of the minute dot, and on the hindwing of an elongate blackish cell-mark 
accompanied dis tally by a fuscous blotch reaching to the postmedian line 
and slightly across it, and extending as far as vein M 2 ; cell-spots also 
slightly increased on under surface. 
St. John’s, January, 1910 (H. H. Swinny). Type (?) in coll. L. B. 
Prout ; cotypes in coll. Transvaal Museum and British Museum, the latter 
($) from Durban, 3rd March, 1901 (G. F. Leigh), 
Acidalia rossi, n. sp. 
o, 24-25 mm. Face and palpus black, the latter pale on the inner 
side. Antennal ciliation moderate (about 1J). Vertex pale, occiput 
fuscous ; collar reddish brown. Thorax, abdomen and legs concolorous 
with wings, foreleg somewhat marked with fuscous above. Hindtarsus 
slightly over two-thirds length of tibia. 
Wings whitish ochreous, fine speckled with fuscous atoms, the markings 
darker ochreous-grey, not very strong. Forewing with antemedian line 
at one-third, very fine and faint, curved ; discal dot very black, moderate- 
sized ; median shade thicker, from costa well beyond middle, curved and 
slightly sinuous, reaching posterior margin at middle, but passing the 
discal dot at about 1 mm. distally ; postmedian line rather fine, fairly 
distinct, midway between median shade and termen, nearly parallel with 
former, but more bent outwards about R 1 and markedly incurved between 
R 1 and R 3 ; termen with small but conspicuous black dots between the 
veins ; fringe concolorous with wing. Hindwing with termen very 
slightly prominent at R 3 , but with no true tooth or tail ; antemedian line 
wanting ; median curved round cell-spot on its proximal side, then direct 
to middle of inner margin ; postmedian gently incurved between the 
radials, recurved again later, hence appearing to project bluntly about 
R 3 -Mh Underside paler, especially hindwing ; first line of forewing 
wanting ; median shade (especially of hindwing) weak or almost wanting, 
postmedian line distinct, on hindwing placed nearer termen than above ; 
cell-spots smaller and weaker than above. 
Durban, 11th September, 1900 (type), 5th September, 1900 (cotype), 
taken by A. Ross ; the former in coll. British Museum, the latter in coll. 
L. B. Prout ; other examples from the same source are in the Transvaal 
Museum. 
Acidalia duplicipuncta, n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 18). 
?, 26 mm. Like exiguaria, Walk. (List Lep. Ins. British Museum* 
xxi, 368 ; nec Swinh. Trans. Ent. Soc., Lond., 1904, p. 560) but with the 
postmedian line placed nearer the termen (especially noticeable in the 
hindwing, where it is at about two-thirds instead of scarcely beyond the 
middle), the proximal diffuse shade, of the hindwing almost encircling the 
discal spot, not placed proximally to it as in Walker’s species, the black 
cell-spot of hindwing accompanied anteriorly by a white spot on DC 2 ; 
under surface of both wings weakly reproducing the markings of upper, 
excepting the first line of fore wing and the white spot of hindwing. 
Pretoria, 17th March, 1902 (0. J. Swierstra). Type in coll. Transvaal 
Museum.
