red; lines in the type obsolete, merely the faintest sug- 
gestion of a postmedian from about two-thirds of inner margin, losing itself in middle of wing: fringe ochreous, narrowly green proximally, inner-marginal 
fringe mostly green. Hindwing with termen rounded, inner margin not very long ; a discal dot as in forewing, but slightly less distinct; fringe as in fore- 
wing. Underside whitish green, unmarked, fringes 6nged with ochreous, costa of forewing ochreous. Pretoria, 1 ransvaal, x4th September, 1906, very fresh 
(A. J. T. Janse). Type in coll. Brit. Mus, Aberrantin the minute palpus ;scarcely as long as diameter of eye), non-ciliate antenna, presence of hair- 
pencil on hindtibia and in the course of C of hindwing, which does not diverge from quite so near base: but agreeing better with this genus than with any 
other known. Forewing with SC! free, R! short-stalked. A second C, Three Sisters, Transvaa!, 9 March, 1911, 5n coll. A. J. T. Janse, bas both trans- 
verse lines on forewing and a postmedian on hindwing, though all rather indistinct; artemedian of forewing from before one-third, curved, postmedian 
from beyond two-thirds, almost parallel with termen, postmedian of hindwing almost parallel with termen. Two Q Q in coll. Brit. Mus., no doubt con- 
specific, are much larger (30 mm.), the lines distinct. They have termiral spurs only. One is from Mashonaland (H. B. Dobbie), the other from Bnla- 
wayo, Rhodesia, January, 1903 (F. Eyles).
