lanceolate ; dark purplish-fuscous ; a circular whitish subbasal area containing 
a large grey raised costal spot; similar round raised violet-grey spots ringed 
with whitish or whitish-ochreous suffusion beneath costa before middle, above 
dorsum slightly beyond this, and above tornus, and smaller raised spots in 
disc at ^ and f ; whitish opposite wedge-shaped marks at | connected by a fine 
cloudy acutely angulated line; cloudy grey marginal dots round apex: cilia 
grey, darker round apex. Hindwings rather dark grey; cilia grey. 
Portuguese East Africa, Lorenzo Marques (Moreira), Rikatla, in 
December (Junod); two specimens, neither in good condition. Type in Coll. 
Janse. 
Platyhathra picropa n.sp. 
(^13 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax pale brownish-ochreous. Abdomen light 
bronzy-ochreous, sides pale grey. Forewings narrowly elongate-lanceolate; 
light brownish-ochreous; costal edge dark fuscous towards base; plical and 
second discal stigmata dark fuscous: cilia pale ochreous. Hindwings grey; 
cilia light greyish. 
Rhodesia, Umtali, in January (Janse); one specimen. 
OECOPHORIDAE 
Macrohathra fasciata Wals. 
Rhodesia, Sawmills, in February (Janse); one specimen. Unquestionably 
identified; erroneously referred by Lord Walsingham to Stagmatophora {Trans. 
Ent. Soc. Lond. 1891, 118, pi. vi, 56). I have not seen Stagmatophora distincta 
Wals. {ib. 1 19, pi. VI, 57), but have very little doubt that it is also a Macro- 
hathra, nearly allied to the following species. 
Macrohathra peraeota n.sp. 
S 8 mm. Head white. (Palpi missing.) Thorax white, anterior half suffused 
with dark grey. Abdomen grey, anal tuft whitish. Forewings elongate-lanceo- 
late, acute; grey suffusedly mixed with dark fuscous; markings white; a 
moderate rather oblique transverse fascia at J; a moderate irregular spot on 
middle of costa; a streak along dorsum from beyond middle to tornus, where 
it expands into a triangular spot ; a moderate triangular spot on costa towards 
apex, and smaller spot on termen opposite: cilia light greyish, round apex 
mixed with dark fuscous on basal half, above and beneath this suffused with 
white. Hindwings grey; cilia pale greyish. 
Portuguese East Africa, Magude, in November (Swierstra) ; one speci- 
men. 
Promalactis geometrica Meyr. 
Rhodesia, Hopefontein and Victoria Falls, in January (Janse). The Hope- 
fontein example is a and has a small white spot at apex of wing; the Victoria i 
Falls example is a $, and has the posterior white streak interrupted above 
tornus ; both have the blackish posterior margin of costal spot less developed 
than in the original type, and the terminal joint of palpi more or less mixed 
with blackish; otherwise the three specimens are exactly similar in structure 
and markings, and I think them certainly conspecific. 
Fahiola callipetala n.sp.

with a dark grey line, terminal j oint with a dark fuscous median band . Antennal 
ciliations 2^. Thorax brown, sides and patagia yellow except shoulders. Abdo-
