Equatorial African Micro-lepidoptera. 45 



This genus differs from Protasis, H.-S., inits neuration 

 and in the less acute forewings, but greatly resembles it 

 in the form of the palpi, and in general appearance.

 ginous internally and externally on the upper edge of the second

 extreme base and along the outer half of the costa, also at the 

 apex ; cilia pale straw-yellow, slightly tinged with ferruginous.

ETHMIA, Hb., 

 (n. syn. = PSECADIA, Hb.) 



Etlimia rhomboidella, sp. n. (PL III., fig. 15.) 



Antenncc stone-grey. Palpi ochreous, apical joint shaded with 

 grey. Head and face ochreous. Thorax mouse-grey, with five 

 black spots (two in front, one in the middle, and two smaller ones 

 behind it). Forewings slaty grey, cilia the same ; with six black 

 spots (two small ones beneath the costa on the basal fourth, two 

 larger ones on the disc, and two on the fold) ; of the discal 

 spots one lies at the end of the cell, the other at the middle of 

 the wing; the first of those on the fold is somewhat further 

 removed from the base than the second subcostal spot, the other 

 lies beyond and below the first discal spot, but nearer to it than 

 to the second ; thus these six spots form a series of three pairs, in 

 parallel lines whether counted as pairs or in series of three. 

 Exp. Z., 28 mm. Hindwings stone-grey, having a slight ochreous 

 tinge on the abdominal margin, cilia also inclining to ochreous, 

 except towards apex. [Abdomen missing.] Legs greyish 

 ochreous.
