Antenna dark fuscous. 



Palpi brownish ochreous. 



Head ochreous. 



Thorax dull white, with some blackish scales at the base and 

 apex of the tegulse, and a few before its junction with the 

 abdomen . 



Fore wings dull white, with soot-black spots which tend to 

 form irregular fasciae ; at one third from the base a redupli- 

 cated fascia of black spots arises from the costa and, inclining 

 obliquely outwards to the outer edge of the cell, is angulated 

 downward to the dorsal margin ; the costa is spotted with black 

 from the base to the origin of these fasciae, and near the base 

 of the wing is another outwardly angulated fascia of spots ; the 

 apical third of the wing is irrorated with black spots, which, 

 however, also arrange themselves in fasciaform lines; cilia dull 

 white, with some fuscous scales intermixed. The markings can 

 be distinctly traced on the underside. 



Hind wings pale greyish ochreous, with cilia of the same 

 colour.

Tinea, sp. 



Transvaal : Pretoria (Distant). 



A single specimen without abdomen is in poor condition. 

 It is smaller than any specimen of vastella that I have yet seen ; 

 but if not that species it is, at least, so closely allied to it that 

 a comparative description would be useless. The head is bright
