49- Gonodontis homales sp. nov. 
$, 44 mm. Head and body concolorous with wings, only the palpus and 
legs somewhat browner. Face prominent, sloping, with projecting tuft below. 
Palpus about 2. 
Fore wing with apex acute, minutely produced, termen smooth, little 
oblique anteriorly, strongly curved about the radials so as to become rather 
strongly oblique; cell rather long, SC^ free, SC^ connected by a bar with 
5 C 3 - 4 ; very pale drab, scarcely irrorated except in costal and distal regions, 
where some weak grey irroration is noticeable, inclining to form minute 
strigulae at the costal edge; lines obsolete; a grey discal ring; a short blackish 
dash at costa 4 mm. from apex; some slight grey shading at distal margin 
towards apex, darkening into a blackish terminal dash at apex itself; fringe 
rather paler, in some lights showing a slight reddish tinge, at apex slightly 
darkened. Hind wing with termen weakly subcrenulate anteriorly, virtually 
smooth posteriorly; distally concolorous with fore wing, shading oh to whitish 
proximally; a weak grey line beyond middle, somewhat accentuated on the 
veins; a fine whitish line at base of fringe. 
Underside whiter in places, notably in posterior part of fore wing; costal 
markings of fore wing reproduced; a small cell-dot on hind wing. 
Transvaal: Groenvlei, 4 January 1907. Type in coll. Janse. 
Not so shaggy as typical Gonodontis. Perhaps akin to stictoneura Prout 
{Ann. S. Afr. Mus. xvii. 72) but broader, both wings with termen smoother, 
etc., etc. 
50. Eurythecodes niveifrons sp. nov. (PI. I, fig. 16). 
S, 32—34 mm. Face pure white, with a very narrow fuscous-mixed upper 
edge. Palpus fight brown or fuscous. Vertex white; occiput fight ochreous 
brown. Antennal shaft mixed with whitish above, pectinations fight brown, 
of only moderate length and ceasing shortly beyond middle of antenna. Thorax 
fight ochreous brown; abdomen paler, subdorsally whitish. Femora light 
brown; tibiae and tarsi whiter, sometimes irrorated with fuscous. 
Fore wing with SC^ connected with C by an extremely short or rather 
short bar, SC^ free (not stalked with SC^ as is normal in the group) ; fight 
ochreous brown, without dark irroration; cell-dot minute, darker and redder 
brown ; antemedian fine brown, rather fine and very feeble, obsolete costally, 
very gently and regularly excurved from SC at about one-third to hind 
margin beyond two-fifths; postmedian also brown, rather thicker and much 
more distinct, slightly pale-edged distally, gently incurved between SC® near 
apex and hind margin rather near tornus, anteriorly oblique inward (though 
less strongly than in flavedinaria Guen.) and reddened; a small white subcostal 
mark just beyond; no terminal fine; fringe concolorous. Hind wing only 
feebly bent at i?®; paler, especially anteriorly and proximally; almost un- 
marked; posteriorly with faint indication of a straightish postmedian fine, 
at abdominal margin placed at about two-thirds, but receding from termen 
anteriorly. 
Underside more uniformly coloured, the fore wing being paler than above 
(especially posteriorly), the hind wing less pale than above; almost unmarked, 
the fore wing with weak indications of the postmedian fine, at least anteriorly. 
Pretoria North (C. J. Swierstra), 30 March 1917, type in coll. Transvaal 
Museum; 15 December 1916, paratype in coll. L. B. Prout. 
Except in the non-stalking of the first two subcostals of the fore wing, this 
species agrees pretty accurately in stiuctmewithEurythecodes , but whether that 
genus should sink to Epigynopteryx or Psilocerea I am not yet prepared to say.
