A common Indian species, pi'obiibly imported into Africa with 

 its food-plant {Crotalaria). African specimens show some indi- 

 vidual variation, and the hind wings are generally rather lighter, 

 but I can find no reliable distinction. In India there are several 

 very closely allied species. 



TORTRICID^. 



Cacoecia hedrastis, sp. n. 



(S . 12-13 mm. Head whitish-ochreous. Palpi moderately 

 long, whitish-ochreous irrorated with dark fuscous. Thorax

Transvaal, Pretoria district, from January to Mai-ch {Janse) ;

ToRTRix cedrota, sp. n, 



(S . 12 mm. Head and thorax pale yellowish-ochreous. Palpi 

 moderate, porrected, ochreous-yellowish, basal half of second joint 

 iri'orated with blackish. Abdomeii grey, anal tuft pale yellowish. 

 Fore wings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa gently arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen obliquely i^ounded ; glossy whitish-ochreous ; basal 

 patch sufiused with ochreous-yellowish, costal edge and dorsal half

 yellow sti'iga sprinkled with blackish ; some yellowish strigulse 

 irrorated with blackish along termen : cilia whitish-yellowish. 

 Hind wings grey ; cilia yellowish-grey- whitish, with a grey line. 



Transvaal, Pretoria, in March (Janse) ; one specimen. 



TORTRIX AFRICANA Wals, 



{Conchylis africana "Wals. Trans. Ent, Soc. Lond. 1881, 227,

This species, which I have from the Transvaal and ISTatal, I
