233. MiCROCOSsrs BETTONI, sp. n. 



Nearest to J7. macJcwoodi: sordid sericeous white: primaries 

 transversely reticulated with brown lines, some of which are dotted 

 with black scales; the reticulated lines are coarser on costal 

 border, especially towards the base and the apex, and form the 

 boundaries of slightly brownish quadrate spots, the best deiined 

 of these spots is placed on the costa just above the end of the 

 cell; antenna) bronze-brown, sericeous, with dull testaceous pectin- 

 ations in the male: under surface brownish; primaries with ill- 

 defined darker brown patches. Expanse of wings ~~> to 30 millim. 



d 1 $ , Samburu, 31st October, 1S90. 



Only one pair of this obscure little moth was obtained, un- 

 fortunately not in perfect condition. 



234. A Micro-Lepidopterou of doubt fid genus. 

 Tarn, lOtli December, 1806 ; Yoi, 2nd May, 1897. 

 A very beautiful little moth quite new to the Mu 



primaries blue-green and glistening, the secondaries 

 purple; anterior half of body black, posterior half golden oclireous. 

 Not having paid much attention to the Tin<-t</tt ] will not pretend 

 to decide where this insect should be placed : it has antenna 1 

 which remind one of tvpical Zt/yamultt', and, so far as I remember, 

 are only approached by Kxodomorplta or Krctiiiocera. 



The following new genus, structurally, should he an 

 and must therefore be placed in the Airtii't"', but it- 

 more nearly the aspect of a Noctnid of the WHSIH gron 

 g<MHM'a : it reminds one a little of Culitsfa and (in ^tvle of c 

 atiou) of Rhijncldiia,
