with dark grey, tinged here and there with brownish ; some small dark fuscous

irregular, oblique, dark fuscous, adjoining this beneath is a greyish blotch 
terminated posteriorly by a dark fuscous projection, fascia beneath this 
obsolete; a subcrescentic upwards-convex dark fuscous blotch towards termen 
above middle, posterior lobe pale-mixed and extended downwards nearly to 
termen below middle: cilia ochreous-whitish, obscurely barred with grey 
irroration except towards tornus. Hind wings grey; cilia whitish-grey, with 
grey subbasal line. 
Rhodesia, Sawmills, in February (Janse) ; one specimen. Somewhat allied

Argyroploce acroplecta n.sp. 
^ i 6 mm. Head ochreous mixed with ochreous-whitish. Palpi ochreous- 
whitish mixed with light brownish, base of terminal joint grey. Thorax light 
ochreous partially tinged with rosy-brownish. Abdomen light greyish, anal 
tuft pale ochreous. Forewings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa gently 
arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, rather oblique; pale brownish- 
ochreous obscurely mixed with darker, with very faint pinkish tinge; a few 
scattered blackish scales indicating strigulae on costal and dorsal edges; 
markings rosy-brown, with a few blackish scales; edge of basal patch partial^ 
indicated, obtusely angulated in middle; upper half of central fascia moderate, 
oblique, rest obsolete; some scattered blackish-grey scales towards costa 
beyond this; two or three small indistinct spots on costa posteriorly; an 
inwardly oblique streak from apex reaching nearly half across wing: cilia 
light brownish-ochreous, with gre^dsh spots above apex and beneath tornus, 
and a faint slight bar in middle of termen. Hindwings grey; cilia whitish-grey,

Rhodesia, Umvuma, in December (Janse); one specimen. A $ from 
Rietvlei, Natal, in April, has a very broad postmedian band of dark fuscous

costal spots of dark fuscous irroration representing normal edge of basal patch 
and extremity of central fascia; a triangular patch of dark grey irroration 
tinged with brownish-ochreous occupying apical area from costal extremity 
of preceding to tornus, including two or three obscure leaden marks from
