Tineola nesiastis, n. sp. 
Female, 18 mm. Head pale dull fulvous. Palpi dark fuscous, terminal 
joint short, pale ochreous. Antennae and thorax dark purplish-fuscous. 
Abdomen fuscous. Fore wings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently 
arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; dark purplish-fuscous, 
obscurely blackish-sprinkled ; a small round whitish-ochreous spot in 
disc at three-quarters, just beyond cell; cilia fuscous with several dark 
purplish-fuscous lines. Hind wings purplish-bronzy-fuscous ; cilia fuscous. 
Pretoria, in December (Janse) ; one specimen. 
Melasina undulata , n. sp. 
Male, 23 mm. ; female, 28 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax yellow- 
whitish, thorax in female tinged with greyish-ochreous ; palpi moderately 
long, with loosely appressed scales. Antennae whitish, pectinations in 
male : a six ; b four. Abdomen in male grey-whitish, in female grey. 
Fore wings sub-oblong, moderately broad, costa slightly arched, apex 
obtuse, termen straight, oblique ; ochreous-yellow-whitish, in male with 
very faint indications of deeper strigulae, in female transversely strigulated 
throughout with light yellowish-grey ; cilia yellow-whitish, in female 
irrorated with grey. Hind wings in male yellow-whitish irrorated with 
grey, in female rather dark grey ; cilia white, with grey ante-median 
line. 
Moorddrift (Swierstra), one male; Bandolier Kop (Grough), one female; 
both taken in October, and I have no doubt of their being sexes of the 
same species ; stupea, Wallgr. (described as an Euplocamus), would seem 
to be a nearly allied species, but the head is described as ferruginous. 
Adelidae.

fuscous towards base, moderately ciliated (one) towards base. Thorax 
dark fuscous with a few whitish hairs. Abdomen dark fuscous. Fore 
wings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely 
rounded ; purple, suffusedly irrorated with blackish ; a broad suffused 
yellow sub-median streak from base to middle ; a suffused yellow elongate 
mark in middle of disc ; some scattered white scales tending to form several 
fine white strigulae on posterior half of costa, and a fine interrupted curved 
line from two-thirds of costa to tornus ; cilia grey, with dark grey sub-
