wings much elongated, fully four times as long as wide, 

 pale whitish drab, with a series of small cinereous mar- 

 ginal spots, of which six are costal, being placed gradually 

 closer to each other as they approach the apex, and 

 seven or eight others are on the apical margins reaching 

 round to the anal angle ; a spot of a similar colour lies 

 at the end of the disc, and several smaller cinereous dots 

 and scales are scattered more or less conspicuously 

 over the surface of the wing; hind wings scarcely 

 shining, very pale cinereous. Expanse, 19 mm.

Mr. Gooch's collection contains six specimens of this 

 species. I have also a specimen in my own cabinet from 

 Bedford, S. Africa, for which I am indebted to the kind- 

 ness of Mr. Herbert Druce. 



The base of the costal margin of the fore wings is

 following species. 



These came to light at Spring Vale in November and 

 December.
