j elongate, rather narrow, posteriorly somewhat dilated, costa gently arched, 
I apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; 8 and 9 stalked ; grey, irregularly 
j irrorated with whitish, with scattered black scales; several irregular small 
black dots on costal half; larger black dots in disc at middle and before f, 
[ first connected with middle of dorsum by an undefined incurved streak of 
black irroration; several irregular large black dots along posterior portion of 
i costa, and some smaller ones near and along termen: cilia whitish, basal half 
I suffused with light grey. Hindwings with 5 and 6 coincident; grey, brassy- 
tinged; cilia as in fore wings. 
Rhodesia, Hopefontein, in January (Janse); one specimen. Allied to the 
I following, but probably truly distinct, by neuration as well as other characters. 
Ceromitia mesosema n.sp. 
2 21 mm. Head white, forehead and face light brown. Palpi short, whitish, 
base dark fuscous. Antennae whitish, faintly ringed with pale fuscous. Thorax 
whitish, patagia tinged with brownish. Abdomen light grey. Forewings 
elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen very 
obliquely rounded; all veins separate; light fuscous suffusedly irrorated with 
whitish, strewn with irregularly scattered suffused dark fuscous dots and 
strigulae; a small dark fuscous spot on middle of dorsum; a marginal series 
of large cloudy rather dark fuscous dots round posterior part of costa and 
termen: cilia fuscous-whitish, on basal half faintly barred with fuscous. Hind- 
wings with 5 and 6 approximated at base; grey; cilia grey- whitish. 
Rhodesia, Umtali, in January (Janse); one specimen. 
Ceromitia pilularis n.sp. 
S 19 mm. Head ochreous-yellow. Palpi short, slender, dark fuscous. 
Antennae whitish. Thorax white, anteriorly tinged with yellowish, shoulders 
narrowly dark fuscous. Abdomen grey, apex whitish -yellowish. Forewings 
elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen very 
obliquely rounded ; 8 and 9 stalked ; white, with a few scattered black scales, 
costal edge whitish-ochreous ; costa slenderly blackish towards base; minute 
black subcostal and submedian dots towards base; five small roundish black 
spots, viz. two beneath fold at J and ^ of wing, two in disc beyond these 
respectively, and one towards costa above (not beyond) second of these latter; 
a small black dot beyond fifth spot ; a somewhat incurved series of five large 
black dots from before apex to near termen above tornus; a marginal series 
of small black dots round posterior part of costa and termen: cilia whitish- 
ochreous. Hindwings grey; cilia grey-whitish, greyer towards base. 
Rhodesia, Salisbury, in December (Janse); one specimen. Closely allied 
to glandularis from Nyasaland, of which I have now seen a good series, but 
apparently distinct by (i) fifth spot of forewings being above fourth, instead 
of very obliquely beyond it and in a line with second on fold, (2) the curved 
series of five approximated dots before termen, in glandularis represented by 
two only; the characters of glandularis are constant in all specimens seen. 
Veins 8 and 9 of forewings are separate in the original type of glandularis, but 
stalked in some other examples, as in the present species. 
Ceromitia cerochlora n.sp. 
d 18-21 mm. Head ochreous-yellowish. Palpi short, slender, whitish- 
ochreous, second joint with a grey streak. Antennae white. Thorax pale 
ochreous, shoulders grey. Abdomen yellowish-grey, anal tuft whitish-ochreous. 
Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely
