Steganosticha n.g. 
Head rough-haired ; ocelli small, posterior; tongue short, slender. Antennae j 
f , basal joint moderate, with pecten. Labial palpi moderate, porrected, with [ 
appressed scales, second joint short, terminal joint longer than second, pointed. : 
Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae with appressed scales. Fore- 
wings with 2 from considerably before angle, 3-5 approximated at base, 7 to 
termen, 8 and 9 from near angle, 10 rather remote, ii from towards base. 
Hindwings f, narrowly elongate-ovate, cilia over i; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 nearly 
parallel, nearer 6 than 4, 6 and 7 somewhat approximated towards base. ' 
Undoubtedly allied to Calamotis. 
Steganosticha remigera n.sp. 
$ 13 mm. Head white. Palpi white, apex of second joint infuscated. 
Thorax white, with a slender fuscous median bar, and two dark fuscous dots 
posteriorly. Abdomen whitish mixed with light grey. Forewings elongate, 
costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; white, 
in disc sprinkled with dark fuscous; a blackish dot on base of costa; about ! 
fourteen somewhat oblique fine blackish streaks of varying length from costa, j 
edged anteriorly with brownish-ochreous suffusion, longest about middle and [ 
I , but not reaching half across wing, last two nearly direct ; a blackish trans- 
verse mark below middle at i; a rhomboidal spot of dark fuscous irroration 
on dorsum before middle, forming part of a fascia of which the remainder is 
represented by a pale brownish tinge sprinkled with dark fuscous; a shorter 
similar spot on dorsum about | , and an irregular elongate mark before tornus ; 
an elongate-oval blotch of dark fuscous irroration resting on termen beneath 
apex and receiving the last seven streaks from costa, suffused with brownish- 
ochreous towards termen, an almost marginal line from this to tornus: cilia 
white, on apex and upper half of termen brown within a blackish median line, 
triangularly indented with white beneath apex. Hindwings light grey; cilia 
pale ochreous-grey. 
Natal, Karkloof, in January (Janse); one specimen. An interesting and 
remarkable form, having much superficial resemblance to some species of 
Tinea such as milichopa, perhaps sympathetic; there is no relationship. 
Acrataula n.g. 
Head loosely rough-haired ; ocelli posterior; tongue rudimentary. Antennae 
in (J minutely ciliated, basal joint moderate, with strong pecten; Labial 
palpi moderate, porrected, slender, second joint loosely scaled, terminal joint 
short, pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae clothed with 
hairs above. Forewings with 2 and 3 approximated from angle, 4 and 5 
approximated at base, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, ii from middle. Hindwings 
I, elongate-ovate, cilia i; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 somewhat approximated towards 
base, 6 and 7 parallel, transverse vein very oblique from 5 to 7. 
Nearest in characters to Parapvays, which however has 7 and 8 of forewings 
separate. 
Acrataula catapachna n.sp. 
$12 mm. Head white, crown mixed with grey. Palpi white mixed with 
grey. Thorax white somewhat mixed with light grey. Abdomen pale greyish, 
segmental margins and anal tuft white. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, 
costa gently arched, apex obtuse-pointed, termen very obliquely rounded; 
light grey suffusedly irrorated with white, more suffused on a longitudinal 
streak in disc; cilia white. Hindwings whitish-grey; cilia ochreous- white. 
Transvaal, Pretoria, in March (Swierstra) ; one specimen.
