Tineida, and Pterophorida of South Africa. 269 



wings (with the costa considerably arched, the apical 

 margin oblique) whitish, longitudinally streaked with 

 pale fawn-colour, which fills all the interspaces between 

 the veins, leaving these conspicuously distinguished by 

 the whitish ground colour. Along the basal half of the 

 costal margin is a conspicuous whitish streak, narrow at 

 the base, broader towards its middle, and gradually 

 attenuated towards the middle of the costa, dying out a 

 little beyond it. At the extreme base of the costa are a 

 few brownish scales. There are two small brownish 

 fuscous discal spots, the lesser before, the greater 

 beyond, the middle ; a series of three or four subobsolete 

 spots of the same colour are distinguishable along the 

 apical margin in good specimens. Cilia whitish, mixed 

 with pale fawn-colour. Hind wings very pale cinereous 

 fawn-colour. Legs roughly hairy, as in Topeutis 

 barbella, Fab., with which it appears to agree also in 

 neuration. Expanse, 19 mm. 



One male from Bedford, South Africa. 



I am indebted to Mr. H. Druce for this interesting 

 addition to my collection ; I have ventured to name it 

 in his honour. There are also two specimens of this 

 species in Mr. Gooch's collection, taken at light in 

 October and November at Spring Vale.
