1 Macraeola crotalopis n.sp. 
i ^ 6 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax whitish-ochreous, a dark 
j fuscous spot on each side of forehead. Abdomen whitish. Forewings lanceolate, 
:j acute; whitish-ochreous, with some coarse scattered blackish scales; stigmata 
! represented by irregular groups of blackish scales, plical obliquely before first 
l| discal ; from about ^ of wing to apex both margins marked with small blackish 
I spots, about six on each: cilia whitish-ochreous. Hind wings whitish-grey; cilia 
ochreous-whitish. 
■ Transvaal, Pretoria, in December (Swierstra) ; one specimen. As far as 
I I can ascertain from this small single specimen, a true Macraeola \ the genus 
I includes also one Indian and one Australian species, apparently domestic 
insects. 
' Emmetoeca n.g. 
Head rough-haired; ocelli small, posterior; tongue absent. Antennae |, 
in (J simple, basal joint moderate, with slight pecten. Labial palpi moderate, 
porrected, clothed with long rough projecting hairscales throughout, with two 
or three long lateral bristles. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae 
clothed with long fine hairs above. Fore wings with i h furcate, 2 from f , 
3 from angle, 7 to costa, 8 absent, 9 and 10 stalked, ii from middle. Hind- 
I v/ings under i, elongate-ovate, cilia f ; 2-7 separate. 
Apparently belongs to group of Tinea \ neuration nearly as in Paraclystis, 
but there is perhaps no relationship. 
Emmetoeca melicosma n.sp. 
^ 14-15 mm. Head ochreous-yellow. Palpi ochreous-yellow, externally 
suffused with dark fuscous except towards apex. Thorax ochreous-yellow 
sprinkled with dark fuscous, with dark fuscous spot on shoulders. Abdomen 
dark grey, segmental margins sprinkled with whitish. Forewings elongate, 
rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely 
rounded; dark fuscous, with irregular variable ochreous-yellow spots and 
mottling, consisting mainly of some irregular longitudinal mottling from base 
above middle, a patch of similar mottling occupying antemedian area on costal 
half and extending to end of cell, some narrow mottling along dorsum, a patch 
on costa about f , a spot above tornus and one near apex, a small spot at apex 
and dots above and below it: cilia ochreous-yellow, suffused with grey, with 
dark fuscous median and apical shades, nearly clear ochreous-yellow patches 
at apex and above and below it. Hind wings dark purple-grey; cilia dark grey. 
Natal, Durban, bred from larvae in nests of Termites, in September and 
j November (Janse); two specimens. 
Craterombris n.g. 
Head densely rough-haired; ocelli posterior; tongue obsolete. Antennae 
f , joints closely set, serrulate, in ^ simple, basal joint moderate, with pecten. 
Labial palpi moderately long, porrected, second joint with dense rough tuft 
of long projecting scales beneath and some lateral projecting bristles, terminal 
joint shorter, slender, tolerably obtuse. Maxillary palpi imperceptible. Pos- 
terior tibiae clothed with long fine hairs above. Forewings with 2 from towards 
angle, 3 from angle, 7 absent, ii from before middle. Hind wings under i, 
ovate-lanceolate, cilia i ; 2—7 separate, 4-6 rather approximated. 
A development of Tinea. Owing to the dense hairs of head and labial palpi 
I am unable to determine the development of maxillary palpi without removing 
a labial palpus, but it is probable that they are short or rudimentary.
