edge irrorated with dark fuscous on apical half. Thorax fuscous, sometimes 
tinged with whitish-ochreous dorsally. Abdomen fuscous, two basal segments 
pale ochreous, anal tuft whitish. Forewings elongate-lanceolate, apex rather 
produced, acute; 6 separate; dark fuscous finely irrorated with whitish; 
stigmata blackish, discal approximated, plical obliquely before first discal : 
cilia pale greyish-ochreous, towards base irrorated with dark fuscous, with 
median line of black points. Hindwings i, apex very long-produced; light 
bluish-grey; cilia pale greyish-ochreous. 
Transvaal, Pretoria, in February and March (Janse); three specimens. 
Allied to cirrhocoma. 
Anacampsis exsulata n.sp. 
12 mm. Head ochreous-white. Palpi white, second joint black except 
apex, terminal joint with a fine black line on each side except towards base. 
Thorax blackish, with large ochreous-whitish posterior spot. Abdomen grey. 
Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex pointed, termen 
sinuate, oblique; 6 separate; blackish; a moderately broad irregular-edged 
ochreous-whitish dorsal streak from base to tornus, its upper edge rather 
triangular-prominent at middle and f of length; a short oblique ochreous- 
white streak from costa at £ ; a triangular clear white spot occupying lower § 
of termen : cilia light grey irrorated with whitish, on costa dark grey with a 
basal line of white irroration becoming a subbasal white line on upper part of 
termen. Hindwings i, termen sinuate, apex pointed; grey; cilia light grey. 
Zululand, Eshowe, in January (Janse); one specimen. This very inter- 
esting insect is of South American type, quite unlike any Anacampsis from 
other regions ; the genus is very largely developed in South America. 
Acompsia eodryas n.sp. 
$ $ n-i2mm. Head whitish-ochreous. Palpi ochreous-whitish, second 
and terminal joints each with two bands of dark fuscous irroration. Thorax 
whitish-ochreous, patagia partially or almost wholly brown. Abdomen grey- 
whitish. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa slightly arched, apex pointed, 
termen extremely obliquely rounded; pale ochreous-yellowish, dorsal area 
variably tinged or mixed with brown; a narrow rosy-brown fascia from base 
of costa to dorsum before middle, marked with black on fold ; a similar fascia 
from £ of costa to dorsum before tornus, thence angulated upwards to costa 
before apex; the costal space enclosed by this forms a rosy-brown triangular 
blotch separated from it by a slender streak of ground-colour sometimes 
interrupted at its apex; stigmata black, on margin of angulated fascia, plical 
somewhat before first discal, second discal sometimes absent, a black mark 
also on dorsal angle of fascia ; costal edge of these markings more or less tinged 
with blackish ; an irregular line of black and rosy-brown scales along termen : 
cilia pale grey with rows of whitish points, on termen tinged with rosy and 
mixed with black towards base. Hindwings bluish-grey, lighter anteriorly; 
cilia light grey. 
Zululand, Nkwaleni, in January; Transvaal, Pretoria, in April (Janse) ; 
three specimens. The single Pretoria specimen sent has terminal joint of 
palpi only £ of second (instead of f), suffused with blackish, but as it is entirely 
similar otherwise, I regard the structure as probably an individual abnormality 
or deformity. The name Acompsia Hiibn. is here employed for the genus to 
which in my Handbook of British Lepidoptera the name Recurvaria Haw. was 
wrongly applied.
