   specimen

  This 
  widely-distributed 
  species 
  is 
  apparently 
  new 
  to 
  

   the 
  African 
  fauna, 
  but 
  this 
  and 
  longella 
  are 
  probably 
  

   only 
  varieties 
  of 
  one 
  species.

  Nemophora

  I 
  notice 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  differs 
  slightly 
  in 
  neuration 
  

  

  from 
  the 
  European 
  forms 
  of 
  Nemophora 
  ; 
  veins 
  5 
  and 
  6 
  

  

  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  are 
  separate, 
  and 
  the 
  cell 
  is 
  somewhat 
  

  

  longer.

  syn. 
  = 
  Agisana, 
  Mschl. 
  (1883). 
  

   This 
  genus 
  is 
  distinguished 
  from 
  Nemophora 
  by 
  its 
  

   shorter 
  maxillary 
  palpi, 
  and 
  by 
  having 
  veins 
  8 
  and 
  9 
  of 
  

   the 
  fore 
  wings 
  and 
  5 
  and 
  6 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  separate 
  : 
  

   it 
  is 
  undoubtedly 
  allied 
  to 
  Nemophora.
