Amalthina lacteata Meyr. 
S $ 27-28 mm. Forewings suffusedly irrorated generally with white, leaving 
a semioval dark spot on middle of costa, and oblique marks at ^ and | ; in $ a 
slender black oblique bar in disc at ^ , first discal stigma obliquely beyond this, 
forming a large black dot, second represented by a slightly oblique black linear 
transverse mark. 
Natal, Durban, in February, 1$ (Janse); Portuguese East Africa, 
Inyack Island, in September, i ^ (Breijer). I entertain no doubt that these 
are specifically identical with each other and the original example, notwith- 
standing the remarkable development of the black discal markings in the 
apparently characteristic of that sex. 
Ethmia judicialis n.sp. 
cJ 24 mm. Head grey-whitish, with a blackish spot in centre of crown and 
a mark on each side of collar. Palpi rather short, grey (rubbed) . Thorax grey- 
whitish, with blackish dots on shoulders, apex of patagia, and two near posterior 
extremity. Abdomen grey, apex ochreous-yellow. Forewings elongate, costa 
gently arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded; grey-whitish; six large 
black dots, viz. one beneath costa near base, three representing stigmata, 
plical obliquely beyond first discal, one midway between plical and base, and 
one midway between and rather above first and second discal; an almost 
marginal series of nine smaller black dots round posterior part of costa and 
termen: cilia grey- whitish. Hind wings whitish, tinged with grey posteriorly; 
cilia white. 
Rhodesia, Umvuma, in December (Janse); one specimen. The example is 
in rather poor condition, but very distinct, nearest dactylia. 
Gymnogramma eoxantha n.sp. 
$ 21 mm. Head and thorax yellow, face crimson. Palpi light yellowish, 
terminal joint suffused with rosy. Abdomen whitish-ochreous. Forewings 
elongate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen rather obliquely rounded; 
yellow; costal edge crimson towards base: cilia light yellow. Hindwings 
ochreous-whitish, tinged with rosy towards apex ; cilia whitish. 
Transvaal, Woodbush Village, in April (Swierstra) ; one specimen. Nearest 
rhodoneura. 
Anticrates electropis n.sp. 
cJ 14 mm. Head and thorax deep bronzy-purple. Palpi dark purple-fuscous, 
with some scattered whitish scales. Abdomen light purple-bronzy. Forewings 
elongate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen hardly sinuate, oblique; 
light shining bronze ; deep purple suffusion, with some scattered whitish scales, 
forming a band along costal f of wing from base to |, but somewhat streaked 
with ground colour between veins posteriorly, and a broad streak rising out 
of this towards base and extending below middle of disc to beyond end of 
cell; some undefined purple suffusion on dorsal area from base to a narrow 
purplish transverse streak on discal area towards termen, marked with three 
or four minute white dots; a terminal series of minute white dots surrounded 
with purplish, at apex forming a larger purple spot : cilia light shining bronze, 
towards tips coppery, towards apex and tornus more or less suffused with 
deep purplish. Hindwings light grey; cilia whitish-grey. 
Natal, Rietvlei, in March (Janse); one specimen. The characteristically 
Indo-Malayan genus Anticrates has not been previously recorded from Africa.
