Equatorial African Micro-lepidoptera. 47 



followed by an orange-ochreous space, also semicircular, but not 

 attaining the margins, the apical space being dark olive- 

 ijrey ; cilia olive-grey, with an ochreous line along their base : 



9 with the orange-ochreous much less distinct than in the <$ > 

 although the same pattern can be traced. Exp. aZ., 17-18 mm. 



//hidwings brown, cilia greyish. Abdomen brown. Legs pale 

 cinereous.

This African form differs from any of the Asiatic or 

 Malayan group, so far as known to me, in that vein 8, 

 forming the upper branch of 7 and 8 stalked, terminates 

 at the apex instead of below it. In the palpi of the J it 

 approaches Jobula semilinea, Wkr., more nearly than the 

 ordinary forms known under the name of Tortricomorpha, 

 but the palpi of the $ differ scarcely at all from those of 

 both sexes of the latter enus. 





EREMOTHYRIS, gen. n. 



(e>f//xos = destitute of, Oupts = a window.) 

 TYPE. $ $ . Eremothyris hollandi, Wlsm. 



.{ntcnnce, two-thirds length of forewings, basal joint enlarged, 

 flattened, in biciliate (1). Labial palpi short, somewhat recurved, 

 moderately slender, smooth, apical joint not longer than second. 

 M! Hilary palpi and ocelli absent. Haustellum naked. Head moder- 

 ately clothed, not roughened above. Thorax smooth. Forewings 

 ovate, somewhat widened outwards. Neuratlon, 12 veins : 2 and 3 

 from a short slightly recurved common stem at lower angle of cell, 

 ths others separate; 4 from near origin of 2 + 3 ; 5 further removed 

 at the base from 4 than from 6 ; 6 and 7 approximated, 7 to below 

 ; 8 and approximated, but parallel, 8 to costa ; 9 and 10 

 from upper angles of a small supplementary cell, formed by an 

 internal vein running from between 7 and 8 to about midway be- 

 tween 10 and 11 ; two internal veins, the upper from between 6 

 and 7, and the lower from immediately above 5, unite at about 

 half the length of the cell, and form a common stem, which is con- 

 tinued nearly to the base, where it runs into the radius. Ilind- 

 irings slightly broader than the forewings, subovate, the margin 

 evenly rounded, the part occupied by the branches of vein 1
