Under side : fore wing uniform hair-brown (xlvi) ; hind wing white with 
hair-brown irroration along costa and hair-brown terminal shading; cilia white. 
Exp. 25 mm.; $, 29 mm. 
Hab. <$ type from New Hanover (Hardenberg, 8. T7) ; $ type from Durban 
(v. d. Merwe, 6. 3. ’17); a^ cotype from Emangeni (S. Rhodesia), 18. 1. 18 
(Janse); and another worn $ specimen from Valdesia (Zoutpansberg distr.) in 
Nov. 1915 (Mr T. Robson). 
Genus BREYERIA nov. 
(Pl. V, fig. 16; PI. VIII, figs. 20-25.) 
Type dasychiroides spec. nov. 
Proboscis absent; eyes moderate, elliptical; frons rounded, covered with 
hairs forming a ridge in the middle; palpi porrect, short, just reaching frons; 
first and second joints about of equal length; third joint a little over half of 
second, pear-shaped; al] joints with rather long hairs in front, mixed with some 
scales ; antennae about half length of costa, bipectinate till tip ; branches long 
and spreading, 6 to 8 times shaft and with long cilia in front; tuft on first joint 
of shaft moderate; a slight tuft of scales on metathorax; a crest of long, 
spreading hairs on first segment of abdomen; femora thinly fringed with long 
hairs on inner side, otherwise covered with scales ; femur of fore leg with some 
scales amongst the hairs ; tibiae covered with scales on outer side ; tarsi covered 
with appressed scales mixed with spines on inner side ; fore tibia with a rather 
thin undulating process just reaching till a little beyond tibia and curved a 
little outwardly ; mid tibia with two, hind tibia with four spurs, which are about 
as long as half of first tarsal joint; spurs covered with hairs, except near the tip, 
which is sharply pointed and almost straight, and with vestigial rows of teeth ; 
outer spur about fth shorter than inner. Fore wing elongate triangular; costa 
nearly straight, curved towards apex ; apex slightly rounded, termen fairly erect, 
and curved from 2 to 6; tornus rounded ; inner margin with a slight rounded lobe 
on basal half; 1 b apparently without a fork; 2 from fth of lower median; 3 from 
a little beyond middle of 2 to 4 ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 rather weak and from 
above middle of discocellulars which are faint, erect and somewhat curved; 
6 from fth of areole; areole large, about four times as long as broad; 7, 8, 9 
stalked and with vein 10 from end of areole; 7 from stalk at half the distance 
upper angle to apex; 8 from fth that distance; 11 from upper median at fth 
and somewhat curved; 12 parallel to costa. Hind wing triangular with rounded 
corners * costa somewhat arched ; apex somewhat rounded ; termen very oblique 
and curved from 2 to 7 ; tornus well rounded ; inner margin well arched ; 1 a 
and 1 b practically straight ; 2 from lower median at f rd ; 3 from fth distance 
2 to 4; 4 from lower angle; 5 rather weak, from just above middle of disco- 
cellulars, which are faint and very oblique outwardly; 6 and 7 on a stalk of 
over frd ; parallel to upper median to end, then much curved. 
On account of the broader fore wing, longer areole andl onger pectination, it 
is brought in the key into the Zana-Chadisra group, but I do not think that this 
is its natural position. I rather think it related to Phycitimorpha from which it 
differs in vein 10 of fore wing coming from the end of the areole, different shape 
of areole, the hind wing having 3 and 4 apart, discocellulars being much more 
oblique and vein 5 from well above middle ; the fore wing is much shorter and 
broader, the process of the fore tibia is totally different, the palpi are much 
shorter and are porrect.
