Eccymatoge, n. gen. 
Characters of Eucymatoge Hb. as defined by Meyrick (Trans. Ent. 
Soc., Lond., 1892, p. 67) and Turner (Proc. Roy. Soc., Victoria, xvi, 247, 
1904), but with the termen of the hindwing dentate and its discocellulars 
biangulate, R 2 arising nearer to R 3 than to R 1 . Face in both the known 
species apparently without definite cone, only a little rough-scaled. 
Type : Hydriomena callizona Lower - Eucymatoge callizona Turner 
(Proc. Roy. Soc., Victoria, xvi, 250). 
As this is the “ Eucymatoge , Section III ” of Turner, loc. cit ., a detailed 
diagnosis is unnecessary. Differs from Coenocalpe Hb. (type lapidata, Hb.) 
in the better developed abdominal crests and the dentate termen of hind- 
wing. Possesses, like Collix Guen., a discocellular spot of strongly raised 
scales on forewing. 
Eccymatoge melanoterma, n. sp. 
cJ, 26 mm. Face reddish brown mixed with black. Palpus blackish, 
first and second joints pale beneath. Antennal ciliation minute. Thorax 
dorsally reddish brown, mixed with fuscous in front ; abdomen dorsally 
reddish brown with a whitish band at base, followed by a fuscous one. 
Fore and middle legs above fuscous, pale-spotted at ends of joints. 
Forewing shaped as in a moderately elongate Eupithecia, apex acute, 
termen feebly subcrenulate ; red-brown with costal edge to about two- 
thirds fuscous ; transverse lines very indistinct, apparently somewhat 
broken into spots, oblique outwards from costa, bent about SC, incurved 
posteriorly to cell, two following the cell-spot the least indistinct ; cell- 
spot large, black, slightly raised, extending nearly the length of the 
discocellulars ; a dark mark near and a smaller one at tornus ; terminal 
line black, interrupted at vein-ends (fringe defective). Hindwing with 
costa rather long and very straight; slightly paler than for ewing, except 
along inner margin, where the beginnings of lines are traceable, those 
near tornus almost merged into a dark spot ; terminal dark line interrupted 
at vein-ends. Underside of hindwing better marked, a rather strong dark 
discal spot and strongly angled postmedian line well discernible. 
Haenertsburg, 7th December, 1909 (C. J. Swierstra). Type in coll. 
Transvaal Museum. 
The type is unfortunately rather rubbed, but easily distinguishable 
by the structural characters. It has quite the facies above of a Collix , 
but cannot be mistaken for one if the palpus, antenna and hindwing 
venation be taken into account ; it is, moreover, much smaller than the 
only two known African Collix ( foraminata Guen. and inaequata Guen.). 
Eupithecia hypophasma, n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 3). 
(J, 20 mm. Head and palpus grey, mixed with ferruginous and 
fuscous. Antennal ciliation minute. Thorax and abdomen dorsally 
reddish brown, the former with an anterior transverse fuscous band, the 
latter marked with fuscous at the extremities of the segments and with a 
narrow mediodorsal pale line ; the crests minute, mainly whitish. 
For ewing with costa nearly straight, termen rather strongly oblique ; 
reddish brown or slightly ferruginous (colour of typical E. vulgata Haw.),
