Acrocercops acmophanes, n. sp. 
$ . 8-9 mm. Head whitish-grey. Palpi white, second joint 
with moderate projecting tuft beneath, dark fuscous except apical 
margin, terminal joint with dark fuscous submedian and apical 
bands. Thorax grey. Forewings grey, with irregular dark grey 
transverse striae speckled whitish, some margined white, especially 
towards costa; an oblique blackish spot from costa at two 
limiting a blackish-grey antemedian blotch, and one beyond middle; 
three small blackish spots of raised scales on dorsum ; an angulated 
oblique white dark-edged subterminal stria, apical and terminal 
area beyond this pale ochreous-yellowish, including opposite white 
dark-edged dots on margins, and a black white-edged apical dot: 
cilia light greyish, at apex a dark grey projecting hook. Hindwings

Natal, Perie Forest, July ; 2 ex. (type Coll. Janse). Allied to 
the Indian auricilla , but without the dorsal scale-projections of 
that species.

reflections, with three black lines. Hindwings and cilia grey. 
Brazil, Bio Grande do Sul, bred from larvae mining irregular 
galleries becoming elongate blotches in upperside of leaves of an 
unspecified tree (received through Dr. Juan Brethes). Pupa with a 
flat lanceolate acute organ projecting from forehead, doubtless for 
effecting escape from leaf, which is of stiff texture. Allied to 
lithomacha.

middle; a transverse spot on costa at |, reaching half across wing, 
continued by blackish suffusion to tornus ; an indistinct transverse 
streak of blackish suffusion before apex : cilia grey, two small 
suffused white basal spots on termen and one on costa. Hindwings 
rather dark grey ; cilia grey. 
New Hebrides, Malekula I., August ( Buxton ); 1 ex. 
Gracilaria octopunctata Turn. 
Misled by conspicuous and identical markings, I have confused 
several species under this name ; previous records of localities and
