fold towards base; terminal edge and posterior half of dorsal 
suffused dark fuscous: cilia grey, an apical bar of dark grey suffusion. 
Hindwings blackish-grey ; cilia grey. 
Belgian Congo, Ruanda, Gabiro, June (R. Verhulst) ; 1 ex. 
(Belg. Cong. Mus.). Nearly allied to the Asiatic inflammatella Ckr. 
Orsodytis trijuncta, n. sp. 
9. 15 mm. Head leaden-grey. Palpi second joint light 
yellowish, apex dark grey, terminal joint dark grey, tip whitish. 
Thorax ochreous-yellow, anterior margin dark grey. Forewings 
rather elongate, rather dilated, costa gently arched towards apex, 
termen faintly sinuate, oblique ; ochreous-yellow; a dark fuscous 
costal streak from base to near middle ; stigmata rather large, 
blackish, plical rather obliquely before first discal, these connected 
by a dark fuscous fasciate streak extended to dorsum, and also bent 
in disc and continued to second discal, an additional blackish spot 
beneath second discal; a suffused dark fuscous spot on costa 
beyond middle; a moderate dark fuscous terminal fascia, its 
anterior edge biconvex: cilia fuscous, a darker median shade. 
Hindwings grey, darker posteriorly ; cilia grey. 
W. China, Mt. Omei, 4000 feet, July ( Franch ); 3 ex. The 
genus is founded on a West African species, which however agrees 
well with the present one superficially as well as structurally. 
SPHAEROLBIA, n. g. 
Head with loosely appressed scales ; ocelli posterior ; tongue 
developed. Antennae over 1, B somewhat stout, simple, scape 
elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second 
joint smooth-scaled, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. 
Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Hind tibiae loosely haired, with 
median tuft of long projecting hairscales, basal joint of tarsi 
loosely haired. Forewings 2 from towards angle, 3 and 4 connate 
from angle, 5 absent, 6 and 7 short-stalked, 7 to costa, 8 absent, 
11 from Hindwings 1, elongate-trapezoidal, apex pointed, 
termen slightly sinuate, very oblique, cilia 1; 2 from 3 and 4 
connate from angle, 5 absent, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Nearly related to Olbothrejitci, of which it is a specialised 
development with reduced neuration of forewings. 
Sphaerolbia chrematistis, n. sp. 
B 9 . 13 mm. Head, palpi, thorax fyellow, tegulae orange. 
Antennae yellowish, apical | grey. Forewings elongate, costa 
gently arched, apex pointed, termen slightly rounded, very oblique; 
bright yellow; large rounded leaden-metallic discal blotches about 
i and f, first nearly reaching costa, second reaching tornus,
