Stomopteryx hiangulata n.sp. 
^ 8 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-grey- whitish. Palpi white, second 
joint dark fuscous except apex, anterior edge of terminal joint finely black. 
Abdomen light grey. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, 
i apex pointed, termen very obliquely rounded; 6 separate; dark grey, costal 
I half of wing from base to f largely suffused with ochreous-whitish ; costa to- 
wards base narrowly suffused with dark fuscous; stigmata large, blackish, 
plical rather obliquely before first discal ; a white oblique line, slightly sinuate, 
from costa at | to near middle of termen, thence acutely angulated inwards 
to second discal stigma, and again acutely angulated to tornus : cilia whitish, 
grey on costa, greyish-tinged towards tornus, sprinkled with blackish points 
on basal half, and with a fine black postmedian line round apical portion. 
Hindwings grey; cilia pale grey. 
British S.E. Africa, Bela Vista, in November (Swierstra) ; one specimen. 
Commatica compsotoma n.sp. 
^ lo mm. Head ochreous-whitish, sides of face blackish. Palpi white, 
second joint blackish except extreme tip, extreme base of terminal joint blackish. 
Thorax whitish-ochreous, shoulders narrowly black. Abdomen grey, anal tuft 
whitish. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen 
extremely obliquely rounded; pale ochreous; an irregular blackish patch ex- 
tending along dorsum from near base to near tornus, widest before middle of 
wing, where it extends half across, edge sinuate before and beyond this, narrow 
towards posterior extremity, apex truncate and followed by slight whitish 
suffusion; a broad blackish streak along costa from before middle to apex, 
pointed anteriorly, cut by an oblique whitish strigula at f and a less oblique 
grey-whitish strigula at |, lower edge between this and apex semicircularly 
excavated; an oval silvery-white spot on middle of termen containing an 
elongate black dot: cilia ochreous-whitish, on costa grey with dark fuscous 
subbasal streak. Hindwings grey, lighter and bluish-tinged anteriorly; cilia 
grey. 
Rhodesia, Umtali, in January (Janse); Portuguese East Africa, 
Magude, in October (Swierstra) ; two specimens. An interesting occurrence, 
being a characteristic species of a characteristic South American genus. Type 
in Coll. Janse. 
Anacampsis cosmia n.sp. 
i8 mm. Head and thorax greyish. (Palpi broken.) Abdomen rather dark 
grey. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, posteriorly slightly dilated, costa 
gently arched, apex obtuse-pointed, termen almost straight, rather oblique; 
pale grey closely speckled with dark grey, with scattered black scales ; stigmata 
moderate, cloudy, blackish-grey, plical rather obliquely before first discal, an 
additional spot midway between first discal and base ; small cloudy ochreous- 
whitish opposite spots on costa before f and dorsum before tornus, connected 
by a faint pale obtusely angulated shade ; five or six black marginal dots round 
apex and upper part of termen : cilia pale grey mixed with darker, tips whitish 
on termen. Hindwings grey, suffused with darker on veins and towards apex 
and termen; cilia pale grey, with darker subbasal shade, tips whitish. 
Natal, Durban, in April (Janse); one specimen. Although the palpi are 
missing, the species is apparently shown by other characters (vein 2 of fore- 
wings remote from angle, cubital pecten of hairs in hindwings, &c.) to be a true 
Anacampsis as now defined by me, similar in appearance to the populella 
group.
