dark fuscous, in female whitish-ochreous irrorated with blackish ; 
pale ochreous spots beneath costa at J and J, between which are traces 
of an oblique bar of somewhat darker suffusion ; base of dorsum 
whitish-ochreous and some ochreous markings about fold towards 
base; stigmata dark fuscous surrounded with rather deep ochreous, 
plical rather obliquely before first diskal, second diskal somewhat 
below middle ; whitish-ochreous spots on tornus and costa opposite ; 
cilia pale whitish-ochreous sprinkled with black points. Hindwings 
pale grey; cilia pale whitish-ochreous. 
Pretoria, in August and October; twT> specimens. Yery close to 
two Australian species, pyrrhanthes and bucolica , and intermediate 
between them, but differs from both by the stalking of 6 with 7 
and 8 in forewings. Notwithstanding this structural distinction, 
the relationship is undoubtedly real and intimate. 
Paristhmia, n.g. 
Head with appressed scales; ocelli small; tongue developed. 
Antennae 5 , in male shortly ciliated, basal joint moderate, without 
pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened with 
dense appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second, slender, 
acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. 
Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 2 and 3 
stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, 
trapezoidal, apex pointed, termen sinuate, oblique, cilia 1 ; 2 and 3 
stalked from much before angle, 4 from angle, 5 somewhat approxi- 
mated at base, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Allied to Braclimia, from which it differs by the peculiar 
structure of veins 2 and 3 of hindwings ; this may perhaps be modified 
in female. 
Paristhmia barathrodes, n. sp. (Plate Y, fig. 1). 
Male, 12 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous, face and 
sternum dark fuscous. Palpi whitish-ochreous, second joint dark 
fuscous except apex. Abdomen light grey. Forewings elongate, 
narrow, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen abliquely rounded ; 
whitish-ochreous tinged with brownish ; a black dot on base of costa 
and one on fold before J ; an oblong transverse blackish blotch in 
disk before middle representing plical and first diskal stigmata ; 
second diskal stigma black ; an undefined fascia of light fuscous 
suffusion just beyond this, extremities blackish; three or four 
undefined fuscous dots on termen ; cilia whitish-ochreous. Hindwings 
with a furrow beneath cell and vein 2 containing a grey hairpencil ; 
grey; cilia light grey, base ochreous-tinged. 
Pretoria, in January; one specimen.

(Lecithocera maculata Wals. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, 
p. 276, pi. xi, fig. 18.) 
One male; antennae i (therefore not a Lecithocerai, thick, pale 
nchreous-yellowish ; forewings with 8 and 9 out of 7, 7 to apex; dark
