Pselnophorus aulotes , n. sp. 
Male, 14-15 mm. Head ochreous-brown, orbits and a frontal bar 
white. Palpi one, slender, ascending, appressed to face, brownish. 
Antennal ciliations minute. Thorax ochreous-brown, anteriorly white. 
Abdomen pale ochreous-brownish lined with white, towards base white, 
anal tuft white. Fore wings cleft from near middle, segments acute, first 
narrow, second very narrow ; light ochreous-brown ; a slender white 
costal streak, edged on both sides with blackish irroration, from base to 
middle, costal edge thence to cleft blackish ; a white longitudinal mark 
in disk at one- third ; a blackish dot on lower angle of cleft ; some blackish 
irroration along dorsum from base to cleft ; a narrow white streak along 
upper margin of second segment from near base to apex ; some black 
scales along lower margin of both segments posteriorly ; costal cilia from 
cleft to apex white, with blackish marks towards base and in middle of 
segment, and mixed with blackish on posterior third, remaining cilia 
ochreous-brownish, becoming blackish-grey on lower margin of both 
segments towards apex, with black basal dots at apex of both segments, 
on upper margin of second segment with some white scales. Hind wings 
dark grey ; cilia bronzy-grey. 
Woodbush Village, in December (Swierstra) ; two specimens. 
Adaina gentilis, n. sp. 
Male, 15-17 mm. Head yellowish-fuscous, white between antennae 
(damaged). Palpi, hardly over one, snow white. Antennal ciliations 
nearly one. Thorax whitish-yellowish, tinged with grey, anteriorly white. 
Abdomen whitish-grey-yellowish striped with white, with lateral series 
of blackish dots. Fore wings cleft nearly from middle, segments rather 
narrow, acute ; whitish-yellowish, somewhat tinged with grey in disk ; 
costa narrowly white from base to beyond middle ; a fine line of dark 
fuscous suffusion along anterior portion of fold, more or less marked ; a 
small dark grey spot on base of cleft, and another less marked midway 
between this and base of wing ; a small blackish-grey mark on costa

whitish-grey tinged with yellowish, on costa yellow-whitish. Hind wings 
grey or pale grey ; cilia ochreous-grey-whitish. 
Pretoria, in October and December (Janse) ; two specimens. Closely 
allied to the European microdactyla, but palpi somewhat shorter, white 
(in microdactyla towards apex infuscated), fore wings with segments some- 
what narrower and more acutely pointed, quite without dark fuscous 
sprinkling. 
Ma^rasmarcha , Meyr. 
I find that verax Meyr., pavida Meyr., and crepuscularis Meyr., are 
all properly referable to this genus and not to Pterophorus ; the African 
species of the two genera approach one another closely, and cannot in 
fact be discriminated without careful examination of the distinguishing 
character in the venation. I find timidus Meyr., however, to be a true 
Pterophorus.
