EXOTIC TIICEOLEPIDOPTERA. 
furcation of 7 of hindwings is well-developed and regular on botli 
sides. I should conjecture that this outbreak of malformation was 
due to some injurious compression in the pupal stage. 
CECOPHORID.E. 
Macrobathra recrepans, n. sp. 
d . 16 mm. Head, thorax dark fuscous, face whitish. Palpi 
whitish, second joint marked blackish just beneath apex, terminal 
joint nearly twice second, laterally lined blackish. Abdomen dark 
grey, ringed white beneath, anal tuft suffused white. Pore wings 
dark fuscous ; a moderate white transverse fascia about some¬ 
what narrowed towards costa ; a moderate rounded white spot on 
costa at §, and an outwards-oblique spot from dorsum slightly 
before it : cilia dark grey. Hindwings 2-4 parallel, 4 and 5 
approximated at base ; rather dark grey ; cilia grey. 
Ehodesia, Umvuma, December; 1 ex. (Coll. Janse). Excep¬ 
tional in neuration of hindwings, which approaches that of 
Anacoemcistis, but otherwise, especially by palpi, a true Macrobathra. 
Macrobathra pyrodoxa, n. sp. 
5 . 12 mm. Head, palpi, thorax dark bronzy-fuscous. Fore¬ 
wings deep purple ; two slender whitish-yellow transverse fasciae 
edged blackish suffusion, first at direct, second at f, inwards- 
oblique from costa : cilia dark grey. Hindwings 3 and 4 nearly 
parallel ; coppery-fulvous ; cilia fulvous-grey. 
Hew Irelaxd, Hovember ( Eichhorn ); 1 ex. Here- again the 
neuration is abnormal, but by palpi, antennae, &c., the species is 
unquestionably referable to Macrobathra. 
Allotalanta oporista, n. sp. 
2 . 12 mm.' Head, palpi, thorax yellow-ochreous. Pore wings 
yellow-ochreous, some small scattered patches of pale fuscous 
suffusion, a few black specks on these ; a short fine line of black 
specks from base above middle, a longer one along anterior part 
of fold, and a mark beyond this representing plical stigma : cilia 
ochreous-yellow, a few black specks at base. Hindwings grey; 
cilia pale grey, round apex yellow-whitish.

Chezala lunularis, n. sp. 
o . 26 mm. Head, thorax pale greyish-ochreous. (Palpi 
missing.) Forewings posteriorly dilated, apex obtuse-pointed, 
termen somewhat sinuate, rather oblique ; pale greyish-ochreous, a 
few scattered dark brown specks ; base of costal edge dark fuscous; 
discal stigmata dark fuscous, connected bv a reddish-brown line, 
second transversely double, some reddish-brown suffusion beyond 
this, an oblique fasciate cloud of fuscous suffusion from middle of
