Annals of the Transvaal Museum 15 
Transvaal, Pretoria, in September (Janse); one specimen. Nearly allied 
to illuminata, but distinguished by clear white head and suffusion of forewings. 
Photodotis spilodoma n.sp. 
$ 13 mm. Head whitish. Palpi whitish, second joint sprinkled with dark 
fuscous except at apex, terminal joint with subapical band of dark fuscous 
irroration. Antennae whitish ringed with dark fuscous, terminal § forming 
six dark fuscous bands separated by single whitish rings. Thorax whitish with 
a few dark fuscous scales. Abdomen ochreous-whitish sprinkled with fuscous. 
Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen ex- 
tremely obliquely rounded; 3 present; dark fuscous irrorated with whitish, 
dorsal area on anterior half of wing suffused with whitish-ochreous, anteriorly 
extending § across wing; a blotch of blackish irroration representing plical 
and first discal stigmata, and a small spot on costa above it; a small brownish 
spot on tornus, connected by a cloudy blackish dot surmounted by a similar 
ochreous dot with indistinct dark second discal stigma ; a small cloudy whitish 
spot on costa at f ; two short ochreous streaks above and two below apex, 
separated by blackish irroration : cilia greyish, sprinkled with whitish and 
with base whitish on termen, with two darker grey shades. Hindwings grey; 
cilia light grey, base ochreous-whitish. 
Zululand, Eshowe, in January (Janse) ; one specimen. Vein 3 of forewings 
is absent in type of genus, but this species is in all respects so closely allied that 
the discrepancy should evidently be disregarded. 
Pycnodytis n.g. 
Head with appressed 'scales; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae f, in $ simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi 
long, recurved, second joint thickened with dense scales rather loose beneath 
and triangularly expanded with hairs on apical half above, terminal joint 
shorter than second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, 
appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with rough hairs above. Fore- 
wings with 2-4 parallel, 6 and 7 out of 8, 7 to costa, n from middle. Hind- 
wings under 1, narrow- trapezoidal, apex strongly produced, acute, termen 
emarginate, cilia 2; 2-5 remote, parallel, 6 and 7 approximated towards base. 
Allied to Aristotelia, but palpi much as in Trichotaphe. 
Pycnodytis erebaula n.sp. 
$ 11-12 mm. Head light grey, sidetufts tinged with brownish. Palpi 
dark fuscous, extreme apical edge of second joint white, terminal joint whitish, 
tip dark grey. Antennae dark grey, on apical half with four remote white 
dots. Thorax light grey more or less tinged with brownish. Abdomen pale 
grey. Forewings elongate-lanceolate, acute; dark fuscous, in one specimen 
with dorsal half suffused with brownish; stigmata black, plical obliquely before 
first discal, indistinct or obsolete: cilia grey, towards base suffusedly barred 
with dark fuscous. Hindwings and cilia light grey. 
Zululand, Eshowe, in January (Janse); two specimens. 
Aristotelia stipella Hlibn. 
cJ 2 5-6 mm. A small form with subbasal yellow blotch from dorsum 
broad and reaching nearly to costa, yellow spots beyond middle of dorsum 
and in disc at § well-developed, in one specimen the whitish costal spot pro- 
duced in an irregular streak to termen above tornus; I consider the examples
