tinate, curved ; basal joint with a slight tuft ; branches about 8 times 
shaft, ending in 1 long and 1 short bristle ; fore legs missing in my 
specimen ; mid and hind tibiae with terminal spurs only ; legs with thin

median ; 3 from beyond 4 of 2 to 4 ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 from a little 
above the angle ; discoceliular faint ; cell over J length of wing ; 6 from 
below upper angle ; 7 and 8 on a stalk of -J 7 and from upper angle ; 
9 and 10 on a stalk of J 10 and from beyond of upper median ; stalk 
of 9 and 10 and vein 9 for \ its free length anastomosing with upper part 
of stalk of 7 and 8, and with 8 for nearly so as to form an areole which 
is shorter than the length of each of the two stalks ; 11 from f upper 
median and nearly parallel to 12 ; 12 parallel to costa for over §. 
Hind wing sub-triangular ; costa and inner margin slightly hollowed

to 4 ; 4 and 5 from lower angle ; discoceliular oblique, faint and angled 
at § ; 6 and 7 on a stalk of J 6 and from upper angle ; 8 touching upper 
median at before J, where the latter is bent, but not anastomosing with it. 
Though I have not seen any other species of this genus, the description

that appears to be undescribed. 
Pirga transvalensis, nov. spec. (pi. Ill, fig. 1). 
Hairs of head, palpi, thorax and abdomen above and underneath, 
and legs cream buff (XXX) ; shaft and branches of antennae black ; wings

are longest near base and inner margin of hind wing ; all veins, termen 
and apex of both wings, costa of fore wing, and tornus and inner margin 
of hind wing mummy brown (XV) ; hind wing with the hairy covering a 
little thicker than on fore wing ; cilia cream buff. 
Under side as above.
