EXOTIC MICROLEITDOPIEEA. 
in gossypiella ; grey ; cilia light greyish-ochreous, with two grey 
shades. 
Uganda, Kampala, bred in February from larvae on Hibiscus 
diversifolius (Hancock ) ; 2 ex. (type Brit. Mus.). Though allied to 
gossypiella , this is quite distinct specifically, especially by the 
different palpi and form of wings. 
Nothris deltocrates, n. sp. 
$ . 14 mm. Head whitish-ochreous. Palpi white, second joint 
black except apical fourth, apical half of terminal joint black. 
Thorax whitish-ochreous, a broad dark fuscous central stripe. 
Porewings widest before middle, narrowed posteriorly, termen very 
obliquely rounded ; whitish-ochreous, markings blackish-fuscous ; a 
triangular spot on costa at a dot beyond this, a semioval spot in 
middle, and a small spot at |; two triangular blotches, connected 
on dorsum, occupying whole dorsum from near base to tornus, first 
just touching first costal spot, second reaching f across wing; an 
apical blotch extending to tornus, where it touches preceding, its 
anterior edge with an irregular projection below middle : cilia dark 
fuscous (imperfect). Hindwiugs grey, thinly scaled anteriorly ; 
cilia light grey. 
Rhodesia, Salisbury, December; 1 ex. (Coll. Janse). This very 
distinct species is a true Nothris , the first recorded from S. Africa, 
since other species formerly placed in Nothris are now referred 
elsewhere. 
Nothris biannnlella Chamb. 
Having obtained a very long series of this species from Texas 
(whence it was originally described), I now see that I was prematui e 
in identifying it in the Genera Insectorum with the European 
sabinella Zell.; it is really very closely related, but not specifically 
identical; I have it also from Alberta and Colorado. 
Stomopteryx iobapta, n. sp. 
c? 2 • H-12 mm. Head grey. Palpi second joint grey sprinkled 
white, terminal joint white lined blackish. Thorax crimson-grey. 
Eorewings 6 separate; light dull ferruginous-crimson suffusedly 
irrorated grey and dark grey; plical and first discal stigmata 
cloudy, obscurely darker, plical rather anterior; a nearly straight 
slender cloudy whitish fascia at edged anteriorly by a fascia of 
blackish-grey suffusion interrupted above middle: cilia light rosy- 
grey slightly speckled blackish, base suffused ferruginous. Hind- 
wings grey ; cilia light grey. 
Texas, Alpine, 5000-7000 feet, April, July; 8 ex. Similar in 
marking (but not in colour) to pcdpilineella , which occurs commonly 
with it, but has 6 of forewings out of 7. 
Stomopteryx metadesma, n. sp. 
. 11 mm. Head whitish-grey, face white. Palpi white, 
terminal joint lined black. Thorax dark grey. Forewings 6 out
