stalked for frd of 6; 7 curved upwards at base, then curved downwards and 
approximated to upper median, which is curved upwards at middle for more 
than middle third, then oblique to costa near apex; a bar between them at |rd 
of vein 8. 
Only one species is known in this genus. 
My specimens show a little difference from what Hampson gives in the 
description; the palpi are there porrect; apex of fore wing produced, 3 and 4 
from angle of cell, and in the hind wing 5 is said to be from middle of disco- 
cellulars. The first and last differences are of a rather undefined nature without 
a figure and the others may be variable. In my three specimens the palpi 
are somewhat upturned; as is suggested by the curve of the first joint and vein 
3 is well remote from 4, the origin of vein 5 of hind wing is from just a little 
above middle. As all the other characters agree well, I have no doubt that my 
specimens have to come in this genus.

My specimens show slight differences: the dorsal surface of the abdomen 
of my $ is bright yellow, the thorax has a distinct brown patch, which is also 
present in the ^s but more or less covered with the pinkish hairs of the 
patagia; in two of my specimens vein 7 is also streaked with yellowish-white. 
1 have, however, no doubt that my identification is correct, as these differ- 
ences are only additions and all other points agree in every respect, also the 
species is very distinctly marked. 
My specimens are from Umtali, two ^s, 3 and 11. 1. T8 (Janse); one $ 
from Salisbury, 11. 12. T6 (Father O’Neil). 
Genus CRAMBOMETRA. 
(PI. V, fig. 19; PL IX, figs. 18-23.) 
Crambometra Prout. Nov. Zool. xxii. p. 376 (1915). 
Type derelicta. 
Proboscis well developed; palpi obliquely upturned, reaching well above 
vertex of head; first joint a little shorter than second joint, curved; second joint 
straight, cylindrical; third joint sub-globular, as long as second joint is thick; 
second joint in front triangularly covered with scales and long hairs; first and 
third joints with hairs only; vertex smoothly covered with long scales, rounded ; 
eyes very large, round, naked; antennae with the shaft till middle of costa, 
bipectinated with long irregularly curved branches as long as about 12 times 
thickness of shaft; branches ciliated in front and ending in rather long cilia; 
first joint of shaft scaled and without tuft; fore tibia with a thin curved process, 
a little longer than tibia; first tarsal joint nearly as long as tibia; mid tibia 
very slender and with two spurs ; hind legs rather slender and with four spurs ; 
longest spur about fth of tibia, inner spur about frd of outer spur; the spurs 
have two terminal ridges of teeth, between which is a rounded groove; all legs 
and the spurs covered with appressed scales and short hairs ; inner side of tarsi 
with spines as well. Fore wing rather long, sub-triangular; costa straight, well 
rounded towards apex; apex rounded; termen very obliquely curved; tornus 
somewhat rounded ; inner margin nearly straight ; 1 b without a fork at base ; 
2 from beyond frd lower median ; 3 from fth 2 to 4 ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 from 
just below middle of discocellulars, which are a little incurved at middle; 6
