Struthisca omichlodes, sp. n. 



(^ $ . 15-20 mm. Head and thorax fuscous, face sometimes 

 paler and Avhitish-tinged. Palpi very short, fuscous. Antennee 

 grey, pectinations in S 2^. Abdomen light greyish, rather hairy 

 posteriorly, apex in § whitish-ochreous. Fore wings elongate,, 

 rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, ter-men very 

 obliquely rounded ; 7 absent ; light grey, very indistinctly strigu- 

 lated with darker : cilia light grey. Hind wings thinly scaled,, 

 light grey ; cilia whitish-grey. 



Transvaal, Pretoria, in August and September (Janse) ; three 

 specimens. 



In my original characteidsation of this genus the absent vein of 

 fore wings is stated to be 9 ; I am now of opinion that it is really 

 7 which is missing normally ; in S. honnotris, described below,

 the true homology. 



Struthisca areata, sp. n. 



c? . 17-19 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-fuscous. Palpi 

 very short, fuscous. Antennae fuscous, pectinations 4. Abdomen

 rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen rounded, 

 rather strongly oblique ; 7 absent ; light brownish-ochreous : cilia 

 concolorous. Hind wings and cilia very pale ochreous-grey.
