plical somewhat before first discal ; some obscure blackish dots on posterior 
part of costa and termen : cilia grey. Hindwings 1, apex pointed, rather 
strongly produced ; grey, lighter towards base ; cilia light grey. 
Three Sisters (Janse) ; in March, two specimens. Very near zetter- 
stedtiella, but smaller, brighter-coloured, and distinguished by white and 
black palpi, and posteriorly grey abdomen (in zetterstedtiella the abdomen 
is wholly whitish-ochreous). 
Gelechia rhodochra, n. sp. 
$. 17-18 mm. Head and thorax pale ochreous, more or less rosy- 
tinged. Palpi whitish-ochreous. Abdomen grey. Forewings elongate, 
rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex acute, termen faintly sinuate, 
very oblique ; rosy-ochreous, costa suffused with light yellow- ochreous ; 
costal edge black at base ; a black streak along basal third of dorsum ; 
plical stigma well-marked, black ; second discal minute, blackish, between 
this and termen a spot of fuscous suffusion ; a more or less developed 
fuscous spot on costa at §, sometimes little marked ; a few fuscous scales 
on termen : cilia rosy-ochreous. Hindwings slightly over 1, apex tri- 
angularly produced, acute ; grey ; ciha pale grey. 
Barberton, Waterval Onder (Janse) ; in November and December, 
two specimens. 
Gelechia matutina, n. sp. 
$. 15 mm. Head and thorax rosy-ochreous- whitish, patagia blackish. 
Palpi white, second joint blackish except apical third, terminal joint longer 
than second, anterior edge blackish. Abdomen pale grey. Forewings 
elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex pointed, termen extremely 
obliquely rounded ; blackish ; a moderate pale rosy-ochreous streak 
from near base along dorsum and termen to near apex, upper edge irregular, 
triangularly indented about tornus : cilia whitish-ochreous tinged with 
rosy, with blackish median line and indistinct subapical line. Hindwings 
pale grey, apex darker ; cilia pale grey. 
Waterval Onder (Janse) ; in November, one specimen. 
Gelechia siasiarcha, n. sp. 
<£. 15-16 mm. Head white. Palpi white, second joint blackish on 
basal | (in one example almost wholly white), anterior edge of terminal 
joint blackish towards apex. Thorax white, patagia blackish-fuscous. 
Abdomen ochreous- whitish or fuscous. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, 
costa gently arched, apex pointed, termen slightly sinuate, very oblique ; 
shining white ; a broad dark purplish-fuscous median longitudinal band 
from base to apex : cilia white, on costa with basal and two other dark 
fuscous lines converging to apex. Hindwings over 1, apex obtuse, termen 
slightly sinuate ; grey- whitish or grey ; cilia whitish or whitish-grey. 
Barberton (Janse) ; in December and January, two specimens. The 
differences in the specimens are certainly curious, but I am unable to 
regard them as distinct. The species resembles trisignis, but is obviously 
broader-winged, and distinguished by the dark lines in costal cilia. 
Gelechia devia, n. sp. 
?. 13 mm. Head and thorax white finely sprinkled with dark 
fuscous, with a fine black central line on crown and anterior part of thorax,
