Woodbush Village (Swierstra) ; Pinetown, Natal (Leigh) ; in December 
and January; nine specimens. 
Laspeyresia chelias-, Meyr. 
Pretoria, in October (Janse) ; one specimen. The species was described 
from Ceylon ; it has probably been introduced with some cultivated 
leguminous plant. 
Gelechiadae. 
Epiphthora crystallista, n. sp. 
Male, 10 mm. Head and thorax white with a few dark fuscous specks. 
Palpi white, second joint sprinkled with dark fuscous except apex, scales 
rather projecting at apex beneath, terminal joint very short (one- third). 
Antennae white. Abdomen whitish. Fore wings narrow-lanceolate, 
long-pointed ; white, sprinkled with black specks suffused with brownish, 
especially along costa and dorsum and on two longitudinal streaks in 
disc above and below middle, upper extending from base to three-quarters, 
lower shorter, and three longitudinal marks before and beyond tornus 
and at apex ; cilia white, sprinkled with blackish points except towards 
tornus, with a blackish apical line. Hind wings with emargination nearly 
rectangular, produced apex over one- third ; light grey; cilia whitish- 
grey-ochreous. 
Pretoria, in August and September (Janse) ; two specimens. I note 
here that Epiphthora , Meyr., supersedes Didactylota, Wals., and that I 
consider Proactica, Wals., also only a synonym. 
Photodotis, n. g. 
Head with appressed scales ; ocelli present ; tongue developed. 
Antennae four-fifths, in male ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. 
Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened with dense projecting 
scales forming a short tuft beneath, terminal joint as long as second, 
thickened with appressed scales slightly rough anteriorly, pointed. 
Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae 
clothed with hairs above. Fore wings with two from angle, three absent, 
four approximated to two, seven and eight stalked, seven to costa, eleven 
from middle. Hind wings one, elongate-trapezoidal, termen obliquely 
bisinuate beneath apex, cilia one and a half ; three and four somewhat 
approximated, five rather bent, six and seven parallel. 
Probably allied to Aristotelia. 
Photodotis prochalina, n. sp. 
Male and female, 10-11 mm. Head pale whitish-ochreous, sometimes 
with a few dark fuscous scales. Palpi ochreous-whitish, second joint sprinkled 
with dark fuscous towards base, with a broad dark fuscous supra-median 
band, terminal joint with black supra-median band and some black scales 
near base. Antennae white ringed with dark fuscous. Thorax ochreous- 
whitish, posteriorly with three black marginal dots, patagia whitish- 
ochreous sprinkled with dark fuscous. Abdomen dark fuscous, anal tuft 
ochreous-whitish. Fore wings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, 
apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; dark grey closely irrorated
