band distally to the median band, bounded distally by a dentate linn 
which is only strong at costa and as teeth on the veins ; sub terminal line 
pale, lunulate-dentate, sometimes rendered distinct by dark shading on 
either side ; discal spot indistinct ; terminal dark line interrupted at 
vein- ends and almost interrupted midway between veins ; fringe nearly 
eoncolorous, slightly dark-chequered opposite the veins. Hindwing with 
termen moderately crenulate ; marked similarly to that of Camptogramma 
stellata, costal edge sometimes pale. Underside paler, less reddish (more 
grey), similarly but more weakly marked ; cell-spots distinct.

An obscure species, apparently hitherto overlooked. Sir George 
Hampson several years ago gave the MS. name of obscurata to Miss Barrett’s, 
specimens, but it has remained unpublished. The termen of the hindwing 
is about as strongly crenulate as in H. minuata Walk., therefore more so 
than in the European allies. 
Horisme film, n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 36). 
(J, 21 mm. Face and palpus blackish fuscous, palpus at base paler. 
Head, thorax, and abdomen eoncolorous with wings. 
Wings light reddish brown rather uniformly irrorated with fuscous, 
leaving a narrow, bisected pale band on either side of a very slightly 
darkened median band, markings indistinct, consisting of numerous trans- 
verse lines. Forewing with termen smooth ; basal area rather red, bounded 
by an angulated line ; median band fully one-third of wing, placed slightly 
nearer the distal than the basal extremity, its boundary lines and one in 
its centre somewhat thickened costally, the proximal gently curved and 
sinuous, the distal incurved between radials and slightly in posterior part, 
and with inconspicuous distally-directed teeth throughout ; cell-spot 
small, indistinct ; subterminal pale line very slender, indistinct, dentate, 
placed very near termen ; terminal dark line interrupted by pale dots on 
the vein-ends ; fringe greyish fuscous with a slender pale line at base. 
Hindwing with costa moderately long, termen crenulate, very slightly 
prominent about M 1 ; without the reddened basal area, otherwise like 
forewing, the distal margin of medium band (in accord with the contour 
of the hindwing) slightly more prominent at lU-M 1 . Underside less- 
reddish, basal and median areas not differentiated, their distal boundary- 
line rather thick, the pale band beyond paler, broader, not bisected ; cell- 
spots rather larger and more conspicuous than above ; hindwing with a 
small dark blotch on submedian fold near termen. 
Durban, 8th April, 1909 (G. F. Leigh). T}^pe in coll. Transvaal 
Museum. 
A very small species, of rather Eupitheciid aspect, but with the termen 
of forewing not specially oblique, the hindwing not short, its termen 
crenulate. Meyrick merges Horisme in the Eupitheciid genus Eucymatoge y 
which is biologically precarious, even though the present species might 
seem to lend some colour to the union.
