Argyroploce nebulana Wals. 
cf. 16-20 mm. Head, palpi, thorax dark fuscous, tegulse pale 
fuscous. Abdomen densely hairy. Posterior tibiae and basal 
joint of tarsi broadly expanded with long dense projecting scales, 
pore wings rather short-triangular, apex obtuse; termen slightly 
rounded, rather oblique ; rather dark fuscous ; some scattered small 
black strigulae, costa shortly strigulated black; an ill-defined 
subquadrate blotch on dorsum before middle ; an irregular blackish 
fasciate streak, pointed beneath, from costa towards apex to below 
middle of termen ■: cilia fuscous barred darker. Plindwings rather 
dark grey, tornal area much contracted and contorted, with large 
tuft of long hairs above torn us ; cilia grey. 
Uganda, Kampala, May (H. Hargreaves) ; 2 ex. Allied to pel- 
tastica. I believe this to be the other sex of nebulana Wals., 
described from 2 only. 
Argyroploce phaeacma, n.sp. 
<y. 23 mm. Head, thorax light brownish-ochreous. (Palpi 
missing.) Abdomen rather hairy. Porewings moderate, posteriorly 
dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen faintly sinuate, 
hardly oblique ; light brownish-ochreous, small scattered strigulm 
of dark fuscous irroration, costa similarly strigulated ; confluence of 
strigulse tends to form several irregular striae ; some slight fuscous 
suffusion in middle of disc, and forming small dorsal spots at base 
and -§■ ; an oblique fuscous fascia from costa at | to termen below 
middle, interrupted near termen, apical area within this rather 
infuscated : cilia’brownish, on tornus pale oehreous. Plindwings 
grey ; cilia pale greyish-ochreious, a fuscous subbasal line. 
Bismaeck Is., Hew Britain, Talesea, February; 1 ex. (A. F. 
Eichhorn). Allied to strepsibathra from the same locality, but has 
not the peculiar secondary sexual characters of that species. 
Argyroploce cellifera Meyr. 
This name supersedes codonectis Meyr., Exot. Micr. iii, 339 ; the 
species was originally wrongly attributed to Poh/chrosis. 
Argyroploce crossotoma, n. sp. 
<S 2- 16-19 mm. Head, palpi, thorax dark purplish-fuscous,palpi 
ascending, scales of second joint somewhat roughened. Forewings 
moderate, somewhat dilated, costa gently arched, apex rounded- 
obtuse, termen slightly rounded, little oblique ; dark fuscous, 
suffusedly marbled leaden-metallic, except on a triangular costal 
spot at |, and a large triangular patch extending on costa from 
before middle to near apex, broadest anteriorly and reaching half 
across wing; ocellus indicated by short longitudinal dark marks 
between broad rather oblique leaden-metallic streaks : cilia leaden- 
fuscous, two or three darker shades. Hindwings <$ tornal area 
broadly prominent, a subdorsal groove within thickened dorsal
