resemblance to G. pardipennaria, but there are no black spots on 

 tbe wings. 



Fam. EISTNOMID^E. 



The section of Azelina here described includes A. variaria and 

 A. honestaria. 



Fam. (ENOCHROMID^. 



Norsia has some affinity to Auxima ; and these two genera 

 hardly belong to the (Enochromidse, for they are very different in 

 structure from the Australian groups of that family. 



Fam. BOAEMIDJE. '' 



JBoarmia demissa/ria is described in the Catalogue of Lepidop- 

 tera Heterocera, xxi. 357 ; but the specimen there mentioned was 

 injured, and the description is consequently incomplete. 



Fam. ACIDALID^. 



The genus Acidalia is exceedingly numerous in species, and in- 

 habits all parts of the world. A. fulvicosta is very distinct from 

 all the other South- American species. 



Fam. MICEONID^. 



The genus Micronia extends from West Africa through Hin- 

 dostan, Ceylon, and China to Australasia and Australia ; it has 

 no known representative in South Africa. M. metargyria is the 

 only American species yet known, and is most allied to the "West- 

 African JSI. erycinaria ; it has also some affinity to Ileleaba tJie- 

 claria, the type of a neighbouring South- American genus. 



Fam. FIDONID^. 



The structure of the palpi and of the antennae will distinguish 

 the genus Issa from Pachydia, to which it has some resemblance. 



Fam. EMPLOCID^. 



Tora, the new genus here described, is quite different from 

 Emplocia in the structure of the wings.
