African Micro-Lepidoptem. Ill 



is a reduplicated brown spot, the upper portion of which is almost 

 round; the lower portion is triangular, with the apex pointing out- 

 wards ; at the lower angle on the fold is a roundish spot of a darker 

 brown ; at the end of the cell is an obliquely-placed linear spot of 

 dark brown scales ; five small spots of the same colour are at the 

 extreme edge along the apical margin, with three similar spots 

 above the apex, between it and the costal projection; two similar 

 spots also occur on the dorsal margin ; cilia very pale greyish 

 brown. Under side unicolorous pale brownish grey. Hind wings 

 wider than the fore wings, the outer margin scarcely concave below 

 the apex ; pale greyish brown, with scarcely paler cilia. Under 

 side unicolcrous pale brownish grey. A bdomen pale greyish brown, 

 inclining to ochreous posteriorly. Legs pale greyish ochreous.

The form of the palpi of this species is somewhat 

 peculiar ; the second joint throws out a brush of hair- 

 like scales on its upper side, with a few on its under side 

 towards the apex ; thus the joint itself passes through 

 the brush, and gives off the apical joint at its apex, 

 whereas in Nothris and Ypsolophus it is tufted beneath, 

 and the apical joint is given off from the base of the tuft. 

 The neuration agrees with that of Ypsolophus, but the 

 excavated costal margin distinguishes it in appearance, 

 and the peculiar palpi seem to justify its reception in 

 the genus Anorthosia, Clem., which also possesses a 

 slight depression on the costal margin.

Antennce annulated with hoary and fuscous. Palpi w r ith a long 

 triangular tuft projecting beneath the second joint; fuscous on the 

 basal half, hoary beyond, each section clearly denned ; apical joint 

 smooth, hoary, a ring near the base, and the whole outer half 

 above fuscous, a pale spot on the outer half beneath. Head and 

 Thorax hoary. Fore wings hoary ; with a large triangular fuscous 

 dorsal patch, sprinkled with hoary scales, extending beyond the 

 middle of the dorsal margin, obtusely terminated below the costa ; 

 above its apex is a small, and beyond it a larger elongate costal 

 spot of the same colour, both tending obliquely outwards; the
