Braciimxa lamprostoma Z. 
(G-elechia zulu Wals. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lon‘d. 1881, p. 261, 
pi. xii, fig. 30.) 
Afterwards identified by Lord Walsingham with lamprostoma Z., 
and referred to the genus Anacampsis ; it is, however, certainly a 
Bvachmia, having 2 and 3 of forewings stalked, and 7 and 8 stalked, 
7 running to apex. It varies very much in development of white 
and ferruginous-brown markings ; one male has crown of head 
fuscous, forewings with median fascia not reaching costa, and no 
white scales on termen ; another has much more ferruginous-brown 
suffusion anteriorly,' diskal stigma large, white-edged.
