LITHOCOLLETIS, Zeller. 

 Lithocolletis zulella, n. s. (PL XIII., fig. 44). 



Capite palpis et antennis albis. Alis anticis cervinis 

 puncto apicali nigro. Strigis dorsalibus duabus albis 

 prima a basi secunda a medio, strigulis costalibus 

 brevioribus albis ultra medium concurrentibus. Posticis 

 cinereis. 



Head, antennae, and palpi white ; thorax white, with 

 a fawn-brown streak down the middle. Fore wings 

 fawn-brown, with two dorsal and two smaller costal 

 streaks ; the first dorsal streak, starting from the base, 

 joins the first costal streak, starting beyond the middle, 

 at an acute angle on the costal half of the wing; the 

 second dorsal streak, starting from the middle of the 

 dorsal margin, joins the second costal streak, starting on 

 the apical fourth of the wing (also at an acute angle) 

 immediately before the apex, on which is a black spot ; 

 a few blackish scales are to be found between the costal 

 streaks, also on the outer edge of the first and inner edge 

 of the second dorsal streaks. Hind wings and cilia 

 cinereous. Expanse, 11 mm. 



One in Mr. Gooch's collection. 



PTEKOPHOEDXE. 



AGDISTES, Hiibner. 



^ Agdistes pustulalis, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxx., 



pp. 927, 928. 



This species is represented in the Gooch collection by 

 a single specimen. 



It is probably very Nearly allied to Agdistes heydenii, 

 Zeller, having an indication of the fuscous dots and 

 cuneiform shade which distinguish that species. I 

 have seen no specimens in a condition which would 

 warrant a re-description. 



AMBLYPTILUS, Hiibner. 



AmUyptilus cosmodactylus, Hub., Wocke Cat., No. 3131. 

 ? Pterophorusacanthodactyliis, Zell., Handlingar Kong. 



Svensk. Vetens. Akad., 1852, p. 117. 

 Oxyptilus direptalis, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxx., 



p. 934. 



This is most probably the species recorded by Professor 

 Zeller from South Africa as Amblyptilu* acanthodactylu*.
