Annals of the Transvaal Museum 99 
men pale ochreous suffused with grey. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, 
apex obtuse-pointed, termen slightly rounded, oblique ; brown partially mixed 
with orange and sprinkled with dark fuscous; three orange-yellow blotches 
partially edged with white, viz. one rounded along anterior half of dorsum 
reaching more than half across wing, one subtriangular extending on dorsum 
from near beyond first nearly to tornus and reaching half across wing, and one 
broadly triangular extending on costa from f to f and reaching more than half 
across wing; a blotch of orange-yellow suffusion in disc before middle; a suf- 
fused orange terminal fascia : cilia light yellowish, tinged with orange-fulvous 
towards tornus (imperfect). Hind wings grey; cilia grey-whitish. 
Rhodesia, Umtali, in January (Janse); one specimen. The example is not 
in very good condition, but it is an interesting insect, allied to the other forms 
of the genus, such as icterinella and iagathella, but distinct from them. There 
is one North African species of the genus, two South European, and one North 
American. 
Endrosis psammodora n.sp. 
16 mm. Head light ochreous-yellowish. Palpi ochreous-whitish, second 
joint somewhat infuscated towards base. Antennal ciliations i, even. Thorax 
pale ochreous. Abdomen pale grey, three basal segments and anal tuft pale 
ochreous. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex 
pointed, termen very obliquely rounded; pale ochreous: cilia whitish-ochreous. 
Hind wings light grey; cilia whitish-ochreous. 
Transvaal, Pretoria, in January (Swierstra) ; one specimen. This interest- 
ing species appears truly congeneric with the well-known domestic lactella, 
having all the essential characters, in particular the characteristic neuration, 
and subbasal hyaline spot of hindwings. 
Endrosis lactella Schiff. 
Natal, Rietvlei, in April (Otto) ; one specimen. An introduced domestic 
insect, apparently not previously noticed from South Africa; it is widely 
spread, but avoids hot regions. 
Borkhausenia intumescens n.sp. 
^ 11-12 mm. Head whitish-ochreous. Palpi whitish-ochreous, second joint 
with dark fuscous streak on basal half, terminal joint with dark fuscous sub- 
apical ring. Antennal ciliations 3. Thorax whitish-ochreous, anteriorly tinged 
with fuscous, shoulders dark fuscous. Abdomen grey, anal tuft whitish- 
ochreous. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, 
termen very obliquely rounded; whitish-ochreous, suffusedly irrorated with 
fuscous; basal third suffused with dark fuscous, except a small clear whitish- 
ochreous spot in middle of base; more or less clear whitish-ochreous blotches 
on costa at | and f , space between these suffused with dark fuscous; discal 
stigmata represented by round blotches of dark fuscous suffusion, a similar 
blotch more or less developed between these, separated by pale spaces; more 
or less dark fuscous suffusion towards median area of dorsum; apical fourth 
of wing dark fuscous, extending to tornus: cilia whitish-ochreous, basal half 
barred and more or less mixed with dark fuscous. Hindwings light grey; cilia 
whitish-ochreous tinged with grey except towards base. 
Cape Colony, Port Elizabeth, in November and December (Fitzsimons) ; 
two specimens. Type in Coll. Janse. Apparently related to the European 
fuscescens.
