a light rosy streak along fold extended to a roundish ochreous-white ferruginous- 
edged spot on dorsum beyond middle; a round ochreous-white ferruginous- 
edged praeapical blotch, edged posteriorly by a leaden-grey streak round apex 
and upper part of termen ; lower part of termen marked with three ochreous- 
white dots alternating with leaden-grey dots : cilia on costa rosy-crimson, on 
termen yellow, on tornal area light rosy-pink tinged with grey. Hindwings 
whitish-ochreous, suffused with light ochreous-yellowish above cell; cilia light 
ochreous-yellowish . 
Cape Colony, Nelsprnit, in December (Breijer); one specimen. Type in 
Transvaal Museum. 
Isocrita phlyctidopa n.sp. 
d 13 mm. Head whitish, crown mixed with crimson. Palpi whitish, laterally 
suffused with pale rosy. Thorax ochreous-grey-whitish, with three interrupted 
transverse crimson bars. Abdomen ochreous- whitish, on basal half with a' 
dorsal stripe of light rosy suffusion. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, 
apex obtuse, termen rather obliquely rounded ; ochreous-whitish, with crimson- 
red irroration forming a scanty irregular reticulation ; a light crimson streak 
edged with grey along costa throughout, and continued along termen to tornus ; 
very oblique strigulae of blackish irroration crossing this from base and middle 
of costa ; indistinct greyish shades crossing wing from f of costa to a crimson 
mark on dorsum near base, and from | of costa to an elongate spot of fuscous 
suffusion extending along median portion of dorsum; a round white blotch 
edged with crimson resting on anterior end of this spot, and another superposed 
and somewhat obliquely before it in disc ; a third similar and somewhat larger 
blotch above middle of disc, surrounded with rosy-grey suffusion extending 
above over median third of costal streak, and a fourth blotch near dorsum at 
|: cilia light purplish-rosy, on upper part of termen yellow, on tornal area 
ochreous-whitish. Hindwings and cilia whitish-yellowish. 
Portuguese East Africa, Magude, in November (Swierstra) ; one speci- 
men. This species certainly has the aspect of a Diocosma, but is structurally 
a true Isocrita. 
Isocrita psalactis Meyr. 
An example from Pretoria in March (Swierstra) has the markings more 
ochreous -tinged, the antemedian markings as described united into an entire 
fascia, and distinct raised tufts in disc before and beyond middle, which were 
abraded in the original type; it is certainly the same species. 
Chalcocolona n.g. 
Head with appressed scales; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae |, in d serrate, minutely ciliated, basal joint moderate, with slight 
pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, 
terminal joint as long as second, moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, 
filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long fine hairs 
above. Forewings with tufts of scales on surface; 2 from towards angle, 7 and 
8 stalked, 7 to costa, ii from middle. Hindwings somewhat under i, ovate- 
lanceolate, cilia somewhat over i ; 3 and 4 connate, 5-7 nearly parallel. 
Allied to Proceleustis and Cnemidolophus ; the type was originally assigned 
with doubt to Cnemidolophus .
