Sarnia, Natal, 10th February, 1912 (Williamson). Cotypes in coll. 
L. B. Prout. 
It is unfortunate that the $ is still unknown, but the species will be 
easy to recognize. 
Ptychopodci fortificata, n. sp. (PI. XXY, Fig. 11). 
§, 16 mm. Face and most of upper and outer sides of palpus blackish ; 
head, body, and legs otherwise concolorous with wings. Wings glossy 
bone-colour, sparsely sprinkled with fuscous atoms, ground-colour more 
strongly tinged with brownish-ochreous than in associata Warr., Nov. 
Zook, IV, 62, no doubt belonging to the same group ; the markings dis- 
tinct, deep purplish-fuscous. Forewing with costal margin rather broadly 
fuscous from base to first line; first line from costa at 1*5 mm., bent 
on M, then slightly incurved ; median line rather thick, not quite so sharply 
expressed as the others, blackest at costa, weakly sinuous, nearer the 
termen at its posterior end than at its anterior, containing on its proximal 
edge a minute black discal dot ; postmedian nearly black, similarly 
sinuous, or rather more conspicuously so posteriorly, swelling into distal 
blotches near costa, at hind margin, and especially from B 3 to M 2 ; some 
less intense fuscous shading at termen, hardly thicker than a line in 
posterior part of wing but widening anteriorly ; some minute dark dots 
(scarcely visible to the naked eye) on the fringe close to its base. Hind- 
wing with termen straight from It 1 to the rounded bend at B^-M 1 , then 
again straight or faintly concave ; SC 2 moderately long-stalked ; first 
line wanting, the others more strongly sinuous, the median therefore 
containing the discal dot at its distal edge, postmedian weaker than on 
forewing, double, its two parts confluent at costa and close to tornus ; 
terminal shade and fringe as on forewing. Forewing beneath without 
first line, but with some fuscous suffusion distally and in cell ; median 
and postmedian very strongly expressed, the latter not widening into 
distal blotches, terminal shade and fringe as above. Hindwmg beneath 
with the median line, terminal shade and fringe as above, postmedian 
single, corresponding to the distal of the upperside pair. 
Barberton, 31st December, 1910. 
Larger and more sharply lined than associata Warr. and squamulata 
Warr., the lines and distal blotches differently arranged, etc., perhaps 
intermediate in breadth of wing. 
Ptychopoda echo , n. sp. (PI. XXY, Fig. 12). 
cL 13 mm. Face, palpus, and upper and inner side of foreleg blackish. 
Vertex and antenna pale. Collar and front of thorax darkened, as costal 
region of forewing ; body otherwise coloured like ground-colour of wings. 
Similar in colour and facies to associata Warr., of which I at first sup- 
posed it might be merely a weakly marked form; £ antennal joints, 
however, with strong angular projections as in squamulata Warr., which 
is not conspicuously the case with associata. Hindlegs unfortunately lost. 
Wings slightly broader than in associata ; second costal spot of forewing 
further from termen (about midway between termen and first spot), the 
postmedian which arises from it therefore also further from termen, rather 
less inbent posteriorly, rather weak and fine, a band shortly beyond it
